Director Matthew O'Callaghan and screenwriter Ken Kaufman haven't tried to create a film that's hip, just one that's funny and sweet, and in that sense they've succeeded. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Throw in an impressive vocal cast, including Van Dyke, Ferrell, Drew Barrymore and Joan Plowright and a terrific batch of toe-tapping Jack Johnson tunes -- and, even more than 15 years on, George is a movie with great school holiday appeal. Go to Full Review

Jul 16 Took my three year-old to the movies for the first time. Movie was actually entertaining for him as well as me.. lots of funny moments. See more Esther A @EAnderson Jan 1 People are deducting stars from a children’s movie for its lack of thrills and yet, my 2 and 5 year old LOVE this movie. People forget that children’s movies, just like the books, CAN be simple and beautiful at the same time. The strong, bright colors of this movie will forever have an impression on me!! I loved it and created an account just because of the bad reviews… I APPLAUD the creators for a work that doesn’t have to add inappropriate content to develop a beautiful children’s movie… GREAT JOB 👏 and THANK YOU See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 20 Funny in 1 hour and 27 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
