| User ReviewSwiss MThis is the film version of a novel written by a 9 yr old girl in England about 100 years ago. It has never been out of print. It is hilarious, grammatical errors included. |
| User ReviewShannon Nimpressive story written by a nine year old....tried to find the book in the public library but was unsuccessful. |
| User ReviewStacey SFantastically fun flick! And sweet, too. Surprise find while trawling Netflix, very glad I stumbled across it! |
| User ReviewSooty M"Young Visiters" is one of the most charming films I have discovered over the last few years, because of its uniqueness: it is based on a novel that was written in 1919 by an eight-year-old girl, with her eight-year old's view of the world, and it deliberately treats its source as authoritative, without trying to correct any of its naivete (or its spelling errors, as the title indicates.) With such great actors as Jim Broadbent as the main character, Alfred Salteena, Bill Nighy or Hugh Laurie, this is truly an excellent film, which might become a Christmas classic. |
| User ReviewSarah RSilly and whimsical, but I thought it was cute. |
