Just what I expected

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

There have been better film versions of Dickens' classic novel 'Oliver Twist,' and while this adaptation may not be topping the bill, it is a film to be enjoyed. Richard Dreyfuss gives a brilliant character lead portrayal of Fagin that entertains and delights, and Elijah Wood gives a most endearingly wicked performance of everyone's favorite character the Artful Dodger. I would recommend it to anyone
Brave Sir Robin
Haven't read the book, but this movie was Naff. Elijah Wood was bloody horrible (has he ever even been in a decent movie apart from Lord of the Rings?). Richard Dreyfuss tried his best to have some fun, but this has gotta be the weakest of all his roles. My dad read the book and he said they changed everything around. There was way too much family mushiness.

I saw this movie on TV, so I am told that I did not see the better copy of it, but still, I greatly enjoyed it. It did stray somewhat from Dickens' original story, and it rather contradicted British law at the time the story was written (if you would like me to explain, you'll have to e-mail me, for it would be considered a spoiler if I wrote it here), but on the whole, it was very well done. The acting was good, and I was pleased to see that it had very little (if any) offensive material in it. It is a wonderful family movie.
Vale
One of my favorite film characters is Fagin, because if represents some of the human most illustrative sins: ambition, avarice, manipulation; but Richard Dreyfuss doesn't convince me with his characterization. More, the film is low, bored, and too long for the plot.
