Editorial Review

There's a war goin' on in this bit o' blarney, but it's more than the feud between the fairies and the leprechauns, upon which most of the overwrought tale hangs. It's also a struggle between competing, derivative story lines in this bloated, plodding film that can't decide what it wants to be. It's part Read more

Nice story
This movie was a mix of fantasy and reality. Perhaps more violence than I would want my 3 year old granddaughter to see, although most fairy tales do use the same themes. It was a fun departure from more adult themes.The settings were well done and the moral lesson a good one.

Splendid movie.. next trip... IRELAND!! ;)
Faeries vs leprechauns.. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEE!!.
A VERY ENLIGHTENING,MARVELOUS MOVIE!
Ireland is breathtaking.The special affects are great and so is the entire movie.It's hard to find that special actor/actress that fits perfectly for every part in a movie but it seems to have been accomplished with this one.I adored the movie.It is in no way boring and lifts your spirits.A new twist to Romeo and Juliet.Since Green is my favorite color.....all of it in this movie just added to my pleasure.It makes you want to go to Ireland just by seeing all the country side and all of Irelands magicalness.The Leprechauns are simply darling .The costumes are great.A super movie and story line.Not being a Randy Quaid and Whoopi Goldberg fan,I must admit they both do a splendid job. I love fantasys and this is a must for anyone that does too. ... Read more

Watch it!It's great!
Wonderful sequel to The Borrowers.It's true that it doesn't stick faithfully to Mary Norton's books, but it's still close enough to make the movie interesting and delightful to watch.The actors are all fabulous especially Rebecca Callard as Arrietty and Daniel Newman as Spiller (wonder what they are doing now and what else they've done?).Highly recommended for both adults and kids; you will not be bored.The only problem is the quality of the tape really really sucks - which is really too bad.I truly hope they will come out with a DVD version soon.

I must say that the Return of the Borrowers was not as charming and entertaining as the original one. Overall it was still worth watching. The main thing that I was upset by is the script didn't stick closely enough to the original books it was suppose to be based on. I know it can be pretty hard trying to cram 2 or 3 books into one movie but I think with a little more imagination it could have been done better.

the second borrrowers is a fantastic movie not quite as good as the first one but still good.the same great actors and actress starbut there are some new stars.if you watched the first one you have to watch the second one it is so great!!!!! ... Read more

It needs to be on Zone I DVD PLEASE!!
The British version of this delightful series is far better than the American re-make (even though I like John Goodman).As previously noted , we could do with out the narratives by boring Mr. Lewis ( Gerard Butler would make a much better narrator),
Amazing adaptation - shoddy tape.
The BBC adaptation is fantastic, with beautiful performances, production quality, and an unerring faithfulness to the book in spirit, word, and deed.If only the tape were as good.Turner Video's done the shoddy trick of putting this three-hour production on a single tape by "recording" it in EP/SLP.As a result, the picture quality, while watchable, leaves a lot to be desired, and the durability of the tape is questionable. I've owned a copy for only a few years, and it's already got rainbowing deterioration.

Good, solid Nessie movie
Funny.I find a lot of nice little films by just being my lazy self and watching TV.Awesome.So I ended up surfing around and came upon......LOCH NESS!Now I'm a fan of anything with monsters in it, big, small, fat, stupid, smart ect.I also think Danson is a great actor.So when I saw this I decided to watch it.It was actually pretty good.Now I came in about 10 minutes into the movie and had no idea who directed it.I was pretty surprised I was entertained.I liked the twist on it, they don't portray Nessie as most movies would, i.e. a giant monster eating everything in sight.

This is what I call a guilty pleasure film. It's not the best thing ever made, nor will it ever be noted as a "must see" film.

Nice, lighthearted movie, beautiful scenery , interesting twists on the existance of the monster. ... Read more

I love this movie!!!
This movie is very romantic and sweet. It is very entertaining and has a lot of cute lines thrown in that make you think. I am going to buy this movie and probably watch it all the time. There must have been some attraction between the fairy and leprechaun in real life b/c their chemistry on screen is so sincere and beautiful!! This movie is kind of long but it is worth it!! It's wonderful!!! ... Read more
