Synopsis

The four-inch-tall Clock family secretly share a house with the normal-sized Lender family, "borrowing" such items as thread, safety pins, batteries and scraps of food. However, their peaceful co-existence is disturbed when evil lawyer Ocious P. Potter steals the will granting title to the house, which he plans to demolish in order to build apartments. The Lenders are forced to move, and the Clocks face the risk of being exposed to the normal-sized world.

chwalker-christopher I really could never have imagined that it would be possible to make a movie adaptation based on the Mary Norton books that would be so completely devoid of charm. When the estate licensed this adaptation, they made a terrible, terrible mistake.It's vile. I would have rated it a zero, but the scale only goes down to 1.
lastofthearchons I was so excited to learn that someone had adapted the Borrowers series that I had loved so much, but I found myself instantly disappointed. With the exception of Pod, Homily, and Arrietty, this movie has pretty much nothing in common with its source material. I'm 99% certain that the character of Peagreen was added to bring more boys into the theater. Though I like many of the actors featured, and the special effects were good, the plot was terrible, and the lovely story in the books was turned into one long "Three Stooges with Tiny People" gag. If you're looking for a faithful adaptation of the original source material, watch Studio Ghibli's "The Secret Life of Arrietty." Barring a few minor changes, the story and tone match the books perfectly.
Nellie Dao When i saw the first sense of The Borrowers, i was impressed by some dwarfs!! At the end of this film, it was plenty of dwarfs!! So impressive!! I mean they're beautifully cute!! The film- producer are really good when they could make the effects superbly!! I think that's why The Borrowers could win some side effects of award!!It was hilarious sometimes, touched sometimes but the main is it made audiences wanted to know the upshot ALL THE TIME!!! This film was suitable for a happy cluster night!! Maybe it ain't as perfect as a Hollywood film but it's worth watching!! Enjoy and have fun with The Borrowers!! ^^
beguynuy A movie is set in England. It about friendship between the borrowers - the Clock family and the lenders. At first, they don't know about each other, but then, because of the curiosity of Arriety - Pod's daughter, Arriety and Pete become good friends. After that, Arriety and her brother - Peagreen - accidentally take part in an adventure when they fall out of the lorry while they are moving with the lenders to the lender's new house. Arriety and Peagreen save the house from being demolished by an evil lawyer named Peter. At the end, the Clock family and the lenders become close-friends and they live happily together. A movie has special effects and a good cast...it's a great movie for your weekend with your family.
