Acacia D @RT53656217 Sep 14, 2026 Cool adventure families too XXX See more Tim M @tgmacman Jul 8, 2026 Despite cribbing from many family fare of its era, The Borrowers nevertheless flexes its free-spirited creativity with wondrous production design. See more Jason R @J-Rush1411 Jun 25, 2026 Good fun for the whole family to watch See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Jun 4, 2026 The Borrowers is a fun and imaginative British family film that remains highly entertaining. Its unique premise, charming atmosphere, and creative world-building help it stand out from many other family movies of its era. The film does an excellent job bringing its tiny world to life through impressive sets, visual effects, and attention to detail. The adventure is easy to follow, and the lighthearted tone makes it enjoyable for viewers of all ages. One of the most memorable parts of the movie is the villain. The performance by John Goodman is entertaining and full of energy. It was interesting to see an American actor take on such a prominent role in a British production, and he adds plenty of personality to the film without overshadowing the rest of the cast. Overall, The Borrowers is a clever, family-friendly adventure with charm, humor, and creativity. It may not be perfect, but it is definitely a good film that remains worth watching. I rate it a 7/10.

Weird movie 6/10 See more K G @KatyG-S Jun 15, 2025 A loveable family tale involving miniature people. From the start, we have an adorable story being told with ever so funny parts here & there. There is very wonderful acting/casting with wit, humour, sympathy & courage. LISTING: John Goodman portraying Ocious P Potter, the evil man plotting to demolish the Lenders house, sending away the Lenders & would easily terminate the Borrowers. The parents of Pete Lender had it cooked with his mothers firm signific appearance (like her hair) she really seemed that she was not happy with something & we were too. Altogether, the family of the Clocka had been a great point of it: they all looked related with their curly & ginger hair & sweet buttoned up clothing, they were adventurous & slightly sane too. I even give credits to the set designs & props: when the Clocks were being filmed, those larger versions of the items in the old house were so realistic that it looked as if the camera was filmed so closed-up to the tables & boards, it was so convincing that they were real & small. It was crazy to have English characters using British terms like "chips" in an American environment (who would use American terms like "fries") but who cares See more Read all reviews
