Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreHilarious script combined with the freshness of an amateur play. Everyone is obviously enjoying coloring outside the lines in this 'musical'. Actors playing several characters on a cardboard set. Ciderella, little Red Riding Hood (feeling the time ticking), prince Roderick, all struggling with their uncertainties. The bad stepmother and her spoiled daughters are drag queens. Little Red Riding Hood falls for the roughness of the Woolf hand something beautiful is blossoming between Prins Roderick and his servant Willy. Spiced with witty lines stolen form commercials, several tales intertwine. Wel deserved winner of the Film1 public award. Go see this movie, whether you are young or old.

Yes the film is funny, watchable for almost every age, but it's never fantastic,it's never that you cant's stop laughing. For my daughter of 8 it was a first insight in a typical Dutch sense of humour, which was done 15 years ago much better in the weekly adventures of Theo and Theo. In fact one of the key roles of this movie is Theo from Theo and Thea.Nice for a rainy Sunday afternoon and maybe internationally more liked because of the liberal way homosexuality is used, but not more than that. An 80 year old woman walked out the cinema with a smile, and said those good old days, where are they?
