After moving into the rundown Spiderwick mansion, young Jared discovers a book called ‘Spiderwick’s Field Guide To Faeries’, with a warning on it not to read it. Ignoring this advice, Jared opens the book and discovers how to access a how fantasy world humans can’t normally see. While you do feel they could have gone a bit further with The Spiderwick Chronicles, it mostly works extremely well. Freddie Highmore does a pretty good American accent as twins Simon and Jared, and holds the film together pretty well. There are moments when the CG fantasy world gets a little too hectic for its won good, but largely The Spiderwick Chronicles is great fun.
