Mo Folchart (Brendan Fraser) is a silvertongue; when he reads aloud his words bring the story out of the world in the book and into his. His ‘talent’ doesn’t come without consequences though as villains escape from a rare book called Inkheart and turn his world upside down.
Mo stops reading aloud and tries to keep his abilities secret and bring his daughter Meggie (Eliza Bennett) up in a normal life but, 10 years after their escape, the Inkheart Villains return and look set to ruin everything. Meggie discovers the truth about her family in the process and has to work with her father, her aunt Elinor (Helen Mirren) and Inkheart’s mis-understood hero, Dustfinger (Paul Bettany) to put a stop to the escaped villain’s evil plans.
Inkheart is a bizarre film but, it is entertaining enough none-the-less. It seems a bit stretched out in parts and harsher cuts may have added a bit more excitement. The story line is appealing, if a little cheesy, and the characters are interesting so, all-in-all it’s a good watch and makes a good family film.
