The Indian In The Cupboard" is probably best suited as a family film, and I don't mean that in the "it's a tepid kids' movie" sense. The photo gallery includes around 18 stills, featuring some nice behind-the-scenes and special effects shots. ... Full Review

The illusion of the movie is magical, bringing together a wistful school boy and miniature warrior in delightful detail. Though a solid film for children, anyone that likes a good story will be satisfied. ... Full Review

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. Scardino, who was first seen in "Searching for Bobby Fischer," gives a gentle, natural performance, and his expressive eyes register confusion, wonder and fun as he reacts to the clever but never overwhelming special effects. ...
