MOVIE REVIEW
Yet another movie is recreated with real-life acting, state-of-the-art special effects, updated humor, and the same old story. Overall, this was a good movie; Pinocchio was pretty cute (his wooden self, at least) and funny. The Adventures of Pinocchio does suffer Age Syndrome, as it sometimes leans towards the younger audience, and sometimes towards the older audience. What results is either boring and corny parts, or content that might not be that great for little children. Full movie review »
