First I love Johnny Depp!
I was told that this move it not a remake but I different twist to a classic. I was really excited to see it.
I thought the movie was ok.. didn't really care for the music though. Johnny Depp did a great job and so did Freddie Highmore. I didn't know that Annasophia Robb (Opal- Because of Winndixie) was in the movie.
So all in all - it will never stand up to the original. I just didn't think it was as funny as I thought it would be. It was kinda dry- (normally I find dry humor funny). It did have a great moral to the story though and I did feel a spiritual connection to the movie.
Danielle and her friend Shaina thought it was ok also (both are 12)
I give it * * * out of 5.
