If you are interested in watching insufferable, privileged white people tooling around in a Subaru and treating the national parks like their personal hipster playground, this film is for you.

Watch 'For All Mankind' instead. It is a much better film. Saying this film owes it a large debt would be a great understatement; it feels like they've just rehashed Al Reinert's masterpiece.

One of the most dreadful adaptations of a book I've seen in a long time. Disney took the delightful and touching 1929 novel by Erich Kästner and turned it into something utterly ridiculous. In the first half-minute I knew something was going to be off when they revealed straight away who the robber was for certain, thus destroying any sense of mystery and tension the book had. Moreover they made the Grundeis character so grossly unbelievable as a person, it was hardly watchable. And the detectives...all the charm and comradery of the group of boys who help Emil in the book was lost in this film. In the film, they were basically hired for a tenner.
