Could there be a better modern fairy tale?

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2004)

Excellent writing. Excellent cast -- perfectly cast, in fact. Short of the fluff that drags fairy tales out and long on the important stuff. Strong, clear plot. Great action. LOTS of humor (mostly dry wit, which I love, but I understand that type of humor is not for everyone).
Hmmm. I never knew that it was Directed by Rob Reiner, since it became one of my favorites while I was still quite young (15). I'm starting to understand just how great a great filmmaker he is. So far that I know, three of my favorite movies are his: The Princess Bride, Misery, and Stand By Me.
BTW, that two of them are also Stephen King adaptations is probably not a coincidence, since he is my favorite author.
I give it a 10.
