I didn't know much about Hugo before I took my family to see it last Friday. The promos made it look interesting, but were kind of hard to follow.
Now that I have seen it, I am among those referring to it as "an instant classic." The story, the acting, the sets, the clips from several of Melier's films--captivated me for the entire length of the film.
It has been a long time since I enjoyed a G movie so much!
