Review of Horrid Henry: The Movie

I'd like to know how so many well known actors and actresses thought that this movie was a good idea, did they even read the script before agreeing? I never enjoyed the Horrid Henry cartoon series, all the characters were super annoying, I did wonder if the films version of them would be less irritating, the answer, no, I think they are quite possibly even worse. Unfortunately my child does like this film and until he's old enough to develop some taste and understand real humour it looks like I'll be subject to this rubbish a little longer, sigh.
