Story: Vienna, 1920. Young Mary and her brother Max embark on a thrilling adventure on Christmas eve when their uncle (Nathan Lane) presents them a strange wooden doll called NC (Nutcracker). NC turns out to be a prince who needs the brother-sister duo to save him from the spell of the Rat King (John Turturro) and his evil mother (Frances de la Tour).
Movie Review: This one's a picturesque parable that has acquired cult status in its ballet form. This time, it re-appears as a straight feature that holds appeal, both for kids and adults. While the young audience would be enthralled by the sights and sounds of the Nutcracker's strange empire that's been taken over by the evil rats, adults would have a ball with John Turturro's antics as he tries to `ratify' the human world while his wicked and wimpish mother tells him to abandon the sinking ship. Why? asks a bewildered Turturro? Because that's what rats do, explains his delightfully fiendish mom.
Great fun.
