READ THE REVIEW
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C
"Polanski has said he made the movie for his school-age children. Looked at in that light, the movie has a certain jolly blandness. It's safe, it's presentable. But nothing more."
The Palm Beach Post: C+
"...a rendering that must have sounded better in Polanski's pitch meeting than it plays out onscreen."
