Skip it. This is a forgettable British fantasy that tries too hard to be whimsical without earning any real magic—it's the kind of film that disappears from your memory before the credits roll. The premise has potential, but the execution lands somewhere between a made-for-TV movie and a fairytale that forgot to be enchanting.

Plot

When 13 year old Maria Merryweather's father dies, leaving her orphaned and homeless, she is forced to leave her luxurious London life to go and live with Sir Benjamin, an eccentric uncle she didn't know she had, at the mysterious Moonacre Manor.

Director: Gábor Csupó
