As interesting as those layers might be, I do think the film hits a few bumps as it tries to juggle the struggles of Geppetto and Pinocchio with both the stories of the circus and the military youth camp.

This is not a film of booms and bangs, but more a film of dialogue and subtle performances.

The film is the second film from director Michael Patrick Jann, who gained some notoriety in 1999 after directing Drop Dead Gorgeous.
