Summary: horrible at best
Review: I was very disappointed while watching this movie. This movie is not at all like the Borrowers written by Mary Norton. They took a classic and chopped it up. The writer of this movie could not have read the original books. Tne BBC's version of the movie is much, much, much better.

Summary: The world of little people... The Borrowers
Review: If you want to watch something original but still interesting, watch this show. This is the movie of "The Borrowers". If you haven't read the books yet, go grab them too! I have known about the Borrowers when I was a kid after reading "The Borrowers" by Mary Norton. When "The Borrowers" movie was about to be aired, I was really excited. It turned out to be really entertaining and funny. The movie also has exciting parts where the Borrowers were escaping from human 'beans'. You would pray with all your heart that they would not be caught. The movie was not really like the story, I mean the story in print. The Borrowers in the movie looked more modern and their dressing was pretty weird too. Enjoy if you gonna watch this movie of little people. Remember to put yourself in their shoes and you'll enjoy the movie more!

Summary: the borrowers
Review: It was wonderful to watch. The cars - Morris Minors - were wonderful, as we also have one. John Goodman makes a great villan and is really fun to watch. The special effects were great.
Rating:
Summary: John Goodman is in top form!
Review: John Goodman always has a way of making me laugh. Seeing him abused and tortured by little people is too much!!! He brilliantly portrays Ocius P. Potter in this adaptation of the classic children's series of books. Quirky, quaint and tons of fun for the whole family, this should be on everyone's video shelf.

Summary: For kids only
Review: The movie is very loosely based upon a book by Mary Norton about the Clock family, small people (about six inches tall) who live underneath the floorboards of a house, surviving by borrowing things from humans "beans". When they are discovered, they are forced to move.
I was very disappointed with this movie. The only way to enjoy this film is if you haven't read the books. The acting was good, if over the top, but that was the kind of acting needed in a film like this, which seemed to be a combination of "Home Alone" and "Mouse Hunt". But the direction was very odd. The movie seemed to be set in the 1950's, yet characters in the movie used a remote for the (black and white) TV and a cellular phone. The costuming was also odd. Yes, they had to make do with what they could "borrow" to make clothes, but their outfits, and the really odd hairdos, made them look like creatures from another planet. Also, have the cast was British and half was American, which added to the confusion about what world the movie was set in.
On the other hand, the special effects were quite good. The best part of the DVD is the sequence that shows how the special effects were done. It was very interesting, but it used too many clips from the movie and not enough clips of how they did the special affects. There are also interviews with the cast, with the exception of John Goodman.
Little kids will like this movie, but adults should stay away.

Summary: Not the Borrowers, but...
Review: The only way to enjoy this film is if you haven't read the wonderful books by Mary Norton. The characters share the size, but few of the memorable traits of Pod, Homily, and Arrietty, the wonderful family that lives under the kitchen. This adaptation is more of a cross between MOUSE HUNT, HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS, and HOME ALONE than anything in THE BORROWERS books. I was very disappointed, and could not get involved in the story. For little kids only, although you should really read them the books and skip the film.
