Advantages: All round family entertainment at its best with a fine story
Disadvantages: maybe a little long for some

...My daughter borrowed a DVD form one of her friends from school over the half term holidays and whinged until we all sat and watched it. When I saw the title and read the ?blurb? I suddenly remembered that I had read something very similar, only it was entitled ?The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?, the only mention of Narnia was in the movie itself and not the title, from what I could recollect. Anyway, I remembered that I found C.S. Lewis?s ?Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe? a very good book indeed many years ago, (see, my memory does go way back), so I happily sat down with the family and watched this posher titled movie, hoping that I, and especially the kids, would not be disappointed.

Various airbeds were assessed and discarded, until, I saw it, sitting nonchalantly on a shelf- the Outwell Classic Flock Double Airbed with buit in pump! I picked it up, it didn't feel any hevaier than some of the others we had looked at, and they had all required that we blow them up using only our lung capacity, or that we bring along a pump, which would take up valuable backpack space and add additional (albeit minimal) weight to our packs. I presented my offering to my companion, "and (at 20 pounds) it's cheaper than the others!" He surveyed the box, noting the dimensions (191 x 140 x 23). It would fit easily inside our tent, it was just about long enough to support my lover's height, and, while it was 10... Read review
