One of the best movies of 2009
Added 11/25/2009
Sometimes, the timing of a movie's release is more important to its success than the movie's content itself. This may help explain the success, or lack there-of, of this movie. Released in early 2009, it quickly fell of the big theater chains and ended up in the cheap matinees. It received zero Academy Award nominations, and barely registered a blip when released on DVD. How so? The movie has an innovative plot, features a large cast of good actors and actresses, has both male and female leads and supporting roles, has good special effects, and is appropriate for almost all age groups.

A good light hearted movie. Would have madea better TV series.
Added 11/18/2009
I would recommand this movie to anyone that is in need of a good light hearted story. Performances from all actors are fantastic. Helen Mirren and Paul Bettany steal every scene they`re in. The story however feels all over the place. As other reviwers have mention, "Inkheart" had all the makings for great movie, a very talented cast, a good concept, set designs,and effects. The list could relly go on, but the story of "Inkheart" could have used more time to tell it`s story, rather than a mere 100 mins.
I will admit if it was not for this movie I would have never heard of Cornelia Funke or her books.
I just started reading the original book and I can honestly say this would been a great mini-series or an actural tv series. Saying that, if any network decided to do a series for Inkheart, I `d pity the actor filling the shoes of Dustfinger after Mr. Bettany `s performance.

Wonderful family movie
Added 11/7/2009
What an incredible movie! Parents, kids, aunts, uncles, grandparents... we all enjoyed it. In fact, it started us on an adventure of reading, especially of Cornelia Funke's books. Hope they make the whole trilogy into movies.
Highly recommend any audio book versions that Brendan Frasier reads. He is truly versatile, with an amazing repertoire of voices and accents.

Really, what do you expect?
Added 10/26/2009
The child liked it. The mom and the dad (me) enjoyed making fun of it. It was everything that I expected.
It is hard to imagine the plot of the movie having been put together by a functional adult. My only question is whether the story's dreadfulness was due to the book or the adaptation.
