When Mo Folchart reads a story aloud, the characters leap off the page. Literally. And that's a problem. One night he brings out three characters from Inkheart, a story set in medieval times and filled with magical beings. Capricorn and Basta are two villains. Dustfinger is a fire-eater. Now, 10 years later Mo's daughter, Meggie, discovers the truth and it's up to her to escape Capricorn's evil grasp. Mo has been searching for a long lost book that will help so he can use his special powers to the interlopers back to their world.

not even helen could fix this submitted by ferdoble on August 2, 2011, 3:50pm I was not really blown away by this one. I read the book and didn't really like it (but it wasn't terrible), then I watched the movie to see if they could save it with some bucks and Helen Mirren, but no dice.

lightweight submitted by FordAlpha on August 28, 2017, 11:19am This is a reasonably entertaining film. Several moments were too scary for my younger kids, while others were too boring for my oldest. Not terrible, but not worth a second viewing.
