It was okay. My love of the Mara Wilson movie was just how mischievous and magical it was. Everyone was great and the story flowed well. The musical was awesome and evoked the same feelings. Plus I love Tim Minchin and thought all the songs were great. But this movie, the choppiness, editing, and just how the story came together, I didn't feel it gave anyone and anything enough room to breath. Everything in isolation was good, but the parts didn't gel together for me, so a lot of the emotions I felt from the first movie and the musical didn't translate to this one. I was so excited for it, and felt let down. I guess I was expecting a lot more.
