I saw this at a preview and really enjoyed this movie. It's a wonderful take on the common theme of accepting who you are, not what you are.
Although aimed at tweens/teens, it has elements which also makes this entertaining for adults. It has great visual appeal, slapstick humor as well as clever writing throughout.
This movie deserves to be successful and it's best promotional vehicle will be word of mouth.
It is well cast and Cristina Ricci, as the main character, is instantly engaging.
A fun movie for all !
