The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)
description written by member Zara:
When city-raised twins Jared and Simon (both played by Freddie Highmore) move to an old country mansion with their mother (Mary-Louise Parker) and sister (Sarah Bolger), it's quite an adjustment -- especially when they uncover a magical and sometimes dangerous fantasy world.

"The Spiderwick Chronicles" turned out to be a surprise for me.
