The movie takes a more soft approach than the original story by Hans Cristian Andersen (this one does actually have a happy ending).
I love the danish gem of a man Dirch Passer and his comedic sense. It's not over the top in this movie and is used for brighten up some situations that might otherwise seem a little glum.
The acting is great and the Princess doesn't go from being a prissy Princess to a kind-hearted woman over night. It's a journey and I love that about it.
The only reason I can't give this a solid 10 is because even if the story flows pretty decently, it gets a bit confusing when the Prince's companion Kasper have a "fake prince" return home to Denmark (to throw the Princess off, I guess) and then has a DARK-haired WOMAN to play the Danish Prince during hunts and in town with "his" entourage. I would assume the Princess do remember him being golden haired, so this is why I can't give it more stars.
