more than a pleasant surprise

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2001)

i personally decided to go see the movie because it looked like a fun and good movie to see. i really went in with no expectations. but boy did i come out with a totally different perception. this movie is probably the best i have seen in a while. and it is great for the whole family. it is funny for children while witty and clever for adults. i had originally heard that this movie "poked fun" at fairy tales. the reality was that it never did it directly, but was very tasteful and really not that noticeable. the problem with fairy tales is that there is that certain "recipe" that every one follows. this one takes a detour, and in a far better direction.
