The movie was awesome. They took a few more liberties with the actual book than the first movie & I wish they would be more careful about that in the future. However, it is consistent with C.S, Lewis' thought so I'm OK with that part of things. I was on the edge of my seat practically the entire time.
I liked the movie, but then I would probably like any movie which starred Patrick Dempsey. It isn't better than Enchanted, and I wouldn't buy the dvd, but if you're looking for a sweet, simple little love story and you like Patrick, then by all means go see it so he will continue to make more movies for us to enjoy.
