The Tale of Despereaux

Oh man, I really wanted to like this one.

Somewhere along the way I heard a review of the book that said it was great. And one of the previews must have caught my eye...

zzzzzzz....

I had trouble staying awake through it. When I looked over at my nephews, they were leaning against each other, head to head (so cute) - fast asleep. JJ, who was sitting next to me, drifted off too - but Denise elbowed him and helped him to keep awake.

It was just too slow. The kids we were there with were 10 and 12, but I wonder if younger kids would have been able to focus on it. I'm not sure if it's even rental worthy. If you're looking for a movie with rats and soup - try Ratatouille.
