I was not familiar with the book(s), but wanted to see the film because of the stellar cast - Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, Eileen Atkins, Viola Davis! The two teen lead actors were new to me and I found they were very charming and great in their roles. The scenery was great, the plot was magical/supernatural and the effects were fantastic. This is a fun romp of a film with a bit of teenage and southern family angst thrown in. I liked it, but if I was a teenage girl again - I would see this film dozens of times.
