Title: Life is too short to be preached at by arrogant little boys.
Review: How odd that a movie based on a novel that encourages kids to read has no: cohesive narrative, interesting characters, pacing, originality, or redeeming value! There are so many better fantasy movies aimed at children than this. "The Dark Crystal" springs to mind. This movie is preachy, pretentious (I've read this and this and this and this and this!), and flat-out dull. I suggest you try a fantasy movie that doesn't insult your intelligence before you wrestle with this trash.P.S. What's the father's problem? His wife and the mother of his son just died, and he treats his obviously severely introverted son like a poop trailer.
