I started to read the book, but Victor Hugo goes on a bit for 21st century tastes. I think the film covered the chapters I've read in about ten minutes.
Not impressed though - too sentimental for my tastes, too dark and dismal in colouring, and I can't remember any of the songs - they sounded the same to me.
Some pretty people, and a bit of comic relief with the landlord and his lady, but all in all, I'm glad I have seen it, and even gladder that it's over.

Drop Dead Fred (1991)
A quote from the Wikipedia entry:
It was savaged by critics; Leonard Maltin stated that "Phoebe Cates' appealing performance can't salvage this putrid mess ... recommended only for people who think nose-picking is funny."
Well - I guess I think nose-picking is funny! A light-hearted film with serious undertones about a poltergeist-like imaginary friend, who returns to help Lizzie when her marriage breaks down. An entertaining film to while away an evening. Main characters played by Phoebe Cates and Rik Mayall. Now, how come an American kid has an English imaginary friend?
