We saw this recently and enjoyed it -- I thought the ending was weak though, it tied things up too neatly.

I like this tendency towards what I suppose is \'magic realism\' in films, fantasy set in recent times. Another example is \'Oh Brother Where Art Thou\'.

I thought I\'d try something out from the film, so when I walked my nephew to school recently and he noticed a spider I said, \"when I was a boy I saw a spider as big as that car!\" He looked at me and said, \"Nah.\" Kids, eh.
