and probably a tax write off for half the production. I nearly cringed halfway through when this "lost films" thing came up. Then at the end about searching and searching and finding copies and prints, etc. "Hugo" was a shill for the AFI film restoration movement.
I though it an average kid's movie but not so special as to attract any extra attention. I was just about to walk out when I picked up on the ending coming soon.
This thing might be fine for kids or big kids who don't go to the movies very often but it certainly doesn't carry much weight outside that.
