This is a magical movie. In my opinion, those who criticise it did not quite understand it. Almost Fellinian, the story was very well rendered, with an added touch of poetry. How can anybody focus on the fact that Benigni is not a child, like if that was the point of the story? It is like saying "I don't like poetry because they use images to say a story, rather than saying the story clearly and explicitly". Maybe there are too many people that think the really great movies are the ones from the "Lord of the Rings" series, or similar. If those are your movies, don't watch Pinocchio. But if you are a touch more refined in your taste, go for it.
