Has anyone seen this yet? I went this afternoon with mum and the boys. I quite liked it but poor DS2 (4) wasn't the least bit interested, bless him. I didn't think he'd like it much though but had no choice but to take him. Mum found it a bit too dark but DS1 (7) liked it.

Wondering whether my goth-like 5 yr old would enjoy this?

Just been to see it. DD 6 loved it (especially the baby - adorable) ds 9 enjoyed it but was cross that it didn't follow the books to the letter. I wouldn't take an under 5 - even dd found some bits quite scary.
I enjoyed it but find Jim Carey
SO irritating I can hardly bear it.

We saw it yesterday and all liked it a lot (girls are 7 and 9). The scenery is stunning and Jim Carey really wasn't as annoying as I thought he was going to be. The child actors are great and they've done very well with Sunny's character - she gurgles like a baby and her "real words" appear on screen. Highly recommended!

We went to see it on Thursday, as our first trip to the pics since ds was born 13 months ago (without him). I LOVED it!!! Just my kind of filming, scenery, costumes, fairy tale. I'm so glad I liked it, as it was our one chance to get out and see something@

I've just taken my two, 6yr old dd and ds is 4 in 2 weeks, they both loved it and weren't scared. I found it a bit dissapointing though, not really what I was expecting, and it is a dark film.

We've just been with 8yo dd. She loved it, even though she (and I!) jumped out of her skin at the snake bit. I thought the wedding scene was a bit bizarre - very dark overtones there. And I want that baby - soooooo cute!!

I finally managed to get to see this with ds1 yesterday. We both enjoyed it: thought the beginning with the elf was great! The kids were all brilliant, especially the baby.

It was scarier than I anticipated for a PG ... but then I say that about every film: must be a sign of my age! (I'm glad I didn't take ds2 though, as he found Nemo scary!)

Unfortunately ds1 still seems reluctant to read the books Probably just because he knows I want him to. It's just frustrating, as he reads loads and loads of books, and I know he would love them.
