We continue our week-long feature of Paramount’s Spiderwick Chronicles, a film that has twice the Freddie Highmore for the same price. As in, Highmore plays two parts. He is both Jared and Simon Grace, two twins who are as different as they are the same.

The Spiderwick Chronicles hits theaters this Thursday, February 14.
