Strictly average movie

Brilliant and touching

Amateur movie with Big budget

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

We watched about 10 minutes of this before giving up entirely and looking for something else to watch. Clearly a cheap production, amateur actors and poor quality equipment. I don't see how it won a Children's Film Festival award either - this is not a film geared towards children. There is a lot of adult humor. The adult jokes are subtle - little kids wouldn't follow it - but it's there. Multiple comments about "nasty dreams", four letter word puns - instead of "shiny wit" the character almost says "whiny sh*t" - and similar jokes abound. The plot (what little I saw of it) would go right over my kids' heads too. This is certainly not something my kids would enjoy watching.

I don't know where to begin with this awful mess of a movie. I know it's supposed to be "kids and family" oriented, but that shouldn't be an excuse for horrific, irresponsible film making! How do movies like this get distribution?? I have seen first time student films of better quality and production value than this.The story and dialogue is an incoherent mess. The sound editing sounds like a mix wasn't even attempted. The cinematography is less than amateurish, I have never seen so many washed out, overexposed shots in one movie in my entire life. I've seen better acting in soft-core porns.The most disturbing thing to me is that this movie had a 9.4 rating on IMDb, which is the only reason I even attempted to view this disgrace of a film. Granted, it was only out of 33 votes, but I figured if 30+ people had seen this movie and taken the time to go on this site and give it a "10" rating, that it had to at least be worth checking out, even if it turned out to not be that amazing.This is a clear example of friends, cast, and crew of this film just logging on and giving it a "10". Hopefully my vote of "1", and all the other inevitable "1's" to follow from people who unfortunately see this film, bring the average down to a number that accurately represents the hideousness of this disgusting spectacle.

If you can suspend your disbelief for a moment or so this movie will be even more enjoyable to watch. It is hilariously fun with just enough silliness not to interfere with the plot. Princess Esmeralda discovers an evil afoot while Don Juan comes through as the ever valiant swordsmaster with a quick wit and even faster sword. Miguel adds to the mix with his outlandish style of humor and well placed moments of timely exits. All of the action works itself well into the finale with the evil Krankenmal. Dakota, Jose and Douglas along with a great troupe of other cast deliver a fun filled, exciting performance that is reminiscent of the comedy and exploits known of them on stage in live performance. I would recommend this movie to anyone wishing to own a good comedy that is entertaining for the whole family.

Drove 10 hours to see the world premier outside of Dallas and had no regrets. Don Juan and Miquel have a refreshingly different sense of comedy. Add in the straight woman character of Esmeralda and you have quite a team. Filmed entirely at renaissance festivals with a terrific variety of the really great circuit acts they represent some of the greatest variety of characters you will come across in the independent film industry today. This film is great for children of all ages. The character and costume changes that Miguel goes through are quite funny and Esmeralda's facial expressions and demeanor are sure to crack you up. Sit back,relax and enjoy. Can't wait till they release the next film.
