The Thief Lord Movie

Title: The Thief Lord

Rated: PG for langauge and thematic elements

Description: Mystical, magical and completely enchanting, this epic tale in the tradition of the Harry Potter series brings the beloved characters of prize-winning novelist Cornelia Funke to dazzling life. After their mother dies, two boys flee their mean aunt and head for Venice, Italy, where they meet Scipio, the mysterious, "Thief lord." Along with a small band of abandoned kids who cal an old movie theater home, the boys join Scipio's world of robbing the rich to support themselves. Soon, then win the heart of a detective hired to track them, and begin an adventure that leads them to an old merry-go-round believed to have special powers. Featuring Vanessa Redgrave and a captivating supporting cast, The Thief Lord will steal your heart of the beginning to end.

I don't think that they changed a lot from the book. The acting was really good, and the little boy who played Bo is just the most adorable 6-year-old I have ever seen!I think they could have done a little better on the make-belief stuff. Like when Scipio turns into adult, that's not exactly what I would have thought of him to look like. Some people may think differently.

But still I think if people like the book, they should watch the movie, but make sure you read the book first! :)

Their is a little bit of language.
