Summary: Absolutely Excellent!
Review: This movie has got to be one of the best I have ever seen, on TV, or in theaters.
The story is AMAZING and the cast pulls it all together beautifully. The adventures as Virginia, Her father Tony, Wolf, and Prince have as they travel the 9 kingdoms looking for a magic mirror to get back home always keeps you on your toes. There is never a dull moment. If the magical qualities of this movie do not entertain you, then the romance that blossoms between Virgina and Wolf surely will.
Speaking of Wolf, Scott Cohen did such a fantastic job of pulling this character off! I could definitely see how the wrong person cast in this role could've turned the whole movie into a bad experience. However, Scott Cohen is so vibrant and full of life that he illuminates every scene he is in.
The entire cast was phenomenal and perfectly portrayed their characters various nuances. This movie is great for the entire family as it is full of action, romance, magic, and will surely keep you captivated through its entirety.
I, for one, am glad it was not a 2 hour film, as I really wanted it to keep going!

Summary: Perfect! The Best TV Miniseries Yet
Review: This movie was so incredibly well done. The cast was superb , the special effects were so unbelievable , the settings were magical and gorgeous. I'm a 13-yr-old girl, and this movie captured my soul and left me craving for more. Wolf , played by Scott Cohen , was the best part of the entire movie. He had class, was able to pull of a truly magnificent part of a half man half wolf. Not to mention that he was so handsome. The story takes place in the 9 kingdoms, you'll have to watch it to understand that better, formed by Cinderella, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood. Virginia, a girl from Manhatten, is pulled into the kingdoms by traveling mirrors and is sent on a journey with her father, Wolf, and a dog that can talk ( I know it sounds cheesy but you have to watch it, really ). Throughout the journey their goal is to retrieve the mirror so they can return to New York, but as they come closer to the mirror it becomes harder to get. They have to enter contests and raise money to get a grasp on the mirror, but all the while a magical love story unfolds between Wolf and Virginia, making it more complicated. The movie progresses and mystery, magic, fantasy, love, humor and more are woven together to make one of the best movies I myself have ever seen. If you buy one movie at this site, make it this one, you'll never regret it.

Summary: Step Into My Mirror
Review: Incredible...the adventure begins before you know what hits you, and keeps you enthralled (in the best fairy tale sense) until the end. You find yourself saying "Be careful what you wish for...you might get it!" to some of the characters, and the film's creators even managed to get in some sly comments about ecological practices, and make you wonder about the diversity of life in the Nine Kingdoms, and how it came to be. The masterful way the "real" story blends with the fairy tale, and the hidden horror underneath the stardust that you are never given full view of until the very end makes this a fantasy that will live in your heart far longer than the monolithic grandeur of The Lord Of The Rings. This movie proves that heroes can come from those we reject, and their victory will surprise not only us, but themselves as well.

Summary: Absolutely Brilliant!
Review: I recently purchased this DVD and was completely satisfied with it! The movie is well written by Simon Moore and well-casted from the trolls and various Fairy Tale characters to Scott Cohen as Wolf and Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Virginia. The romance is absolutely adorable and Hallmark concluded the movie with an opportunity for a sequel! Bring in the sequel!! I'm looking forward to learning about Virginia and Wolf's lives after the first movie and what problem interrupted their lives back in the kingdoms! John Larroquette was hilariously witty as Antony and Dianne Wiest was an outstanding Evil Queen. The woman def. has the chilling heart affect! On the negative side, I'd say I prefer Daniel Lapaine's voice through the golden retriever than I did as him playing Prince Wendell but that is my only grievance. Virginia and Wolf's romance is to be greatly envied and Wolf's charismatic attempt to improve himself for Virginia is irresistable. Hee! BUY THIS MOVIE! Also, write to Hallmark Entertainment to add support for the making of the sequel!

Summary: Amazing, enchanting.... fantasy at it's best!
Review: This is the kind of movie you could watch over and over, and still discover new things every time! If you love fantasy, do not miss out on this move! The length may turn some people away, but don't be intimidated! You will wish it was longer. For anyone who has ever wished to live their own fairy-tale story, this is for you. Virginia Lewis, a waitress from New York, thinks nothing interesting will ever happen to her. That's before she meets Prince, a prince-turned-dog from a different dimension! She follows him back to his world, and the story begins! Kimberly Williams is great as Virginia, John Larroquette the perfect Tony, Dianne Wiest as the evil queen is so scary, Scott Cohen is dashing and handsome as the conflicted wolf, and Camryn Manheim as Snow White--- good choice! Give this movie half a chance, and you will want to visit the world of 'The 10th Kingdom' again and again!

Summary: Fairy tales are real....
Review: Virginia and her father Tony aren't living the most happy life in NYC. Virginia's a waitress and Tony's a janitor. But everything changes the day Virginia accidently runs into a dog on her bike. She thinks it's a normal dog but it's really Prince Wendelle, a Prince from a magical land where the 9 kingdoms are. A place where fairy tales are real and where Snow White Cinderella and 3 other great women used to live, and create 9 kingdoms where everyone lives happily ever after. When Virginia Tony and the Prince are chased through the mirror by three trolls and a man that's half man half Wolf who's fallen in love with Virginia and was sent to destroy them all. What dose this magical land have in store for the four? Will Vigrinia ever love Wolf back? And what dose the evil queen have up her sleve? I've always loved Fairy tales and the world of fantasy and this movie didn't dissapoint me. The trolls and Wolf are toatally funny! And you can't help admiring Virginia. All she ever wanted was something special to happen to her and this is what she got! If you love magic you'll find this enchanting!

Summary: When Fairy Tales Combined
Review: This is a great movie. It's a wonderful way how they were able to connect a lot of the fairy tales together. The characters are very interesting and the backgrounds are beautiful. I also like the music background. The story line really flows with the rest of the movie.

Summary: Not really a fantasy
Review: I love fantasy and magic realism. However, this is not really a fantasy film. It's a frenetic series of adventures featuring a group of bumbling characters who somehow manage to do things right by accident once in a while. The humor is slapstick. The atmosphere is not magical. It's a predictable type of Hollywood film dressed up with a bunch of special effects, plus special side jokes for New Yorkers. And it's tiresomely, tediously long. I could barely get through it. OK, the special effects are sophisticated and expensive, but repeat, this is not really a fantasy.

Summary: Wide Open Ending
Review: The mini-series/movie was really good. I thought that it was a typo when I saw how long it is. It is that long, though. Being that long, it tends to drag a bit, but overall, it was a wonderful story. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that the ending was left wide open and there is no sequel in site. This is supposedly based off of a book, but I had a heck of a time finding it online, let alone buying one.

Summary: PERFECT!!!! A MUST SEE!
Review: When my mother first rented this movie for me i have to say i was a bit disgusted. I hadn't even watched it and I was mad because it wasn't a cartoon. I began watching the move that night before i went to bed. Within 5 minutes I was captivated. This movie just grabbed me and pulled me in. The cast did an amazing job and the special effects astounded me. You must see this movie. I stayed up the whole 7 1/2 hours watching this movie on a school night. It is that good! I used to rent the movie all the time before my local video store sold it. I then got the DVD and it amazed me even more. The DVD is definetley the best way to view this masterpiece film.
