Gangsta Granny (2013)
Poor
My daughter, who is 7 enjoyed the film, although did'nt quite get some of it. I love Miranda hart so enjoyed her performance as Ben's mother. Julia Mcenzie is also fab as granny but the screen play is poor. Granny ''pretends' to have been an international jewel thief in her past in order to change Ben's view of her as a boring old woman. Very strange to have a subsequent scene where Ben catches her attempting to steal jewellery through the window of a shop. Granny later admits that she had made the story up (so why were you seen trying to rob a jewellers???) In the end her biscuit tin of gems is given to a charity shop and was found to be worth a fortune....ah so it was true!. Not very funny, not very clever and when my daughter asked for the book I refused. David Walliams has somehow made millions from these awful Roald dahl rip off books and if an unknown author had been behind it I doubt it would have been made into a film.
Little Princess (2006)
Much loved Childrens Classic with fantastic cast
Brilliant animation. Gobsmacked by some of these reviews. If you are familiar with young children and can relate to their view of the world you will find this hilarious and recognise all of the challenging scenarios and reactions of the young princess, who can be quite a handful but is ultimately adorable! Brilliantly and hilariously voiced by our amazing Jane Horrocks. I could not imagine any other dubbed version coming close to the performances of this talented british line up.My ChIldren have all loved it over the years and my 5 year old has just discovered it and laughs out loud throughout. Julian Clary is a wonderful narrator and it's a joy for young and old. Of course the characters are exaggerated and larger than life, it's a cartoon!!!?
