Inaccurate!, 22 November 2006
3/10
Author: Hary Rutnor from Slough, England

I'm really annoyed that the movie about station Jim wasn't set in Slough! Station Jim was a real dog, and you can see him stuffed on platform five of Slough Station.

I mean, I know Slough isn't the quaintest of towns, but it's horribly inaccurate to make a movie about our one hero not set in our town! It's like making a movie where Batman fights crime in Metropolis instead of Gotham.

They could've filmed it somewhere else and at least pretended it was in Slough.

I personally thought that the film itself was a little too quaint, much too "hollywood" Victorian england, and not gritty enough. I know that it's supposed to be a family film, but still, it just seemed a bit weak in all fields to me.
