I got bogged down in the beginning of this movie. The dialogue is, of course, the English used during the time period. There were moments when I got lost and struggled to keep track of what was going on and who was doing what. The acting by Day-Lewis is superb, however. Around the middle of the movie, I finally caught up and understood everything that was going on. This is strictly a historical picture with a lot of dialogue between politicians. Nonetheless, it is a good flick and a great history lesson.
My grandson begged me to take him to this movie so despite mediocre reviews by the critics, I honored his request. The movie in and of itself is certainly not as bad as I might have thought, but it is sad. It's a very touching, sweet movie, but we all were sobbing by the end of the story. Might not be a good pick for very sensitive children.
This is easily the worst children's cartoon movie I've ever seen. It is simply put NOT funny. I did not laugh at all during the entire thing. I took my 10 year old grandson and he didn't laugh either. The children I saw laughing were extremely young (6 or so). The premise is cute...teenage dracula reaching maturity, wanting to see world, over protective dad, but it just fell flat on its face. Folks, I would not waste a dime to see this one. We paid $20 to see it in 3D and the 3D affects weren't even good. Wait until it comes out for $1 at Redbox.
