When he, Simon and Mallory investigate what's really going on, they uncover the fantastic truth of the Spiderwick estate and of the creatures that inhabit it.

My Grade: B++



What a magical movie!! A wee bit slow to start, but once the brownie, Thimbletack, makes an appearance, Spiderwick quickly picks up. There were a few scenes that had me a little bit freaked out, but it was all in good fun. And the visuals were amazing! And Hogsqual, the hobgoblin (voiced by Seth Rogen) was pretty funny.

Definitely a must see if you enjoy fantasy movies.
