Hugo was a poor representation of the imaginative story in the book, Hugo Cabret.
The writers for the movie obviously had no passion for the story- they were only after money. This fail of a movie did not get nearly the money the expected nor did it tell the story correctly. The characters were of in their individuality. Hugo, the main character was not at all like he was in the book (a spunky, imaginative boy.) In this movie adaptation he was simply a reckless child. Save yourself the time and money and do not go see this film. One minor pro of the movie was the fact that they at least got the setting right. It is in the city with clocked all around. I do not however, remember Hugo singing in musical number in the book. This is not a musical it is meant to be a lesson teaching story. Not everything has to be turned into some cheesy Hollywood adaptation. The author of this book deserves an apology as I'm sure people are not going to go buy his book after the absurdity of the film. In the end, Hugo was a major disappointment and I would strongly recommend not seeing it. Save your movie for something worthwhile
