Review: The Spiderwick Chronicles

Last night Jason and I got a movie from the Red Box. That is our usual date night because it's inexpensive and we get to spend time together doing something we enjoy.

I've been wanting to rent The Spiderwick Chronicles and finally we did. I've been acquainted with the young adult series for a few years but I have never read them. Now I will. The movie was delightful and scary too. I think the writers created a wonderful fantasy world parallel to the "real" one we are living in at the same time. The acting was great and I thought it was a good movie. I hope they do more but I think the ending of this movie was like book 5 or 6 but I don't know because I haven't read them. It's a great film for kids and it teaches some lessons and hardships that come from a family when they have parents separate for whatever reason. Thumbs up from me! I'll let you know how the novels go.
