Fan fiction no one wanted


Four Kids and It (2020)

Directed by Andy De Emmony this film based on the novel “Four Children and It” stars Teddie-Rose Malleson-Allen, Matthew Goode, Paula Patton and the voice of Michael Caine. Four children find a creature that can grant wishes.

Essentially this is professional fan fiction based on the “Five Children and It” book from 1902 and I am not sure the concept has aged that well. This version is pretty heavy handed even for being aimed at a young audience. Russell Brand's character in particular grates terribly as the comic relief that is just not funny.

2/5
