Poorly done, 25 September 2003
Author: jack-smales

It is surprising that the makers of this film thought it was good enough to show on the big screen. It is like they have scraped away to get to the basic material that makes up Tom`s Midnight Garden and then just strung it together. It is as weak and rushed as the TinTin adventures.Some things are still enjoyable if they are rushed but this isn`t one of them. The cast was terrible,the performances wooden,and some of the storylines different from the book. The script is also a problem.It comes in chunks so like you will have a chunk and then none at all and then a chunk and so on. People who like the book will find it a let down. And now we have got a version of Carries War in 2005.I really like the book,so I hope it is of better quality than this awful and shallow film.
