Well, as it turns out,
Narnia was not enough, so some assholes decided to rip it off and thus
The Spiderwick Chronicles were born. It's about a couple of kids (Narnia knockoff factor = 1) who moved into a new house (Narnia knockoff factor = 2) which is inhabited by some gnome or dwarf or elf or whatever the fuck magical creature. They learn that there's a magical world out there (Narnia knockoff factor = 3), and one day, one of the kids is either lured or captured and dragged into a magical world, and to the villain (Narnia knockoff factor = 4), who is a shape-shifting ogre called Mulgarath.

O RLY? |
...so the other kids get their friend/relative back (Narnia knockoff factor = 5), and prepare to fight back the evil forces, with the help of other magical creatures (Narnia knockoff factor = 6). Then they fly on a griffin to a totally cracked up magical dimension where the author of a book of the magical creatures they've been using was. Unable to get out, he gives the kids some advice. They fight Mulgarath and everybody lives happily ever after (Narnia knockoff factor fuck you).
Film review:
Well, it was OK, but if I was to watch a fucked-up fantasy film, I'd choose Narnia.
My rating: 3.2/5
