    The visuals are irrepressibly witty and so is the script, which morphs from the classic fable into a spoof on "War of the Worlds." I prefer this version to Spielberg's.

    A consistently amusing, often inspired family romp.

    There's more here for the under-tens than over-, but it's still charming, amusing and energetic enough to win you over.

    Kids will love it. It feels fresh and original and mildly subversive, but it's all a cover for the filmmakers not having the patience or confidence to put together a real story with a beginning, middle and end.
