(1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Page   1   "Although it's a fantasy, 'The Water Horse' makes us believe we're actually seeing 1940s Scotland on the big screen."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3/5 "an intriguing if incomplete experience"   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D "It's a mess of a movie, too frightening for the wee ones and a sleeping pill for adults. It's childlike wonder blared at top volume and there's no need for such disorder to steal free time from your holiday season."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 2/4 "By the end of the The Water Horse...Russell's film has pretty much morphed into Free Willy IV: Lassie Go Home."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth C+ "It's a movie for kids, and I suppose they will like it well enough, its pedestrian story notwithstanding."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "a small, personal film spruced up with a touch of the marketable. 'Lovely' is the best word to describe it."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "Nessie lays an egg literally and figuratively in this inoffensive, visually attractive but highly derivative family movie about a boy and his beastie."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 " An adventure story about a boy and a creature he raises who just might be the Loch Ness monster."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The story is clever and heartwarming enough for the film to work on some level for adults and children (although it skews younger). Plus, the CGI work is competently done."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Despite the occasionally charming or amusing moment, an air of familiarity hangs over the proceedings."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley "Snug and amiable, this is a comfy easy chair of a movie... one easy to let yourself sink into and enjoy in spite of yourself..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B+ "This is a fine family film, filled with imagination and heart."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "The Water Horse's framing device lends just the right measure of nostalgia and fairy-tale wonder."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 7/10 "A sweet, whimsical fantasy-adventure for the whole family."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Page   1
