Easy romp

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2004)

I came late to the party on this, I understand that it has semi-cult status with a different (younger) generation. Wry fantasy romance sets dashing Elwes against evil Sarandon for the hand of beautiful Wright (and stunning she is). If it was unique in its day it seems just a pleasant diversion in the post-Shrek era. Patinkin stands out as expert swordsman on a mission.
