User Reviews

it's really great!

I watched this for like three times already. All I can say is that it is one of the best that i have ever seen. I really love it. I just love the story, the cast, the setting... because I'm into the Medieval ages stuff. i love classic. Most especially, i love the script. I don't know... but it's simply great. i had a number of laughs too!!
