"I prefer a story that is the good sense to remain on the page - where it belongs! "Declares Loredan Elinor (Helen Mirren, in fine form upper crust) in Inkheart, a pleasant adventure that appeals to both adults and Tween and teens. But as Elinor got what they wanted, not the viewers - for the delicious premise of the film ( based on Cornelia Funke's best-selling novel is the book lover Folchart Mo (Brendan Fraser) is a way to book characters life. That means that adorable Toto from The Wizard of Oz is suddenly yapping under Mo's daughter's Meggie (Eliza Bennett) bed. But it also means that somewhere, a real person or thing was sucked into the book world - the fight flying monkeys and wrong that suddenly are real threats. The film is crisply directed by Iain Softley and Fraser and his costars (including Mirren, Paul Bettany and Jim Broadbent) deserve watchable characters that seem to be as much fun as the audience. And the film pro-book message please young readers and their parents, who know that a good adventure in one's imagination can never be rivaled by everything on a screen of any size.
