All my life I have had a special fascination for Nessie.
For years, I have dreamed about one day traveling to Loch Ness—not to search for the monster, mind you—-but just to see the place where the fascinating legend began.
When I first watched The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, it was love at first sight. The adorable Crusoe, especially the awkward, adolescent-sized creature, stole my heart as I laughed my way through his hilarious hijinks.
This feature has it all—a tender drama set in the backdrop of WWII, stellar acting, a child coming to grips with grief and loss, a fantastic score by James Newton Howard, and best of all, a legendary Loch monster.
The Critic’s Take:
Carissa Horton at Charity’s Place:
“Just the scenery in Scotland and New Zealand was enough to make me love this film even if not for the glorious overflowing of Scottish and British accents. The CGI effects were truly works of art, absolutely magnificent. I found myself honestly believing that this water horse existed and I, along with every other moviegoer, loved him.”
As with all entertainment choices, please carefully research the content in this film by reading the complete review to determine if it is suitable for your family viewing.
