This film is enjoyable if you under twelve years of age and are new to all the stereotypes it attempts to portray.
For adults I recommend suspending cynicism and watch it through your inner-child's eye.
It is a whimsical bit of fun not to be taken too seriously.
Some of this film is unbelievably crap and made me wonder how on earth did it get made. Then I recalled it was a BBC production which means jobs for friends in favourable places. Nepotism within the BBC is shockingly awful and the amount of rubbish they commission is embarrassing.
With such a great story to be inspired by the writer, script doctor, and director should have made a classic. They had four hours to use and should be ashamed of what they made.
