While the store wasn't quite as compelling as I'd hoped it could be-- and I admit I was going in with very, very high expectations-- the movie was definitely very well done. Certainly a film worth seeing, though I feel like they could have done a lot more with the plot and the acting felt a little stiff in parts (meaning the kid felt a little creepy at times).
It's always concerning when something from your childhood is updated like this-- so easy to think that they're going to just rip from it and not pay it proper respects-- but that's not the case with this film. It stayed true to the "feel" of the book, certainly, even though they stretched about ten sentences of a text into a two-hour movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
