what a waste

I took my kids to see this film. total film buffs the pair of them. aged 7 n 8. they got up three times to go the loo. as there was more interesting stuff going on in there than in the film. I sat waiting for the exciting bit to happen only it never did. Love Jodie foster in all her films except this one. save ya money
it was.....dissappointing. not very good. it has a cruddy story line and is way to short for a film like this. but other people may like it as this is not my type of film. i would advise you to buy it on dvd and then watch it. also it contained the word shi* and the word blood y. so shouldve been a pg but it did worn u. overall. bad
Surprisingly good

Surprisingly good family film - great fun, with some unexpected touches and great flashes of humour. Good all round.
Adventure comedy based on the true story of four Scottish students who, in 1951, removed the Stone of Scone from Westminster Abby to return it to its original home.
