Genres: Fantasy, Children's/Family
Rating:
Peter_Hewitt (Tom and Huck) directed this 30-million family film, an adaptation of Mary Norton's classic children's novels about a miniature family of wee folk, four inches high, living beneath the floorboards of an English cottage. The Borrowers family, so labeled because they "borrow" from the house's kitchen, consist of Pod Clock (Jim_Broadbent), mother Homily (Celia_Imre), and children Arrietty (13-year-old Flora_Newbigin) and Peagreen (Tom_Felton). Their adventure begins when they're almost caught in the kitchen by the Lenders, the tenants of the house, so they run for cover. When lawyer-Realtor Ocious P. Potter (John_Goodman) discovers the owner of the house has died, he makes plans to evict the Lenders and demolish the building -- a situation where one would want to "neither a Borrower nor a Lender be." Fortunately, young Pete Lender (Bradley_Pierce) has become friends with Arrietty -- an alliance leading toward a method of thwarting Potter. Bhob Stewart, Rovi
