Sweet and Hokey

The movie, based on the book by William Golding, is a children's film, that is fun for adults too. It's a fairy tale, and the movie works with that theme. The sets are hokey, like out of a play, to make it feel more like a story. The acting is quite good, and the actors who were not well known then, have all gone on to be A-list names. It's sweet, humorous and good for the whole family.
