Does not capture the book - Inkheart review by CP Customer
This film stands alone as a good family adventure if not a little dark. However it does not manage to capture the feeling or full spirit the author created on the written page. Brenden fraiser is miscast as the father and this together with a chopped about story means dissapointment for fans of the Book.

Sunday afternoon dvd - Inkheart review by CP Customer
This is a sunday afternoon dvd -good to watch on dark autumn afternoons when it is wet and windy outside
One for the family althouigh Brendan Fraser should stick to the Mummy series-he never really get going.
The kids will love this picture-the parents will have to grin and bear it

Not great, - Inkheart review by AB
A good story theory but in practice this film is quite boring - too many bits and pieces to make it a whole - Helen Mirren tries her hardest to be amusing and light-hearted to bring a counter to the dark side but there is nothing really going for the film. With a wealth of literature available, more could have been made of characters but in reality, nothing came of anything here, with even the denouement being too twee to be believable. Probably aimed at 8 year olds and even then being a limited type of audience
