London orphan Molly Moon (Raffey Cassidy) must outwit a crook who wants to get his hands on her hypnotism book.

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

A rebarbative mess - mirthless and shoddy like a disposable Christmas stocking novelty.

Rated: 2/5

Cassidy's clear blue eyes are so mesmerizing that it is easy to believe they can bewitch anyone.

Rated: B

That Harry Potter magic proves decidedly elusive in this chintzy British children's fantasy.

Molly Moon follows all of the beats of the genre in an unapologetic manner, but what transpires is a film that feels more like an elongated episode of a programme on CBBC, which really, is where this project is more likely to have found its home.

Rated: 2/5

It's corny, but it also represents an ideal fantasy fulfilment for preteen girls.

Rated: 3/5

It follows the familiar kids movie tropes but it doesn’t do anything new with them

throw b

it pains me to rate it this low the molly moon book series was my and still is my favorite book series of all time however the movie didn't match it at all they took away some important characters and added useless ones that never existed molly never learned anything and they added so many pointless scenes that were not in the book why did they change so many things it's practically not the same book what a let down i was so mad watching the trailer and then I watch the movie and I wanted to cry I wanted to watch this with my family so they could understand why I love the books but this movie made me cringe so hard I will make sure my family never sees this the movie could have been good if it was not associated with the book however the movie was almost set up to fail because nothing can be as great a the books. I should never have got my hopes up. Also the way they changed things in the movie from the book makes it so there could never even be a second movie. It's just so sad. Also why does molly's agent sing why does he sing ugg worst part of the movie the guy obviously wanted more screen time by changing the book to glorify himself absolutely horrible I respect his singing but don't change things for yourself

I thought this is a great kids movie, fast moving with a little bit of magic, not going to win any oscars but a real easy watch with a good message.

Nothing like the book so bad I could puke. All the surprises and plot twists taken out. In addition, it is completely inaccurate.
