 Great Escapist Fare! May 5, 2009
Twug (Too Many Hours Shy of Paradise)
I really enjoyed this movie. The only thing that could have used improvement was the special effects (the dragons). James Purefoy was a sheer delight. He is one of the most natural actors I have seen and really becomes his character. There is a good bit of violence but not much bloodshed.

This fine bit of fluff starts with a war-weary knight returning to his homeland, wanting nothing more than to settle down into peaceful obscurity. The princess has gone mysteriously missing, however, and he takes on the quest to recover her.
That princess turns out to be the petite but spunky Lunna, played by Piper Perabo. She's doing quite nicely until some oafs started getting underfoot and trying to save her. The fact that she treats dragons as an endangered species and that the knights are the danger just adds to her problems. Throw in some bad guys, some good guys in surprising places, and a suit of chain mail tailored to Piper's compact and curvy form, and the story stands well away from the ordinary.
It's a great popcorn movie, kid-safe but with plenty to amuse a grown-up who's willing to be amused.

What an adorable and entertaining movie this is!! James is absolutely gorgeous in this and his acting is superb. This definitely is a must for Purefoy fans. The cast is awesome also. I highly recommend this movie.
A Pleasant Surprise! June 23, 2008

Never knowing quite what to expect from a movie we'd previously never heard of, and purchased solely on the basis of the other reviews here, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the overall entertainment value of this movie. Action, adventure, chivalry, and a good dose of humor round out this "unbelievable" tale! Totally kid-friendly but just as engaging for adults, my family highly recommends this film!
Great family movie April 24, 2008

This movie is kind of a cross between The Princess Bride and a very clean Monty Python. It's great for the entire family.
