Well, I sure did hear Elijah Wood drop the n-bomb a lot of times. He seemed to do a good job with the accents, though I’m no expert on southern US accents. It was an adventure, I guess, and it got pretty tense at times. I did not particularly warm to Huck and boy was Tom Sawyer an awful character! It probably goes without saying, but this is a classic that does not hold up to scrutiny in our modern world and I didn’t particularly care for it. I can now read James by Percival Everett and get the references though!
