Truly Dreadful Film

Good concept, poorly executed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I'm really annoyed that the movie about station Jim wasn't set in Slough! Station Jim was a real dog, and you can see him stuffed on platform five of Slough Station.I mean, I know Slough isn't the quaintest of towns, but it's horribly inaccurate to make a movie about our one hero not set in our town! It's like making a movie where Batman fights crime in Metropolis instead of Gotham.They could've filmed it somewhere else and at least pretended it was in Slough.I personally thought that the film itself was a little too quaint, much too "hollywood" Victorian england, and not gritty enough. I know that it's supposed to be a family film, but still, it just seemed a bit weak in all fields to me.

A wonderful film - a bit kitsch but when taken in the context of a piece of period entertainment for kids, it's great!The story is a about a railway station an orphanage, the orphans and their new young teacher, a mean property developer who arranges for a fire at the orphanage so he can re-develop it, a station porter wanting to be stationmaster, and a Jack Russell called Jim who saves Queen Vic and the orphanage.Shame it's not available on DVD - far far better than many "kids" films made at 200 times the budget (e.g. Spy kids..)My daughter wants to know why train stations don't look like that any more. me too...

This enchanting tale of a small railway station in the English countryside will appeal to adults and children alike. There is plenty of plot going on with an orphanage that must be saved (echoes of The Cider House Rules), a blossoming romance (featuring Laura Fraser - yum yum), and an impending visit to the station by HRH Queen Victoria. And it's all held together by a feisty little Jack Russell called Jim who always saves the day and will charm the pants off of anyone who watches it. Wonderful.
