The Man from the Moon (2010)
Fun fantasy film for kids of any age.
This was recommended to me by a friend of mine, and I'm glad I watched it. It's a really fun fantasy film and there is more to it than I expected... A lot happens in only 20 minutes - and it holds your attention. It's a good mix of imagination and reality. I think the director did a great job of balancing the two, while establishing solid relationships between all the characters. In style and feel, it was reminiscent of films like Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Like those films, The Man from the Moon has a very real story at the heart of it, which is surrounded by fantasy and wonder, albeit dark at times. It's a poignant mix, but very well done. And it had some really good laughs, too! Overall, it's definitely worth a watch by both kids and adults.
