Good book, c**p film. I've read many Tom Holt books and thoroughly enjoyed them, including "The Portable Door" but this film bares almost no resemblance to the book.
If you're going to make a film of a popular book, and you've bought the rights etc try and make a slight effort to follow the storyline, other than the title and the characters name it is unrecognisable from the source. I hate that, why not change the protagonist names and call the film "knock knock" and thereby evade my undying hatred!
This is actually a terrible children's film because firstly it not based on a children's book, and secondly it encourages children to watch second rate films rather than read first rate book!
