Mortimer "Mo" Folchart (Brendan Fraser) raises his thirteen years old daughter Meggie (Eliza Hope Bennett) alone after the disappearance of his wife Resa (Sienna Guillory). He works restoring books and travels with Meegie seeking an old book called "Inkheart" in antique bookshops in Europe. When he is approached by a weird man called Dustfinger (Paul Bettany), she overhears that her father is called 'Silvertongue' and finds later that he has the ability of bringing characters out of the books to the real world. They escape from Dustfinger heading to Italy to the manor of Meggie's aunt Elinor Loredan (Helen Mirren), where the men of the evil Capricorn (Andy Serkis) abduct them with the intention to force Mo to bring the powerful Shadow to Earth.
"Inkheart" is an enjoyable and pleasant adventure. Despite the flaws, the story is original and entertaining, and the outstanding Paul Bettany performs an anti-hero with flawed character since he is selfish and coward. His wife Jennifer Connelly has a cameo in the role of his beloved Roxanne. I watched this movie with my wife and friends and everybody enjoyed it. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Coração de Tinta – O Livro Mágico" ("Inkheart – The Magic Book")
