DADDY: What did you think of the movie? 

LILLY: I thought it was awesome, really great and had good special effects.

DADDY: It is one of my favourite movies and it is so creative.

LILLY: It's like nothing you have seen before in your life and the characters are very appealing. It tells a story of life.

DADDY: Who was your favourite character?

LILLY: I liked the boy Kevin (Craig Warnock) because he helps in the adventure.

DADDY: He is one of the smartest characters in the film but I have a soft spot for Randall (David Rappaport).

LILLY: God is smarter.

DADDY: Debatable.

LILLY: Lol.

DADDY: What was your favourite moment?

LILLY: When everyone from history shows up at the end.

DADDY: Especially the cowboys!

LILLY: I have to agree.

DADDY: Would you recommend it to your friends?

LILLY: No because the ending was really scary because you didn't know what happened to his mum and dad and it was a mystery.

DADDY: Yeah you wanted to know if there was a sequel.

LILLY: Yes.

DADDY: There was going to be but the actors who played Randall (David Rappaport) and Wally (Jack Purvis) died and Terry Gilliam didn't think he could make it without them.

LILLY: That is very sad.

DADDY: It is. 

DADDY: How many stars would you give it?

LILLY: Fifteen because I didn't like the ending,

DADDY: Twenty for me because it is an amazing film.
