      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Despite impressive production values, this is staid, plodding and unimpressive fantasy-fare, with poor performances struggling with an underdeveloped script.

      Edward Porter Times (UK) Richards starred in 2007's The Golden Compass and, compared with big-budget fantasies of that kind, this smaller effort can't help looking mimsy, despite its good intentions. Rated: 2/5 Feb 12, 2009 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) A sluggish narrative is further hampered by "comic" turns (Juliet Stevenson, as a gurning governess) and some frankly shameless knockoffs. Rated: 1/5 Feb 10, 2009 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A sweet if faintly soporific fantasy adventure for family audiences. Feb 6, 2009 Full Review Karen Wirsling Common Sense Media Enchanting fantasy turns teen into sweet, selfless princess. Rated: 4/5 Feb 13, 2017 Full Review Common Sense Media Editors Common Sense Media Enchanting fantasy turns teen into sweet, selfless princess. Rated: 4/5 Jan 25, 2011 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) A film about magic that remains obdurately unmagical. Feb 12, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
