Took two 10yr old boys who had read all the books multiple times and almost completely memorized them... They gave the movie a 6 and the books a 9. They didn't like the movie to deviate from the books as much as it did. Personally I thought the movie definitely has its funny and educational moments but it somehow never really captures my full attention. I think I can count the number of times the whole theatre (and it was packed!) burst out laughing on one hand.
