Aside from clever satirical moments script falls flat.

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2001)

The satirical value of this film has largely been used by many to
hide the slow moments of the film. This movie has a few very
humorous moments where it mocks many of the familiar fairy tale
characters. But the main story of the film, which is a more indirect
satire of typical fairy tale elements, is slow and has uncomfortable
interaction between the characters that make the movie more of a
task than a pleasure.
