Directed by Gabor Csupo. Walt Disney Pictures. Many plot points are accurate in this movie version. The movie adds plots, characters, and themes that are not in the book, but the general story sticks to the book. It’s worth watching if you keep in mind that in the book Jess and Leslie are 10-years-old, not teenagers, and the book does not have a giant troll and flying monsters.
