Yet another movie based on a kids book. I've noticed that this book has been so popular in the library amongst young kids!

Going to see this as our first free screening this Sunday, looks quite amusing! Hope they haven't put all the best bits in the trailer though...

umm..what can I say? It's a kids film and it's squarely aimed at kids. You get all the usual cliches about your first day/week/year at middle school. I am really struggling to think of something new or inventive about this film. The dialogue's very cliched and poor Steve Zahn, what is he doing in a film like this??? 2/10 for me, maybe 6/10 if you are under 10.....

Good way to spend a Sunday morning when you don't want your brain taxing: Leeds/Bradford about 60/70% full and film quite well received.

Cinema seems to be slowly falling apart - escalator still not working, ditto ladies' loos upstairs. Trailers for new films shown without switching sound from background music... maybe the projectionist wasn't quite awake?

Nice to catch up with Cortone.

7.5/10 from me.
I once went hiking with M. C. Escher. It was uphill all the way there and uphill all the way back.
