A magical, warm–hearted family film with universal appeal. Mr. Hoppy, a retired bachelor, harbours a secret passion for his neighbour, the lovely Mrs. Silver. Unfortunately, she lavishes all her affection on another, Alfie, her pet tortoise. Mr. Hoppy yearns to talk to Mrs. Silver, but tongue-tied and shy, his attempts always end in disaster. And when Mr. Pringle, a boorish next-door neighbour, asks Mrs. Silver out on a date, Mr. Hoppy's world falls apart. Mrs. Silver's greatest wish is for her tortoise, Alfie to grow a little bigger. All is lost for Mr. Hoppy until he has the brightest and most devious of ideas to win his lady's heart. Starring Academy Award winners Judy Dench and Dustin Hoffman, ESIO TROT is endearing and wonderful for the whole family. 2014 Endor productions ltd MMXIV

I like this movie more than the book (which is something I strongly believed I would never say or think until I saw this film). It's a feel good movie that had me smiling the entire time and certainly lives up to the high expectations anything originally made by Roald Dahl produces. It goes more in depth than the book does whilst not creating a whole new plot which so many movie adaptations of books unfortunately do. I loved it and I highly recommend it to everyone of all ages. (And if you're not interested in the plot or Roald Dahl, at least watch it for the superb cast who have really bought their characters to life -- and they're all particularly amazing to say the least anyway).

Great movie even though I haven't read the book. Still a Roald Dahl fan

Perfectly cast! Exceptionally told! A "Wonderful Gem" of a movie.
