Comments:
Another family movie which is perfect for this holiday ^_^. You can ask your children to watch and feel no worry. This is pure adventure movie, an imaginary film which is quite entertaining. Not too many family movies in theater nowadays and when i found Spiderwick and Kung Fu Panda, i'm pleased. Well tough i don't have kids to take along, this safe movie is sometimes a good way to relase your stress. Don't miss this ^_^

Fun facts:
  • Film prints were send to some theaters under the fake title called "Widow".
  • When Mallory and Jared are fighting at the beginning, you can see Jared is mouthing Mallory's words.
