True Family Entertainment!

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2000)

What can I say about this film? It is one of my all time favourites that has a truly superb cast mixing well know and established actors (Billy Crystal, Peter Cooke, Peter Falk) with at the time unknowns (Carey Elwes, Robin Wright). I watched this many times as a kid not appreciating various aspects but watching it now I realise how corny it is in places and that only adds to the films excellence, this film could not have been totally serious with Billy Crystal as Miracle Max and Peter Cooke as the impressive Clergy Man. This is one the whole family can enjoy, either together or alone. Every so often a true Gem of a film comes along and this was one. If you have the misfortune not to have seen this film then I highly recommend it, if you have already seen it, I'm sure you love it and I urge you to watch it again.
