The Spiderwick Chronicles

The Guardian
A run-of-the-mill fantasy adventure, based on a bestselling series of children's books. Britain's Freddy Highmore assumes an American accent to play twins, Jared and Simon. Along with an older teen sister and an embattled, soon-to-be-divorced mom, they go to live in a creepy old house in the country. There they discover a secret book belonging to the former master of the house who wrote it 80 years before, a book holds the clue to the hobgoblins and weird creatures that besiege the place, and which pop up in CGI form alongside the live-action stars. It canters along without engaging the audience particularly, except for one good twist at the end when the errant dad shows up. Moderate stuff.
