The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

Harmless family fun. If you are a fan of Loch Ness lore and related movies, this will not disappoint. If you are not a fan or believer or even curious, I suggest you skip this movie. While there are a few familiar faces and some great movie moments, some of the acting is over-the-top and a bit of a distraction.

Alex Etel is as fun to watch here as here as he was in Millions. Her barely looks the 3 years older, but his acting is still great. Brian Cox is also wonderful though his role is small. He is a very welcome face on the screen. Emily Watson rounds out the most familiar faces, but if you are a fan of British theater, you will no doubt see more.

Don't expect to be overwhelmed with amazing CG monsters. Think Alf or ET or Pete's Dragon. Please don't misunderstand. The "monster" is very convincing and kids will love this story.

This is a great family movie. Watch it with a family that will let you join them for the evening.
