Charming and sweet

Not entirely captivating by all means, but very sweet and charming. While the story has some weak spots and the screenplay superficial at times, what saves it is how it is filmed and acted and how it keeps to the spirit of the picture books. I for one loved how it was filmed; I wasn't expecting another Wizard of Oz or Secret Garden, but the film is very nicely shot, with some dark serious tones but I particularly loved the shots of the Parisian skies. The music is beautiful as well and has a certain liveliness to it. The acting is very good; Hattie Jones has a very likable spunk and with her cute appearance the camera clearly loves her. Frances McDormond is perfectly cast as Miss Clavel, staying true to her character. Nigel Hawthorne is given less to do, but he does well with what he is given as Lord Covington(or Lord Cukooface as the girls call him). Overall, this is a charming and I think underrated film. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Anecdotes
After this movie, Hatty Jones had auditioned for the role of Hermione Granger for Harry Potter à l'école des sorciers (2001). She and Emma Watson were down to the final two, and the role went to Watson since Jones was considered too old.

Gaffes
Madeline stands up on her hospital bed to show off her appendectomy scar. Her IV line is very short, so standing would be very difficult, if not impossible.
