Replete with motorbike chases, explosions and some obligatory idiotic criminals, this beautifully shot film is effortlessly entertaining.

...is a quietly charming movie, for kids not too hyped on action and candy.

...pumpkin-faced Jones is awfully cute, McDormand and Hawthorne manage to maintain their dignity and the bold primary-color scheme captures some of the spirit of the book's illustrations.
