Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, ). I suppose Roald Dahl is difficult to adapt to film, and requires a lot of quirky, bold style. This movie has no style whatsoever, quirky or otherwise, and barely manages to get the story on screen without being too annoying. Minus a point or two for the nonsensical ending.
