The Water Horse

My review of the movie The Water Horse is now live over at RevolutionSF. So what did I think of it?
The Water Horse is one of those rare surprises that crops up at the local cineplex from time to time: A movie that turns out to be far better than all the studio marketing and promotion tells you it has any right to be. Is it a great movie? Certainly not. But it's a well-made children's film with nary a fart joke in sight, with enough gravity and craft to keep the adults not only awake, but also engaged.

There's more at the other end of the link, but I think that goes without saying, right?
