Summary: A wonderfully entertaining surprise!
Review: I expected the worst from this TV-movie, but after catching bits and pieces of the first two nights, low and behold, I was hooked! Yes, there were some utterly goofy scenes, but the story line really did develope into a complex weaving of plot and it was enthralling enough to hold my attention, making it impossible for me to miss any more. Wonderful acting on the parts of Scott Cohen (Wolf), John Larroquette (Tony), and Kimberly Williams (Virginia)easily made up for the campiness of the trolls and any other short-comings of the film. Cohen exuded an irresistable charm-it's a shame that he did not get top billing for the show as did others with tiny parts such as Anne Margaret and Cameron Manheim.All in all, it was a great movie to curl up with, although perhaps a bit risque at parts to watch with the kids(although it was precisely those tidbits that helped to hold my interest). It makes me want to walk over to the park and start looking for the mirror.

Summary: Very good show
Review: This is a wonderfull tale of fantasy and legend. It blends many of the familiar childhood faerie tales together to form a remarkable world. there are moments in this show's 480 mins where they get a bit... um.. family(?sappy?) and times when the humor and subject matter is suggestive. Overall, however, it has a great story, a well acted characters, especially on the part of Wolf (fantastic)and Kimberly Williams, and is beautifuly set. Should be enjoyable to viewers of all ages.

Summary: The 10th Kingdom Rules!
Review: The 10th Kingdom is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It is full of great fairy tales and adventure. Trolls, evil queens, magic, and haunted forests, fill the movie with excitement. The scenery is magnificent. The forests are huge and the castles are very detailed. It has a great story line and great actors. I have watched it on NBC for the last couple nights (I want to know what happens and I will watch th eend of it until it is over)and every night it is on, I get excited! Once you turn it on, it's hard to turn it off. I think NBC should put it on again. The end is always suspenseful and that makes you want to watch it more. The 10th Kingdom is the BEST movie I have ever seen!

Summary: A Surprisingly Sleeping 'Beauty'
Review: I bought this miniseries on a whim. For less than $13, what's to lose? Absolutely nothing -- this is a totally engaging and wonderful tale. From the hilarious predicament brought on by the magical dragon dung wishing bean, to discovering an escape clue in a dungeon written by one of the Grimm Brothers, to the heart-wrenching gift of Snow White's rosebud, this movie is a constant delight for lovers of fairytales and for those who still want to believe that no trollish trial, sorcerous snare or mortal misjudgement exists that can't lead an unlikely hero -- or heroine -- to a "happily ever after." With a little luck, that is, and a helping hand from some unlikely friends. Like a repentant "wolf" who must frequently fight his urge to eat toothsome children or shepherdesses. Or a pampered prince who learns how to be a king thanks to a spell that turns him into a golden retriever. It is perhaps not surprising that this film was more popular in Great Britain than in some other locales. It's witty without being boringly slapstick, whimsical without being maudlin, mature without being embarassingly crude, wise without being conceited or preachy. Like the old fairy tales, it offers levels of appreciation and enjoyment that go beyond the instant gratification of seat-shaking special effects or in-your-face social moralising. This film, little spoken of and available at an incredibly low price, is in my opinion a genuine "Sleeping Beauty." If you love fairy tales, I suspect you'll find yourself enthralled with this "continuation" of the old stories. Consider doing yourself the favour -- you'll be as safe with this one as you would be in a "uh...uh... a brick pig house." "Ratings" Caveat: There are two or three examples of mildly "grown-up" language and situations in the course of the film. It's not an infantile "children's story" to bemuse the very young. But then it's not "Snow White: A Tale of Terror" either.

Summary: Family Fun for All
Review: What a great movie, even with this epic being nearly 7 hours long on DVD. You'll find it hard to stop watching the adventures of Tony and Kimberly as they make their way through the 9 Kingdoms with Wolf and The Prince. There is comedy, magic, romance, drama and all the rest for every one. Safe for every one to watch with only a very few mild words and violent acts that might cause a few parents concern for the very young. Entertaining on all levels, even for myself a middle aged male into war flix. I found myself fixed on this movie only getting up to change the 3 disc it takes to watch it. While I question a couple of the casting choices like headlining Ann Margret for such a small role, overall the acting was well above par for a made for TV movie. Even the FX and make-up were above average for a made for TV film. This film did not find a fan base until after it aired, which due to poor ratings on TV there may never be a another one which without giving anything away the movie hinted at that near the end. Recommended for raining day or winter watching as it is a all day view, and a number of fan sites have spung up with fanzine stories that carry the movie on well past the ending.

Summary: My all time favorite movie.
Review: I hope everyone sees this movie, but it's not for young kids. This is my top five favorite movie of all time. All the fairy tales built into one. It will make you laugh and cry. I watch this movie again and again when I can see it all the way through. If anyone knows of a sequel drop me a line. I like the wolf the best. I think they should make a real life 10th Kingdom maze similar like the movie.

Summary: ABSOLUTELY ENCHANTING!
Review: I haven't purchased this DVD yet, but I just finished watching it on tv. I just have to say, "I LOVE THIS MOVIE." Everything about it is wonderful, including the amazing cast, beautiful scenery, and gorgeous music. The cast is great, and my favorites are Kimberly Williams, who did a phenomenal job, John Larroquette, who was hilarious, Rutger Hauer, a personal favorite and always will be, Dianne Wiest, a wonderful "evil queen," and Scott Cohen, the adorable "wolf." I can't say enough about this movie. After seeing it, I wish I could live there, surrounded by all the beauty and fantasy. The song at the beginning "Wishing on a Star" is so beautiful, and I keep singing it over and over to myself. This movie is for all ages, a gem, and I think whoever watches it will truly enjoy it! The story is magical, and mixes every component, such as humor, a little suspense, fantasy, romance, and some action. I sincerely hope there will a be a sequal!
