Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh, adventure fans and families. If you loved The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants or 300, start here.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: Breezy, at 1 hr 19 min.
What might put you off: No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

One little ancient British village still holds out against the Roman invaders. Asterix and Obelix are invited to help. They must face fog, rain, warm beer and boiled boar with mint sauce, but they soon have Governor Encyclopaedius Britannicus's Romans declining and falling. Until a wild race for a barrel of magic potion lands them in the drink.
