I was looking forward to "Bookworm," was just added to Kanopy.  Very disappointing.  Started out decent but switches to something entirely different midstream that just didn't work at all.  The age old formula of having to have a conflict is sometimes nonsensical in the context.  This is the would-be triumphant return of Elijah Wood to Middle Earth...I mean New Zealand.  He's a failed illusionist, meeting his estranged 11 year old daughter for the first time while her mom is in the hospital.  They go on a backpacking trip to try to obtain evidence of the elusive Canterbury panther (this is a real thing, I've looked it up, kind of the Kiwi version of Bigfoot).  There is a bit of charm and humor for a while.  New Zealand is always gorgeous.  They aren't in the snow and glacier clad mountains like LOTR franchise, but rolling hills and lakes.  Then they encounter another pair of backpackers and the whole thing derails, never gets on track again.  Too bad.
