A guilty pleasure, perhaps, but great fun, 25 October 2002
10/10
Author: danpatter2002 from Houston, TX

This charming fairy tale features some fine performances, especially from Dick Shawn, Valerie Perrine and Beverly D'Angelo. The movie is sweet and enjoyable, and there are a couple of nice songs, too. Suspend your disbelief, pop the corn, sit back and enjoy.
