My Movie Rating:
9 / 10 8 / 10 A movie that hits all the right notes, very deliberately. It sets out to be a crowd-pleaser and it succeeds. Jamie Bell -- who has gone on to a solid adult acting career, appearing in, among others, Nicholas Nickleby, Jane Eyre, The Adventures of Tintin and the Rosemary Sutcliff adaptation The Eagle -- acts his socks off and dances with energy, though it's very clear he's had no actual ballet training. His character is eleven, but he was thirteen and a half when filming began and it shows; on the other hand, Stuart Wells looks and sounds much younger than the seventeen he was during filming. He joined the army after making this!
My Movie Rating: 7 / 10 This is one of my favorite movie
