SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

just watch it!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I happened to find this on a previously-viewed rack the other day. I really admired Phoebe Cates when she was making movies in the 1980s, and was sorry to see her fresh young beauty exploited in cheap teen comedies (even though it was done pretty hilariously most of the time). I'd heard of this film but hadn't seen it yet.My only comment on it is "superb," as I found the story fascinating and quite absorbing, with one exception. I did not like the obviously tacked-on "Hollywood happy ending." I felt the story would have been a lot more interesting, and Princess Caraboo a lot more compelling of a character, if she had continued to travel the world alone.

Any film that brings Phoebe Cates 'out of retirement' is already great in my book. This woman is beautiful and talented and I wish she was in every film instead of Jennifer Anniston. Anyway, this is a delightful little fable that also features Jim Broadbent and Kevin Kline, both great comedians, supporting Phoebe Cates. Supposedly based on a true story, this little unseen gem is perfect for the whole family. Well done!

Cates is insipid and unconvincing, Kline over-acts as always, as does Lithgow while butchering an English accent (at least, I assume that's what he's attempting), and the tone staggers uneasily between farcical and maudlin. As with most pet projects showcasing a celebrity couple, it's a relief when this shoddy piece grinds to it's forced and jarring conclusion.

This movie is delightful. It plays around with the concept of fairytales being lived, in a way. This movie is realy cute and I recommend you see it.
