Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
minavsimonovic Great movie! Firstly, I thought that this film is not something spevial. but, when I started to watch, I change my opinion. This film is so sweet, adorable... It is worth to watch.
Python Hyena Charlotte's Web (2006): Dir: Gary Winick / Cast: Dakota Fanning / Voices: Julia Roberts, Steve Buscemi, Oprah Winfrey, John Cleese: Based on the best selling book for children. It regards the revealing of talent within others as Fern saves a little runt pig from slaughter. She names him Wilbur and he grows up in a barn across the road where his life is again under threat until a gifted spider named Charlotte spins messages within her web that give reason for Wilbur to exist. Directed by Gary Winick with tremendous special effects. This is quite different from his usual fare, which includes romantic comedies like 13 Going on 30. Unfortunately the human characters are under developed with the exception of Dakota Fanning as Fern who seems three dimensional. Animal personalities aren't much better but two do stand out. Julia Roberts voices the resourceful Charlotte whose web spins a future for Wilbur. Templeton the rat is voiced by Steve Buscemi with nice comic touches. Other animal characters are your usual array of barn animals that fail to elevate above conventions, but they are voiced by talented performers. Fun for children who enjoyed the book. Strong message regarding friendship and the value of life and how everyone is valuable to somebody. It celebrates talents and gifts just as Charlotte exposed Wilbur's worth through simple words. Score: 9 ½ / 10
nikkiboulter When I was five this movie broke my heart. The movie itself was great, but my revelation afterward was devastating. The cat that I loved with all of my little heart had died about a month before I watched it, but I didn't understand what had happened to him. That was, until I saw what happened to the spider. By the time I was home, I was a blubbering mess. Dad just handed me to Mom because he couldn't figure out how to handle me. I finally cried myself to sleep about two hours later. My opinion on the movie is permanently stained by the heartbreak of loosing my beloved cat. Despite that, it was a great movie.
TheLittleSongbird As much as I like the animated film, I do think this is better, only by one point though. Based on the timeless book by EB White, this is a warm, nicely done and cute film. The book is better, but this is so charming, you can't help like it. The real charm comes from the story, which here is so well told. The film is beautifully shot with lovely photography and stunning locations, and the music is gorgeous. Of course the script isn't as sharp as it could have been, but that is a minor criticism compared to how wonderful this was. Dakota Fanning gets better and better every time I see her, what a very talented child actress she is! Wilbur was just adorable, even more adorable than he was in the animated film. And the voice acting is top notch, Julia Roberts being the biggest surprise in a very warm vocal performance as Charlotte. John Cleese and Thomas Haden Church are sterling in their roles as the sheep and the crow, but other than Roberts, the real standout is Steve Buschemi as the hilarious Templeton. All in all, lovely to watch, definitely memorable and cute, not as good as the book, but well worth the watch. 9/10 Bethany Cox
