L'irrésistible North

Wow this movie was bad. I heard Siskel and Ebert slandering it when I was younger...and I was thinking that it couldn't possibly be that bad. Well,...I was wrong. Elijah Wood plays a boy who doesn't like his parents because they don't let him do everything that he wants to. She he decides to take them to court. And the suprising thing is that he actually wins. Kids don't get out of their homes when their parents are molesting them, beating them, and neglecting them, and North gets out because his parents don't let him run wild like he doesn't have any? The movie is just lame. Maybe it's amusing to 10 year olds who think that parents should let them do whatever they want, but the world just isn't like that. So get over it. The only good thing about this movie...of which many other commentaries have mentioned, was Bruce Willis in the pink bunny suit. I bet he will never live that down. He's probably looking back on this movie and crying. It was nice to see him in a 'family' movie. 2 out of 10. The 2 points are for the bunny costume.

It is an ok family movie not bad but that good, beautiful story abot family love, the film has many overreaction silly parts to make it works but still in general its good because its talks about loving your family

This movie wasn't as good as I thought, but it's okay. The idea was a very good one, but not realistic. The script should've been rewritten a couple times. One of the only good things about this movie was the casting. Don't be fooled. Great actors & a shallow plot didn't make this a legendary movie. If you do see it, make sure to bring the family, because it's cute enough for everyone to see. Even Grandma.

I really enjoyed this. A subversive fantasy, kind of set in the real world of curious and questionable adults.

I think I was the same age as Elijah Wood when he starred in this movie, and I think I recall seeing the world something like this, albeit minus the American satire. What we don't know and imagine about adults when we're kids is both wonderful and terrible. North captures this quality well. I also was questioning of my parents and this movie struck a chord.

This is also the only film you'll likely see Bruce Willis in a pink bunny rabbit costume. If you like wonder and anarchy you may like North.

Why does everyone slam this movie?????I liked it!! What were the critics expecting? Oscar worthy stuff?? I mean, obviously it's not. But that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. That's one reason why I hate critics. They're mean. I only watched this movie because of Elijah Wood (I love him!!), and I wasn't expecting it to be that good, but I was surprised!! In a good way. So if you want to see this movie, don't listen to the critics!!! Use your own judgement, people. That's all.

By the way, about the swearing and stuff in the movie, is it reall that bad? I mean, as if kids who watch the movie don't use them already. Seriously people, just think about it!! It was a cute movie, let's leave it at that.
