This moobie was so sappy. Which is disappointing because the idea was really good. The script was cheesy and the editing didn't quite work. The characters made decisions strictly to move the story along, not because anything made any sense. It was so frustrating.
Again, it's disappointing because there was so much potential. Freddie Highmore is an awesome little actor. And his acting here is great, it's just too bad the story fell short.
Robin Williams was sorely miscast as the Fagan character. He hams it up being crazy and menacing. Keri Russell looks great but that's about it. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was pretty lame just like in everything else he's been in and his singing was horrible. Why do they let him sing?
I wouldn't bother with this one.
