| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerThe result is quite wonderful, a funny and affecting family confection. Only time will tell, but it may even be a classic. It's that good. |

| CNNRadioPaul ChambersThe kind of movie that I would have loved to seen as a kid. Magical stuff. I look forward to the sequel. Paul Chambers, CNN. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersIn fact, this tale is so fun, frothy and frivolously fabulous I'm sure I haven't stopped smiling ever since I got out of the press screening over two weeks ago. |
