It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

I'll tell you why so serious

Absolutely Fantastic

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Unfortunately i think neil patrick harris was miscast here, he just looks like a young guy in make up and it loses the believability and becomes like a cartoon. He doesn't walk or even talk like an older person that he is playing.

Love this series with my 6 and 4 year old. Keeps all of us entertained. I sometimes want to press pause to see all the details of the sets they have. And NPH is amazing.

In our family, we have several elementary, middle and high school language arts teachers. I read each book with our children years ago and now adults, we have watched the series together. While the actors are enjoyable, the children terrific, and the overall plot is true to the books, the addition of innuendos and PC content dissuades me from recommending the second season to my students. Shame that the writers saw it necessary to change even a word.

I made it to season 2 episode 2 and I can't watch anymore. Lets start with the acting, overall very good but It sometimes felt as if the person behind the camera was telling them to act so over the top that they are no humans anymore. This can work as the show is clearly go for over the top character but when "over the top" is there only character trait it kind of lose the personality of the character a little. The cinematography and editing was awesome in the show, the way a place the angle of the camera. It never over does the editing technique and work with the films visuals.So on to the biggest problem with the film is how boring it is, the idea of a secret organisations through teenage/children eyes is cool but every episode is the same. Children get moved, Olaf finds them and watch disguise, they find out, show it to be Olaf and move to the next place. Yes, you do start to learn a few thing here and there but in the first 8 episode (season 1) you hardly anything but the end of it. In 10 episode I don't know why Olaf want them, just money but There a another family with money that he gets so? The story really lets the show down and I have a feeling that this is because of the amount of episode that they have to fill, 8 episode in season 1 and10 episode in season 2.
