enjoyed this movie thoroughly

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2006)

Cinematography is wonderful - acting is very good. Story - while it may not be completely original, is delightful none the less, and delivered with heaps of originality.
There are some who claim this movie is predictable. I can usually figure out the ending to a movie half way thru it, and had no problem predicting the endings of Beautiful Mind and Vanilla Sky, but this movie surprised me, and it did it in wonderful way. Ignore the naysayers... go see this movie!! If I have any criticism.. and this is minor, its that Sewell plays the crown prince a bit over the top. Its a matter of interpretation on the part of the director, and some may be completely convinced by his performance.
