(based on the novel by E. Nesbit)
starring Freddie Highmore, Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Izzard (voice)
We watched this via Netflix with our kids. It was cute and the kids liked it. Like most films based on novels, there is plenty of stuff left out or changed, but it works. Freddie Highmore is always fantastic, and how can you go wrong with Kenneth Branagh and Eddie Izzard in supporting roles? The story is a fun fantasy centered around 5 siblings (and their horrible cousin), so naturally, most kids will enjoy it. There is plenty of action, nothing offensive (with the exception of a few naughty childish pranks), and there are some sweet emotional moments.
