[Northkeep] Movie warning

[Stephanie Drake]

Well, that's nice to know.  I was pretty disappointed.  I was really up for
a good fantasy movie and I got a tear-jerker.  The kids movie comment was
really aimed at smaller kids - several families with kids in the 4-7 range
(guessing) were leaving the theater looking kind of bewildered.  We chatted
with one guy whose kids were in the potty after the movie and he said the
kids didn't like it much.

While there is a tiny bit of that sort of thing, most of the movie focuses
on the children's real lives.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie but
it wasn't what I was expecting.
