    A harmless caper that ought to thrill girls under 12, and offer modest diversion to their parents.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    Writer Deborah Dean Davis and director Andy Tennant are fully aware of the absolute predictability of their material and therefore make the getting to an inevitable ending as much fun as possible.

    Childhood favourite and a classic!

  • Jennifer D
