I definitely get the sense that Milton’s Secret, a film that feels like the warm embrace that a quirky aunt might give their niece or nephew, will be too sappy and simplistic for some, but it’s a good natured story done well and devoid of any cynicism.

Considering the legion of fans who have been awaiting The Hunger Games movie, based on Suzanne Collins’ hit novel, there’s enough anticipation for this soon-to-be adored film that you could probably cut the tension with a (throwing) knife, but there’s lots of good news for fans. Better still, you don’t even need to be a teenager, or a fan, to enjoy this tense action-adventure.
