    The story remains faithful to the book. The actors are wonderfully cast. I highly recommend this if you are a Pratchett fan. And keep your eyes out for other films from the series coming from the UK.

    You have to understand the minds of authors like Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaimen and others of their particular slant to like this movie. This movie is NOT for children but that is only because they won't understand it. SUPER Christians also will not like this movie as it takes a more Pagan approach to the Christmas holiday. The movie and other Pratchett movies persona fie Death, Time and other incarnations of our common world and this can be hard to explain to a closed mind and to children that are taught that Santa is real. If you have an open mind, enjoy abnormal sci-fantasy and don't mind Pagan type references then this movie is DEFINITELY for you!!

    If you are a fan of Terry Pratchett, you simply must see this film. It is very true to the book, and most of the characters are exactly as described (except Nobby Nobbs). However, it is NOT for kids, although it is fantasy, comedy and holiday-themed.
