    • My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    Not quite for the under 10 set

    Very good film, and violence isn't overt, but burglar character is way too sinister, and the sexual overtones are a bit too rich for the 9 year old rating given here.

    Great story, great values and fun for kids and adults: good Christmas film

    This is a one of a kind fable set in modern times. The hero is the younger of two sons of a single father. All three are dealing with the recent loss of the mother, a topic which is handled with great sensitivity and, ultimately, hope. There is a mildly menacing villain but no actual violence and minimal suspense so it's probably not advisable for under age 8. It also rests on an undercurrent of christianity- the boy has semi-comical visions of saints, but it's not really a religious film. Avoid it only if that would really offend you- otherwise this film is a gem. It does take place at Christmastime and has strongly anti-commerical sentiments so a great choice for a movie to see with your kids the week before Christmas.

    not the best movie.

    bad movie. Don't waste your time. My six year old sister was curled up in my mom's lap crying. No humor either.

    A cute movie except for one scene that ruined it!!!

    Had alot going on, with younger brother seeing imaginary saints, the brothers trying to keep the money a secret and trying to spend it too. It was a cute movie except for one scene! The part that was very unnecessary and ruined it for our family is when the boys are shopping online and the older brother shows his brother a womens lingerie site and then they zoom up on the models nipples. I always wonder why they put stuff in like that. Do they do it for the Adults? I for one don't appreciate it! Luckily we watched with our kids and saw it coming and where able to fast forward so the kids did not see. It otherwise would have been a great movie that the kids could watch by themselves anytime. Everything else was PG rated, no cussing and no other sexual scenes.

    Our favorite Christmas movie!

    This movie is a little hard to understand at first because of the British accents, but it is well worth watching. The message regarding what giving means is well-done -- intelligently and creatively done. This movie is just quirky enough to really grab your attention. The whole family (ages 8 and above) enjoyed this movie and talked lots about it afterwords.

    a little wierd and scary

    Rented this based on all the good reviews.....the accents made it hard to understand, the plot was a little strange, and the bad guy sneaking into the little boys' room gave my 8 year old the heebie jeebies at night for over a month....had to have a light on when he went to bed so he could see if anyone came into his room. Just an okay family film.
