It's that trauma that serves as the motivating plot element for A FarOffPlace, as the two surviving children, Nonnie (Reese Witherspoon) and Harry, set off on a trek across the African desert, relying on their wits and the advice of their native friend.
However, A FarOffPlace isn't a good children's film; it's a rather bland film that uncomfortably straddles the line between being a film intended for children and one intended for all audiences.
For older viewers, A FarOffPlace is unengaging at best and relies on stereotyped material, both in the form of well-worn character types and predictable life lessons.
