Who’s in it: Freddie Highmore, Mia Farrow, voices of Madonna, Jimmy Fallon, Robert De Niro, David Bowie
What it’s about: Arthur (Highmore) is shrunken and injected into the kingdom of the Minimoys, tiny creatures who live beneath his grandma’s (Farrow) garden. There he befriends a princess (Madonna) and her bratty brother (Fallon), becomes a warrior for the Minimoy king (De Niro) and leads the fight against an evil lord (Bowie).
Worth watching? (star)(star)
“The film’s underground scenes are so busy that it’s almost impossible to follow the story or focus on the characters. The results are more wearying than exciting. Only Bowie’s bad guy really grabs our interest.”
