Summary: Enjoyment for everyone
Review: I got this DVD because it was cheap, and long. I have to say it was not what I exspected after 30 min. I loved it. It is a light hearted enjoyable Fantasy-Adventure-Comedy for the whole family. My friends and I watched an hour a night, and we all loved it. The only guy I see who didn't love it is the idiot who thought it wasn't realistic enough for his taste and gave it one star. Everyone else gave it five. P.S. I know its a long
shot, but I hope for a sequel.

Summary: Loved this movie!
Review: I watched this when it originally aired on NBC two years ago and it seemed like I was lost in a fantasy world myself for that week. When it finally ended I felt rather sad, like I lost my family. I couldn't wait to get it on DVD so I could watch it over and over again! If you want a serious fantasy film look elsewhere this is more of a comedy. Mixing a mordern day new yorker girl and her father in fairy tale land was a great idea.
The whole cast was great, but the standouts were Dianne Weiest who gave an excellent performance as the Evil Stepmother and Scott Cohen who was absolutely charming, or should I say "Scrumptious", as Wolf. So hear I am almost 2 years later still hopelessly addicted to this movie and hoping for a sequal!

Summary: 10th Kingdom captivating, extremely entertaining
Review: "The 10th Kingdom," starring veterans John Larroquette (TV's "Night Court" and "The John Larroquette Show"), Dianne Weist ("Bullets Over Broadway" and "Edward Scissorhands"), Ann-Margret ("Grumpy Old Men" and "A Streetcar Named Desire"), Camryn Mannheim (TV's "The Practice") and newcomers Kimberly Williams ("Father of the Bride" and TV's "According to Jim"), Scott Cohen (TV's "Gilmore Girls" and "NYPD Blue"), and Daniel Lapaine, is one of the greatest masterpieces of all tv miniseries ever made. You can watch this movie for an hour a day for a week and still not be done with it! I have watched this movie at least 20-30 times and my VHS tapes have started to fade, so I had to order another copy. "The 10th Kingdom" follows a very interesting story plot and was shot on location in 6 countries (the United States, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany) on three continents (Australia, Europe, and North America) and the backdrops are captivating. I recommend this video over any other you could ever buy.

Summary: WOW!
Review: I loved the movieand think eveyone should atleast give it a chance. At first I thought; Ten hours! Wow . Then I wanted to see it again. I realy don't see any thing to stop kids from watching this movie because they don't understand it. All they know is she is going to have a baby at the end and they've most likly heard of someone being preagnent before. So I would strongly recogmend this movie

Summary: I'VE GOT TO GIVE THIS MOVIE TEN OUT OF TEN!
Review: An excellent movie concerning what happens when two modern day New Yorkers find themselves trapped in a fairy tale land. They find themselves facing an evil queen, her merciless henchmen, a troll king and his 3 inept children (I am Bluebell the troll! Terrified throughout the Nine Kingdoms!) They are aided by a prince cursed to be a dog and a reformed wolfman who acts as their guide through a hostile land as they try to find a magic mirror that will get them back home. All in all it's a wonderful movie which I first saw on a friend's VHS collection and liked it so much I bought the DVD as soon as I could find it. BUY IT NOW! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Summary: Wretched Tripe
Review: I love fairy tales. When I first heard the concept of this movie, I was very excited and borrowed my sister-in-laws copy. Ugh. It is horrible! If you just want to watch slapstick comedy mixed with weird sexual innuendos, anachronisms and bad acting, then by all means watch this movie. If, however, you prefer your fairy tales with a bit of intelligence, stay far, far away from The 10th Kingdom. If it were possible to rate something less than 1 star, I would. All I can say is "We will, we will shear you".

Summary: Don't Eat the Mushrooms!
Review: After buying this and watching it again I'll have to upgrade my review from a 4 to a 5. Although the trolls are ridiculous and stupid, they are still funny. And maybe the Witch and the Wolf are the only completely convincing actors, but everyone else is above mediocre. An excellent film overall. Quite enchanting.
I was a bit disappointed at the sexual content at the end. Wolf and Virginia have a little romp in the grass, which shows nothing and probably goes over children's heads, but you're going to have to explain why she has a baby in her tummy at the end. I would have been more impressed with the movie if it could have stayed moral to the end in true fairy-tale style. And when you first see the ending with Virginia and Wolf it says they do not live happily ever after and that upset me, but if you listen carefully it's essentially just saying that tragedies and trials come, but they're still together.
I especially loved the scene where you hear the song Lighter Shade of Pale and they eat the mushrooms, extremely entertaining, and any drug insinuations are not apparent to children. It is a movie worth seeing, more than once.

Summary: I'll be the naysayer, I guess.
Review: This concept had such potential -- people trapped in a fairy-tale world. I thought it looked great, and read these reviews, and thought, "Wow, that sounds neat!" Then it arrived. Oh, my goodness... words cannot fully describe what a piece of tripe it is. The effects were cool, granted, and on a very superficial level, it would have been an enjoyable film. But there were just too many STUPID STUPID things... like the CGI hearts in one scene (sooooo tacky), the trolls singing along to disco music and their very 3-stooges interaction, the terrible overuse of slapstick, the horrible "We will rock you" meets "Miss America" meets Dark Ages set design... oh, it was just too much. I sat through the whole thing, expecting -- no, hoping desperately -- that it would get better, but at the end, I felt only that I had lost 6.5 hours of my life I'd never get back. I think the real capper was a scene filmed somewhere in picturesque mountains... and they didn't bother to edit out the POWER LINES. If you think the Three Stooges, Looney Toons, and game shows are High Art, then this is a film for you. If you were expecting something even vaguely intelligent, though, stay far, far away from it. I'd love to sell my copy back, but apparently this one's not eligible -- too bad, as it's taking up valuable space in my life and I just want to get rid of it and forget what a horrible mistake I made in purchasing it.

Summary: Hey! Please read my review its great.
Review: This movie is the best. It has action, adventure, suspense, a few scenes not suttible for children under the ages of 4 or 5. But they would love the movie to. I just want to say that this is a great movie, I first saw it on T.v. (loved it!) then i bought on video, and now i bought a DVD player (Amazon.com has one on sale (...) so i bought the dvd version. If you like this movie, then you'll love the movie on CBS. The Real Jack and the Bean Stalk. ( if you live in Connecticut then CBS is on Channel 3. Hope you injoyed my review.
