This was a nice little film. Iv'e never seen the original ,or read the book but I got what I needed to know from this film. It was interesting. I was also surprised to learn the four main children are all new to the acting scene and all did really good jobs with the characters and looked like they had great fun, especially in the swallow boat. Kelly mcdonald plays the mum and does well. Andrew the hot priest scott plays one of two detectives in pursuit of ralph spall. I did find the second plot to the movie a little strange and out of place. But overall it was a nice family movie and of childhood wondermant.
