Prolific author Jacqueline Wilson revived Edith Nesbit’s beloved 1902 British fantasy-adventure 'Five Children and It' with 2012’s 'Four Children and It,' although the book is only now getting a feature adaptation
Five Children and It, although the book is only now getting a feature adaptation. Like so many other pandemic-hit titles, Lionsgate’s release has moved to premium video-on-demand after the film was forced to follow a similar path in the UK this spring. More curio than classic,may hold children’s attention over the movie’s brief running time, but seems unlikely to inspire many a rewatch.
Arriving separately with kids in tow at their too-cute rental cottage on the spectacularly scenic coast of Cornwall, the couple immediately encounters resistance to their dating disclosure. Ros, a bit of a dreamer still clinging to the faint hope that her parents may reconcile, pushes back against any maternal gestures offered by Alice, who’s already struggling to manage her rebellious thirteen-year-old Samantha, defiantly nicknamed Smash.
Pop stardom, magical flight and time travel figure among the kids’ wishes, although they remain unaware that Trent continues to watch them closely, eager to divert Psammead’s talents for his own amusement. Brand’s arrogantly idiosyncratic interpretation of the eccentric landowner emerges as the only really amusing performance throughout the movie, setting a low bar for most of the remaining cast.
