Great fantasy movie - Sadly overlooked & under recognized this summer.

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2008)

We saw a preview for this movie and waited for it to arrive in theaters. The summer came and went without a peep about it. I thought for sure it would be greatly publicized like other fantasy movies, especially with the cast list ( DeNiro, Pfeiffer, Miller ) It wasn't until I looked it up on IMDb that we realized that we missed it completely over the summer! We finally got to see it in February when it was on PPV. What a great movie! It had a little something for our whole family - romance, magic, humour, pirates, etc. It's so unfair that a great fantasy film can get lost in the shuffle amid the 'less than spectacular - but hugely promoted' movies of the summer. This movie will be one of our favourites I'm sure.
