Roald Dahl's Esio Trot (DVD)

Dustin Hoffman and Judi Dench star in this adaptation of Roald Dahl's book directed by Dearbhla Walsh and co-written by Richard Curtis. The film follows Mr Hoppy (Hoffman) as he tricks his neighbour, and love interest, Mrs Silver (Dench) into believing her frustratingly slow-growing pet tortoise Alfie has been cured by the powers of a made-up magic chant. However, unbeknown to Mrs Silver, Mr Hoppy has been replacing Alfie with increasingly larger tortoises as time passes. Will Mrs Silver ever see through her neighbour's ruse?

Esio Trot

Tue, 29 Dec 2015 | Review by: Jean M.

Aww this is such a sweet movie! Two of the greatest actors of our time...so nice to see them join forces to tell a simple, sweet story of romance, when we are accustomed to seeing them in heavy duty drama! This story, tho written by an author whom we have come to associate with kids' stories, is primarily aimed at more mature viewers; it is steeped in innocence, and is ideal family entertainment. Well worth the watch! Five stars!! Jean (Klerksdorp South Africa)
