“Letu0026#39;s be honest here: this movie is ridiculous. The special effects are laughable, the actors outrageously overact, the songs, though few, are completely forgettable, and the plot takes dreadful liberties with the book it is based on; Jules Verne would be spinning in his grave. All that being said, this movie is a lot of fun, just as long as you donu0026#39;t take it too seriously. The actors certainly arenu0026#39;t. Theyu0026#39;re having a damn good time and that rubs off on the viewer. Itu0026#39;s great to see familiar faces like Maurice Chevalier, Wilfred Hyde-White and George Sanders hamming it up and the younger actors are having fun too. Kids should love this and so too should nostalgic adults.”
