Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This documentary playfully recounts the journey of Norton Juster's classic novel, beginning with the friendship and collaboration of two young hip Brooklyn housemates--juster and Jules Feiffer, both from the Jewish immigrant world of the outer boroughs of new york city.
