Spiderwick weaves a wondrous web Feb 13, 2008
If theres one element of the film that fails miserably, its the attempt at comic relief from Martin Short (as a honey-addicted house sprite) and Seth Rogen (as a hobgoblin who spits in the humans faces so that they can see the otherwise invisible creatures).
