I'm not sure where all of the criticism of this movie is coming from! My wife and I watched and enjoyed every moment of this children's classic and didn't feel cheated in any way by the telling! The story is... Full review

I was prepared for almost anything going into this movie, knowing that so many filmmakers who adapt classic stories think it is their duty to "update" the story, or feel the need to add a lot of comic relief.Thankfully, Winick... Full review

With this movie made in part in my hometown (Williamstown) I dragged the kids along to check it out.Being well familiar with the story, I expected this to be pretty light hearted fair, but the wife still managed to turn... Full review

It's a beautiful movie and wonderfully true to the book. A fan of EB White's brilliant work, I could recite the last lines alongside the movie. The friend I went with is a die-hard fan of the older, animated Charlotte's... Full review

I attended an advanced screening recently in Nashville, TN. I loved John Cleese as the sheep. Steve Buscemi was perfect as Templeton. Thomas Haden Church is so funny. He played his crow like Lowell Mather from "Wings". This guy can... Full review

It's cute, funny and the animals are gorgeous, but I can't help wishing that the filmmakers of Charlotte's Web had not opted to make this new adaptation a live action film. Charlotte's kindness as she dances her rituals and spins her webs to make the farmer think Wilbur is special, does more than that. ... Full Review

Boasting impressive effects work and a superb cast, this is a treat for kids, but adults may find it a little slow in places. However, the voice cast are uniformly excellent, with Buscemi probably the stand-out (his scenes deliver some much-needed laughs). ... Full Review
