I'm actually with Alex on both counts.
I thought The Illusionist was-- much like a magician's act-- all flash and no substance. Very pretty to look at, but not at all emotionally involving. I also thought Norton's acting was woefully overstated.
Little Children had its moments, but it was uneven at best. Acting? Yes. Overindulgent? Indeed. An oops-we'd-better-wrap-this-all-up-neatly closure? Quite.
