| Empire MagazineHelen O'HaraWhilst missing a trick in terms of script and casting, at least they've amped up the action from the somewhat sedate book. |
| Times (UK)James ChristopherApart from some wooden over-acting, The Secret of Moonacre is a shrewd mix of live action and exotic animation by the Hungarian director Gabor Csupo. |
| Film4Saxon BullockIt's not quite a disaster but this disappointing and poorly executed fantasy adventure never reaches the level of magic and enchantment it needs to succeed. |
| Times (UK)Edward PorterRichards starred in 2007's The Golden Compass and, compared with big-budget fantasies of that kind, this smaller effort can't help looking mimsy, despite its good intentions. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterRoutine special effects merely add to the impression that this is a second division fantasy. |
| Metro (UK)Larushka Ivan-ZadehLuminescent and transporting, this is a fairy tale you'll want to live inside - just not one you'll want to sit through for 103 minutes. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA sweet if faintly soporific fantasy adventure for family audiences. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsIt's a slow-moving affair with wooden acting, duff special effects and some woefully unfunny comic moments from Tim Curry as an undersized chef. All in all, the thing's severely lacking in magic. |
