Omri locks the Indian in the chest with an old key given to him by his mother (Lindsay Crouse, hiding her formidable talent behind a vapid smile). Indian" has spectacular special effects to fall back on, but that's not enough to save it. ... Full Review

A GREAT BIG-HEARTED movie about a teeny-tiny little fella, "The Indian in the Cupboard" is a faithful, clever adaptation of Lynne Reid Banks's award-winning children's book.
