Make no mistake: this is definitely a kids' movie and I expect most of the young 'uns will enjoy it, Mine did. Their parents will get quite a few chuckles from it too, and that's due to some delicious cameos by some well known British character actors, and one who is not British. I'm talking about Angelica Huston who is very funny as Henry's school teacher, Miss Battleaxe. These performers look like they are having a great time, even though some of them are only onscreen for a few minutes..
It's not just the adults who are enjoyable though. This features a bunch of talented child actors. I particularly liked Ross Marron who plays Henry's younger brother, Perfect Peter..
This movie is equal parts quirky, funny, clever and disgusting (an important quality for pre-teen schoolboys). Me and the family recommend it.
