It was fun, well done and beautifully shot. It was funny and moving and even after reading the books and knowing what was coming, it managed to suck us in.

The star cast only helped and I, who usually can’t stand Jim Carrey’s ham-handedness, thought he was amazing. I also recommend you stick around for the end credits because the shadow puppetry is gorgeous :)

In fact, it was so amusing that my daughter revisited her decision not to finish the book and ran upstairs to start it all over again!

these unfortunate events were very amusingly portrayed on screen.
