Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

AgentSauvage "Pert from the front and a vision from behind" - This is such a wonderful televisual experience that I have to watch the whole mini-series once a year at least. It is a superb fairy tale loosely based on all your favourite child-hood tales from the Brothers Grimm, with an obligatory trip to the tenth kingdom (New York, of course). The ensemble cast are superb (except, maybe, for the disappointing performances from Ann-Margret and Snow White, which are based more on renown than upon suitability for the role!) Dianne Wiest once again proves that she deserves an award for every production in which she appears. She is ably supported by the wonderful Scott Cohen (where was his Emmy for this role?) and Kimberly Williams. John Larroquette is at his very best as the NY janitor who proves that whatever can goes wrong will go wrong. Rutger Hauer creates one of his best characters since he appeared in Bladerunner and the trolls are superb: "suck an elf" is such a well crafted catch-phrase and the general incompetence of the three children of the Troll King is amply demonstrated by the wonderful self-description "I am Bluebell the troll, terrified throughout the Nine Kingdoms". The Shepherdess competition is a sublime piece of television - no-one will ever hear "We will rock you" again without a small smile as "we will shear you" comes to mind. Watch this, love this, watch it again!

nyfarmgirl17 I love this movie, it goes above and beyond on attention to detail. Every stitch and scene is planned to the letter. The casting was spot on too, you can relate to pretty much every character in the movie. I love how it takes traditional fairy tales most of us grew up with and takes a whole new spin on them. I can watch ti over and over. The only drawback was it could have had a sequel, since the ending was semi open, and it never did. But even without it, it's a great story. Everyone delivers. Some things might be too scary for younger children, but the movie overall is no worse than the Grimm Fairy tales I used to read as a kid. It's a delight. You'll be hooked.

renoactor Let me start with praise for the magnificent graphics, costumes and sets and the cute story and the Wolf that stole the movie, followed closely by Sally Peep. But when Tony says he'll stay behind at the end, who can blame him? His daughter, whom he raised alone, considers him a joke and argues with him every chance she gets, and is more affected by the death of her mother who tried to kill her three times. Not that Tony doesn't have his own problems. He is continually sarcastic and verbally abusive to Virginia (and everyone else within earshot). I count no less than four times that his daughter is crying inconsolably and he stands silently and watches her. Have either of these people heard of a HUG? No wonder Virginia skips from a brief kiss to the horizontal hokey-pokey with Wolf. No one has ever shown her any real affection. I think that's where this film fell down for me. Dad and daughter were only sparring partners. They might as well have been complete strangers. It might have played better.

Blueghost Having not watched regular TV since the mid 90s, I simply had not heard of this TV network special. But when I saw the DVD case on the store shelf it piqued my interest.I saw the $9 price tag, smirked. On the cover the box bragged an all star cast for what I figured had to be a direct to video title. Ann Margaret, Rutger Hauer, Camryn Manheim and others? I scratched my head. Why hadn't I heard about this piece before? Well, Ed O'Neil and John Laroquette, a pair of TV's most infamous, were also in this film. Had I my answer? Partially.Well, it wasn't a major motion picture with theatrical release written all over it, but the cast was impressive enough, and the fact that there was more than one DVD in the case married to a $9 price tag, how could I go wrong? I took a chance, and wasn't too surprised with what I found. It certainly wasn't Pete Jackson's Lord of the Rings saga, nor even a Disney take on an old fairy tale, but a "modern" spin on a conglomeration of tales revisited for those who grew up with them.It's a made for TV flick, but done with quite a few familiar faces, shot in standard format. The thing this series has going for it is the amount of content contained within it. I liked "The Odyssey" and the "Gulliver" productions because of the scale, scope and ambition of those films, but "The 10th Kingdom" didn't seem to strike the same chord as those other features.Still, it's a very capable production which entertains in a mediocre television vein. The effects are fairly prosaic, and nothing in particular is done with the basic visuals, but it's an okay TV special with some endearing characters (though I'm not sure I would've cast Scott Cohen in the leading "wolf" role).Good decent fun. If you have nine bucks burning a hole in your pocket, then go ahead and take a chance on this three disk DVD set. You won't be disappointed.
