Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (out Sep 29) has a great cast and some cool ingredients but it just doesn't come together. The storyline is rushed with unexplained gaps in between certain events. Asa Butterfield is also unconvincing in the lead role. The dialogue is just so wooden. Grade: C+.
