80Well-acted, briskly paced and prettily photographed, the film is a mild-mannered family story with a caring heart, and that's ultimately enough to make its 104 minutes worthwhile.
-
60Avoids succumbing to the preachiness that is the bane of so many family films, and for a movie like this, that's no small feat.

It may be a hard sell to the Gameboy generation, but The Basket has charms that may be more evident to adults.
-
33A contrived and sentimental melodrama, the film takes a promising premise and crushes it with mind-numbing repetition, sophomoric conveniences, plastic acting and the worst score, perhaps, ever heard.
