Hoskins may not get the film's pacing right, but he knows enough to hire a distinguished photography to deliver the necessary tricks.

The movie has a warm heart, but little else, despite enthusiastic cameos from Dan Aykroyd and Saul Rubinek.

1/4

Though billed as a film for youngsters be warned that the language is a bit strong. However, that's nothing compared with the fact that Hoskins has an alarming lack of directorial flair.

[A] movie employing The Wizard of Oz (though more a crutch to hobble on than as a pole to vault with).
