Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This documentary playfully recounts the journey of Norton Juster's classic novel, beginning with the friendship and collaboration of two young hip Brooklyn housemates--juster and Jules Feiffer, both from the Jewish immigrant world of the outer boroughs of new york city. With a Juster-like whimsical touch, the film looks at the book's creation, its reception, and its emergence as a classic, showing how it has touched the lives of generations of readers. The film interweaves multiple voices –the voices of its creators and of others who have been moved by them and their work—It gestures at the many allegorical meanings of a book that is—brilliantly illuminating, inimitable and--as we will hear in the film --"hard to summarize"
