When I saw the first trailer from "Inkheart", I thought that it was going to be a dumb fantasy film just like that unfunny comedy with Adam Sandler, "Bedtime Stories". And also, it was directed by Ian Softley, the director of the atrocious drama "K-Pax". Fortunately, "Inkheart" was a quite enjoyable fantasy, with an interesting premise and likable (if not very original characters) While the performances and the visual aspect of this movie are just adequate, it's the funny and charming story that makes this work. I must confess that I've never read the original "Inkheart" books by Cornelia Funke, but this made me interested into reading them.
I give this movie eight stars because it was pretty funny to watch.
