The Duke (1999)

Member Rating:

Billed as Benji meets Howards End, this charming Canadian children's film concerns the struggle between a philanthropic duke (John Neville) and his sniveling nephew Cecil (Oliver Muirhead), who worries that his uncle is wasting his money by spending it on the poor. When the duke dies halfway through the movie, his American niece Charlotte (Courtnee Draper) takes over. Soon Charlotte falls in love with a dashing laborer (Jeremy Maxwell), while Cecil plots to stain the moral standing of the duke's loyal dog, Hubert. Star Trek's James Doohan also appears as a snooty English butler. The Duke was screened at the 1999 Flanders Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

I love this movie. Some of the voices were a little weird -- such as making crow-like noises at times -- but other than that it was a great movie. It does get a little scary in the middle, but in the end it all turns out fine. I would also recommend being careful with young children because --- SPOILER ALERT! DON'T READ FARTHER UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW THE PLOT -- because the Duke dies halfway through the movie and it might bother some little children. I am nine and I loved the movie. D.
