Really Very Good


Not wall to wall iconic moments like The Princess Bride, but this is a very fine evocation of a fairy tale with enough of a modern sensibility to work in 2007 or 2024... and, presumably, for some time to come.

I'm a bit surprised that I never heard of this one till yesterday, so I suppose that means it didn't have the great success I think it deserves.

"very good" is a bit generous but it is a fun movie that works surprisingly well. I like the comedic bits and the story is interesting. Not a classic but still very much recommended to anyone who enjoys fantasy.
