The book is SO much better

This is an ok adaptation, but it skins over SO MUCH of the important parts. As an adult who has read the book and now watched this , I'd give it a three star rating. My kids liked it a lot so we met in the middle on this review.

Garbage rewrite

This is based on a beautifully written book and they rewrote characters and all kinds of stuff. It's so bad and not the book at all. My kids were so disappointed.

This movie strays heavily from the book

My kids and I read the book, and were very excited to watch the movie. No movie can ever be truly faithful to the book, but it was very disappointing. I don't think anything much other than character names and the basic premise of Luigi Lemoncello having a contest within a library remained the same. The movie on its own wasn't awful, but why even give it the same title as the book if it was going to completely disregard most of the source material from the book. Dracula, Frankenstein, pterodactyls, geese with ninja stars, and vengeful Hansel and Gretel with bows and arrows abound in this movie.

Nickelodeon flick

Kyle Keeley loves doing scavenger hunt competitions. He is one of the chosen kids by Mr. Lemoncello to do what is essentially an escape from his library. Twelve kids are brought in. A couple quits before it starts and one more is ejected right away.

This is a TV movie for Nickelodeon. There is limitations to the production and that is the problem. The story wants to be magical, but that takes a bigger budget. It tries to use some CGI. The set looks like a TV kids show. It is what it is. It's just that the kids aren't compelling enough and I don't recognize any of them. They're kids. It's just not that engaging.
