Plot Summary: Mortimer "Mo" Folchart and his 12-year-old daughter, Meggie, share an extraordinary gift for bringing characters from books to life when they read aloud. But there is a danger: when a character is brought to life from a book, a real person disappears into its pages. On one of their trips to a secondhand book shop, Mo locates a book he's been searching for since Meggie was three years old, when her mother, Resa, vanished into its mystical world. But Mo's plan to use the book to find and rescue Resa is thwarted when Capricorn, the evil villain of Inkheart, kidnaps Meggie and, discovering she has inherited her father's gift, demands that she bring to life his most powerful ally, the Shadow. Determined to rescue his daughter and send the fictional characters back where they belong, Mo assembles a small group of friends and family--some from the real world, some from the pages of books--and embarks on a daring and perilous journey to set things right.

I don't think I ever finished this book. Interesting story, but I didn't think it was written well (youth fiction book) but I did really like the story.

Grandkids (7 and 10) really liked it. The wife and I enjoyed it. Not great, a little choppy, but good visuals and we both like Brendan Fraser. If you've got sub-teen kids, it's a good one to see, otherwise, catch it on DVD (but DO catch it). Decent film, 3 out of 5 stars.


And again, Rotten Tomatoes can KMA.

After 2 craptastic Mummy sequels (the third which I refuse to see) and other stinkers like George of the Jungle, I pretty much avoid any movie that Frazier is in.
