Laughably bad

A Customer from Yorkshire, 17th May, 2006

Ok, so this version of Oliver Twist sucks, simple as that. Elijah Wood's hokey cockney accent is perhaps the best thing about this film - which is saying something! So why two stars, not one? It's rare to see Elijah Wood play a carefree and HAPPY character, refreshing!

Disney Does Dickens

A Customer from Glasgow, 20th October, 2006

Competent adaptation, Elijah Wood's accent was dodgy though.

The Original was better

I thought this film was ok but thought the original Oliver Twist was better.
