Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: They may find themselves mystified and a little bored by a movie designed to leave their adult companions misty-eyed.
Fresh: It's a family movie with a heart and a brain. And if you aren't moved to tears, you might need an organ transplant.
Fresh: Flaws and all, this is superior family entertainment in the tradition of quality that co-producer Mark Johnson has long championed.
Fresh: Flawless period re-creation.
