Review of The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) by Loriinnyc — 15 Feb 2008
A lot of money must have been spent on the CGI and FX. Too bad more didn't go to the script. The movie never lets us acclimate into it's world, so we remain detached-- not really caring about it, or its inhabitants.
Vacillates between scary without thematic purpose, and precious with perfunctory sentimentality. Too bad the great cast is wasted.
