For me this film was a mixed bag. It was cute on many levels and my kids seemed to enjoy it. That said... I don't get why it needed to be that dark (and I LOVE dark movies). I was more than a little surprised at the amount of violence against and by children. I firmly subscribe to the Carline-eque notion that if your best argument is "what about the children" you don't have much of an argument. However, this is a movie aimed at families and kids. I can't remember another movie where the message is that maybe you'll get magical powers to punish an adult and maybe someone will come along that will replace your awful family.
