Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Lone motherless Hodder (Johansen, excellent) doesn't appear too unhappy with his lot, although he would dearly love his fly-posting father to find another woman. Nevertheless, he does have a hard time at school, where he's constantly bullied and often falsely blamed for others' misdeeds. He takes it all in his stride, however, because he knows he must be the chosen one when a fairy flutters into his life and instructs him to 'save the world'. This adaptation of Bjarne Reuter's children's novel may lack a satisfying denouement, but it's a charming little fable all the same.
