I'm a little shocked this only received 4.1 stars out of 10! Last night I watched "North" for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Elijah Wood is irresistible as little North, a young boy who decides to venture out and find new parents after his two bickering ones (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Jason Alexander) pay no attention to him. Bruce Willis is great as a man who reappears and offers valuable advice everywhere North goes, and the rest of the movie is dotted with familiar faces, too. While this film is by no means an Oscar winner, it's lighthearted and certainly enjoyable for a family to watch (no major cursing, no nudity, etc). Elijah Wood's performance alone is worth it...yes, he is a big name presently, but bearing in mind this was made in 1994, his acting was quite phenomenal for such a young boy! So if you're looking for a cute movie, suitable for children and something other than Disney or animation, give "North" a whirl!
