REVIEW SUMMARY
"A Wrinkle In Time is a surprising miss-fire from the House of Mouse. This is an ambitious book to film adaptation that couldn't pull off the many fantastical elements. The special FX range from great to awful with performances being a mixed bag as well. Storm Reid does a serviceable job as the lead girl in search of her father, but Deric McCabe was atrocious as her little brother (sorry kid). Not even Oprah could save this disappointing Disney sized mess!"
