Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Brims with storytelling flourishes and gently deployed life lessons that even accompanying adults may dig.
Fresh: As kids' films go, it's a thoughtful, superior piece of work, an entertaining picture that youngsters can enjoy on first viewing and perhaps fully grow into as they get a bit older.
Fresh: A dense yarn with a range of humor, imagination and emotions as wide as the desert floor upon which it is set.
Rotten: [Sachar's] sprawling, shaggy-dog story snaps together as neatly on film as in print, but its artificial design is glaringly exposed.
