Its a great movie to watch if you are lazy. I enjoyed the characters very much.

Incredibly meaningful. I'm glad there are still movies out there with inspiring themes. Reenforced my admiration of not growing up. I won't :]

*Spoilers contained*The movie was pretty good, but it wasn't anything special. The overall plot is a little hackneyed and trite, and the writing was iffy in spots -- especially in the opening narrative. But the acting was good and the movie had its funny moments. The writing and overall thought process going into this movie needs work, with the biggest example of this need coming through during the "Indian raid" prank when Scar kills a photographer. This movie requires a certain level of one needing to use their imagination and suspend their disbelief, but the internal logic is completely shattered when Scar snaps that photographer's neck during the commotion. It's a moment of pure absurdity that doesn't fit with the movie at all, and proves a display of such poor writing and thought that the suspension of disbelief becomes impossible -- especially considering that critical scenes and actor portrayals often came off at "good" or "decent" at best. So a political hopeful will go after a young man for ruining his public display, putting a dart into his hand, and shoving him into a river, but nobody's going to investigate a murder?If you haven't seen it, or if you're looking through reviews before watching this film, you won't miss anything if you skip it. But if you do watch it, it's certainly not horrible. 2 1/2 stars might be a little more appropriate than 3.

An ingenious, well-directed film that demands imagination and creativity for the duration; it pulls on the heart's strings and draws on what's left of our childhood in our grown minds. Where humour proves ridiculous, the child-like notions are broadened, and when the realism comes as too much, a fantastic fairy tale is intertwined. For the poetic romanticism that lies in shenanigans we practice, miss, or desire- we have 'The Book of Caleb'.

a good idea for a movie in theory if not practice. the acting styles need more balance- the earnestness of the guy who plays Caleb grates like nails on a chalkboard against the flamboyance of the guy who plays Scar. The medieval scroll thing is clever and that theme could have been used more throughout to give a consistent silliness that would make the film more coherent.

I loved this movie. It had a good, deep story.
