Hated it as a kid, hate it even more now.

I wish somebody would let me borrow some cheese wire. Cause then I put an add on craigslist to get some psychopath as a cleaner, use the cheese wire to make a noose, set everything up, super-glue my hands to the sides of my head, jump, and then the craigslist psychopath could clean everything up. Then when my body is discovered it would look like I tore my head off with my bare hands.

The Borrowers is yet another totally unimpressive family film and to be honest I'm having trouble remembering anything distinguishing about it at all. Not terrible, just nothing special and totally forgettable.

Meh. Not really my thing. Might have been better if it were animated.

Clever, if hectic and noisy, children's film; it doesn't have the quiet humour of the original books, but nevertheless creates an old, fanciful world that mixes English and American influences.

It's perfectly content to go for the cheap laugh, which would be tolerable in and of itself; unfortunately, everyone involved seems to be (somehow) phoning it in and chewing at the scenery at the same time, and so the whole thing comes across as being directionless and over-acted. A little subtlety and a tighter plot might have gone a long way.

Entirely forgettable.

Interesting in concept but boring and unfunny in execution.

Wow! Forgot this even existed. It is rubbish.

I enjoyed this as a kid, but re-watching it when older maes me realise just how poor this was.

I remember not liking it.

Was okay iirc won't argue about it being forgettable, though - it certainly is

Kiddie litter

Yet another modern disembowelment of a great children's book, sure to have Mary Norton spinning in her grave and to outrage fans of her work.

loved it as a kid

Enjoyed this as a kid and obviously not all family entertainment holds up. The movie is pretty ugly - everything is a drab brown, which I imagine is to help aid the "vintage" feel of the movie. John Goodman chews the scenery, which is fun, but more could have been done. Even when I was 5 and enjoyed the hell out of this, I liked the production design the most - and that stands up, with a good amount of creativity but still with a sense of cartoon style. Shame the plot is so cookie cutter.

This was one of those films that I grew up with and I can still watch it today and really enjoy it. While it's no match to a Disney Classic it still has that nostalgia feel to it, and surprisingly good special effects for the late 90's. John Goodman plays the ultimate baddie and while it is really dulled down for a younger audience it's still a fun film. Also quite funny watching a young Tom Felton, aka Draco Malfoy, as Peagreen. Overall a good ol' 90's kiddy flick still fun to watch today!
