It was alright...nothing special.

Rating: 6/10 (2 April 2003)

The way people talked about this movie I was expecting a laugh riot. Instead it was worthy of a few laughs here and there. The first time I saw this I only caught the tail end of it (the last twenty or so minutes) and quite frankly it wasn't very funny at all. Then I saw the whole movie and most of the best jokes are in the first hour. Still it was only worth a chuckle here and there...I definitely don't see what the big deal was. Myers does the voice of the ogre, and he is basically doing his fat-b&st@rd Scottish voice, but he does rather well. Murphy basically does the character he played in Mulan. Lithgow, who does the best job isn't in it enough. Some cute jabs at Disney in this one and their theme parks and overall it was ok, but not all it was hyped up to be.
