Synposis:
In the movie, 12-year-old Jeremy Fink receives a mysterious wooden box with the words “The Meaning of Life – for Jeremy Fink to open on his 13 birthday.” The box has four locks, but the keys are lost. In order to find out what secrets lie within the box, it’s up to Jeremy and his best friend Lizzy to search high and low throughout Manhattan for clues to the keys.
The adventure takes them from flea markets to science museums, and the duo meet an assortment of wacky and interesting characters along the way. Each encounter unlocks a clue, bringing them closer to finding out just what’s in the box – and ultimately the greatest secret of them all!
Our Thoughts:
My girls (7 and 11) and I sat down to watch this together, and I honestly didn't think that Orangie(7) would sit and watch the whole thing....but i was wrong! This movie is fantastic! It is admittedly a tad slow at the beginning, but once the story gets going you're totally sucked in. I loved the actors in it, especially Michael Urie (Ugly Betty), and it was so nice to see Mira Sorvino again! Jeremy Fink is a wonderful family-friendly movie! I know that we'll certainly be watching it again!
You should definitely watch the trailer!
The DVD is loaded with special features, including cast interviews, deleted scenes, bloopers, a limited edition o-card with glitter spotting, and a downloadable audio reading by author Wendy Mass of the book's first chapter.

I've not heard of this one but it sounds alright. Thanks for sharing.
It sounds like a great movie to watch with kids. Maybe I'll get my two older nieces to watch it with my little one :)
