If you tell a proper story in a proper way, you end up with a movie that will appeal to everyone, not just one age group. That's why great storytelling always leads to a great movie. "Swallows and Amazons" is a hugely entertaining movie for everyone.
The photography is exceptional, with some absolutely beautiful overhead shots of the lake and forest, and the director handles the material wonderfully. I especially enjoyed how natural the children came off, and they interacted with one another just like real children do.
There are some laugh out loud moments, some touching ones, and enough mystery to keep you guessing.
This is a highly enjoyable movie, regardless of your age, and deserves a place in your movie library. I heartily recommend it.
