The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, a family film about the Loch Ness monster drew decent notices from critics. Laura Kern in the New York Times called it "family-friendly escapist fare that should enthrall, without insult, fantasy-minded viewers of any age." Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times regards it as one of the most "endearing recent family movies" and observes that the movie, "despite its fantasy, digs in with a real story about complex people and doesn't zone out with the idiotic cheerfulness of Alvin and his squeaky little friends." And Jessica Reaves in the Chicago Tribune describes it as "a sweet, familiar story, beautifully filmed and lovingly told." On the other hand, Kyle Smith in the New York Post concludes that "by trying to be charmingly old-fashioned, it overshoots the mark and winds up being as musty as grandma's lingerie drawer." |
