Summary: a heart warming movie
Review: seening this movie make me put on a happy heart the whole day,the movie was heart warming as it teach the value for the child to cherish family ties.the effect was excellent,just don't believe the small cute mouse is a computer graphic.just one thing I do not understand,how on earth can mouse talk and able to relate,reaponsed to human,to able to interact seamlessly and ...well perhaps I should stop after all this is a movie made to entertain and bring forth a smile on your face especially so for a kid.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: cute movie,but unrealistic
Review: a really good kid's movie.get this for your kids age 1-5.no older than that,because the movie was just a whole fairy tale because none of the people were even surprised that stuart little could talk.good cast. Geena Davis as the mom,Michael J Fox,and i think i recognized Jennifer Tilly's voice as Stuart's fake mom.so this is an okay movie

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Frustrating...
Review: I don't know what is all the fuss about this movie. Obviously they tried to capture all our hearts with this non-sense about a little orphan mouse (yeah right! ) and the really absurd family that adopts him. I think that they should've taken it straight to video and never let people spend $8 for a movie ticket to sleep over it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Adoption message
Review: This is a fun, wholesome movie. It also provides a starting point for discussing adoption with children. Even if children aren't adopted, they will certainly meet others who are. This movie presents adoption in a positive light, an attitude which I believe even young children can begin to emulate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A real Child stopper
Review: My kids love this movie and I anticpate I put this on for them while I cook and they will be glued to the tube. As an adult I loved this film The Graphics were great and very realistic. It had drama, it had action and I just loved snowball. You should at least buy this one for the kids.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: stuart is just so cute
Review: My friends and I saw it in the theaters...the day it opened (yes, we are in our 30s). We loved it. Why? Because Stuart is just the cutest little thing. It's got the charm of Babe, without the story line...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Something is wrong with his review..
Review: First and foremost, this is a show that's meant to be enjoyable, simple and fun and not to invoke deep thinking about why would the parents adopt a mouse when they have a boy.. Hello.. if we are to take things so logically and seriously all the time, why in the first place is this mouse talking? Some times I think a movie does not need to give a reason why-is-what but rather just tell it's story and if it flows well and is enjoyable, we have a winner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Exuberant Eye Catcher
Review: I was afraid that my 2 year old would run all over the theatre. Boy, I was Wrong. She laughed just like she understood everything. The animation was superb as well as the screen play. The whole family enjoyed and I would watch it more than once.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Something's wrong with that rodent.
Review: The mouse is nice, the human actors mostly compassionate and beam all the time, it's a nice kiddie production - why not just relax and exit a movie theater with a big happy grin?

As my 7-year old son said -"If a few more scenes were added the film is worth a DVD issue." -

That's right. We are plunged into the movie. No explanations. No motives are outlined. Why that seemingly sane couple who already have a cute little boy decided to adopt a rodent?

Previous footage of the son playing alone in his room while the parents attend to their professional duties could help but there is no such footage.

And when you are shown elaborate Western town set, boat and many other hand-made objects that speak of hundreds hours the dad spends with his son sharing the joy of creativity the question is do they need someone else? And need him so bad that on the adoption day the boy boorsts into the parental bedroon frantic with expectation, eager to share his playroom, toys and the father's attention with a stranger. That does not ring true.

Yes, it's a fairy tale, but there is nothing magical about the discrepansies of the film - and it has many. The script lacks integrity and all too often offends the common sense. I was not surprised to see that Shayamalan person of Sixth Sense fame as a co-writer. That explains a lot.

Being so much fascinated with neurotics Mr.Shayamalan just could not make Stuart a joyful little cutie. The mouse suffers from some kind of guilty conscience and trying too hard to please everyone. Every time he fails to do so the mouse succumbs to depresion. It's supposed to make him look more complex and alive, more sophisticated than the other mouse of American cinema. Also much less likable.

There are 52 weekends in a year, and we all like to take our kids to the movies so you'll certainly see that movie too - it's a mega-budget production of a major studio, it's very unlikely to be a 100% flop. But something's amiss.

Magic, perhaps.

Rating: 5 stars
