Editorial Review:
When Mo Folchart reads a story, the characters leap off the page. Literally. And that’s a problem. Mo must somehow use his special powers to send the interlopers back to their world…and save ours. If ever a task was easier read than done, this is it. Mo and his daughter Meggie, aided by friends real and fictional, plunge into a thrilling quest that pits them against diabolical villains, fantastic beasts and dangers at every turn. Brendan Fraser (The Mummy films, Journey to the Center of the Earth) leads a splendid cast (including Academy Award winners* Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent) in an all-fun, all-family film of Cornelia Funke’s bestseller. Follow Mo and Meggie into adventure more exciting than any ever read. Because it’s adventure they’re going to live! Blu-ray features: Behind the Story, A Story from the Cast and Crew, From Imagination to the Page: How Writers Write, Eliza Reads to Us, Deleted Scenes, BD Live.
Description of Inkheart (+ Digital Copy and BD-Live) [Blu-ray]:
"I prefer a story that has the good sense to stay on the page--where it belongs!" declares Elinor Loredan (Helen Mirren, in fine upper-crust form) in Inkheart, a rollicking adventure that appeals to adults as well as tweens and teens. But if Elinor got what she wanted, viewers would not--for the delicious premise of the film (based on Cornelia Funke's best-selling novel is that book lover Mo Folchart (Brendan Fraser) has discovered a way to bring book characters to life. That means that adorable Toto from The Wizard of Oz is suddenly yapping under Mo's daughter Meggie's (Eliza Bennett) bed. But it also means that somewhere, a real person or thing has been sucked into the book world--battling flying monkeys and evildoers that suddenly are real threats. The film is crisply directed by Iain Softley, and Fraser and his costars (including Mirren, Paul Bettany, and Jim Broadbent) are worthy, watchable characters who appear to be having as much fun as the audience. And the film's pro-book message will please young book readers, and their parents, who know that a good adventure in one's imagination can never be rivaled by anything on any screen, of any size. --A.T.

Inkheart (+ Digital Copy and BD-Live) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Wonderful family movie 
2009-11-07 - What an incredible movie! Parents, kids, aunts, uncles, grandparents... we all enjoyed it. In fact, it started us on an adventure of reading, especially of Cornelia Funke's books. Hope they make the whole trilogy into movies.
Highly recommend any audio book versions that Brendan Frasier reads. He is truly versatile, with an amazing repertoire of voices and accents.
Really, what do you expect? 
2009-10-26 - The child liked it. The mom and the dad (me) enjoyed making fun of it. It was everything that I expected.
It is hard to imagine the plot of the movie having been put together by a functional adult. My only question is whether the story's dreadfulness was due to the book or the adaptation.
Inkheart 
2009-10-26 - This is a great film for the whole family. Encourage your kids to read the book or read the book with your kids and then watch the movie.Inkheart
It would be a great stocking stuffer! 
2009-10-23 - Need some help planning a rainy/snowy afternoon with the grandkids, then pop in this DVD. This has been enjoyed (without needing censoring) by all ages in this household. The movie has enough fun and action for the children and good acting and storyline for the adults. It would be a great stocking stuffer!
Rare Gem 
2009-10-19 - I will keep this short as to not give away any of this films content but just needed to say that we FINALLY have a most exceptional piece of entertainment that everyone can enjoy. This film proves that a good movie does not have to have cursing and sexual content. Films like these are keepers and I have just enjoyed watching this movie immensely. Brandon Fraser is a favorite of mine to begin with, the story is superb and the entire cast made this one of my new favorite movies. Give yourself a treat and watch this movie.
