This live-action version of E.B. White's novel doesn't have quite the magic of, say, Toy Story. Instead of entertainment the whole family can be enthralled with, Stuart Little is squarely aimed, and successfully so, at the 4- to 10-year-old watcher. Does this make it a bad family film? Not in the slightest. The gee-whiz visual effects (created by original Star Wars wizard John Dykstra) and the film's ebullient wholesomeness make this a welcome addition to the home library. In E.B. White's world, it's hardly surprising that human parents would adopt "outside their species." The smooth-talking mouse Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) seems the perfect new child for parents Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie, especially with an adorable wardrobe of very small sweaters and pants. Harder is fitting in with the Little's family cat, Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane, who also deftly voiced Timon in director Rob Minkoff's last feature, The Lion King). The simple story deals with Stuart trying to fit in with his new life, including big brother George (Jerry Maguire's scene-stealing Jonathan Lipnicki). And of course there's an adventure when Snowbell's schemes lead Stuart into true danger, in the form of the devious plans of an alley cat named Smokey (voiced by Chazz Palminteri). Brisk--85 minutes--amusing, and tolerably cute, Stuart Little stands tall. Two curios: The effects are so cleanly done that we could call Stuart the first successfully computer-animated actor, and the screenplay was cowritten by M. Night Shyamalan, who made bigger waves in 1999 writing and directing The Sixth Sense. --Doug Thomas

 It's cute.....TOO cute February 6, 2010
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
Okay, here's what I like about Stuart Little. I did like Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, and Nathan Lane. All three of them gave very good performances. That's it. The rest of the movie is trash. I never read E.B. White's original children's book, so I have nothing against the actual story. One of the problems I have with this film in particular is that it tries really hard to be as sweet as it can, and it turns out to look and feel MUCH too sentimental. The dialogue is corny, and the humor is dull (even for a family film). Plus, the innocence and cuteness of the main character (of the same name) is forced to the point that he is painfully irritating to look at. Now, Michael J. Fox is a brilliant actor, but his voice for the mouse does get annoying by the second half of the film. And I never liked the roles that Jonathan Lipnicki has ever played (including the one in the film Jerry Maguire), and his character named George Little is a big reminder of why I don't.
You may think that I'm too harsh, but honestly I don't completely hate this film. Davis, Laurie, and Lane are indeed good, but they can't save Stuart Little from being a pretty bad film. It tries too hard to be cute and innocent, but in the end result, it's almost annoying.
Grade: D

Stuart Little (Deluxe Edition) January 19, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
When the Littles go to an orphanage to adopt a new family member, their son, George, insists on a little brother as opposed to a big one. His request is honored more literally than he ever imagined when a charming young mouse named Stuart is chosen. While George is disappointed and initially unwelcoming to his new brother, the family cat, Snowbell, is even less enthusiastic at the prospect of having a mouse as his "master" and plots to get rid of him. Against these difficulties, Stuart resolves to face them with as much pluck, love and courage as he can muster. In doing so, he shows his beloved new family that great things can truly come in small packages. Truly a family movie, especially made for kids. Stuart is very sweet and beautifully made to make you fall in love with him from the first sight. A family classic.

I was pleased with the prompt delivery of this purchase. I got it for a child's birthday and it arrived early. Imagine that!

The movie is meant to be for 4-7 year olds judging from the plot, but the amount of mild profanity is inappropriate for that age group. Much of the movie is sadness and/or peril, with the cat chases definitely overdone. Stuart's a great kid, I mean mouse, though! Geena Davis did a great job.
