Summary: this movie was SUPERB
Review: This movie was terrific. I love fairy tales and there aren't many imaginitive movies like this one out anymore. It just makes me think "wow if only I could enter a fairy world... I absolutely love fairy tales and I dont believe I will ever stop. On tv the movie was kind of irritating cause i would miss something somebody was saying and i missed the beginning of the mini series so I searched all over for the movie to rent or borrow and I finally found it. This movie was ten times more enjoyable to watch on video. I love this movie its grand!

Summary: Wishing on a Star....
Review: After I watched The 10th Kingdom on NBC when they replayed it in August, I was totally hooked. It was a wonderful series, it had everything. It had romance, adventure, drama, suspense, and a little twist of comedy. The cast was wonderful, but the greatest of them all was Wolf, played by the talented and beautiful Scott Cohen. I couldn't get enough of The 10th Kingdom, and anyone who likes adventure and romance will love this! Be warned, once you watch it, you'll never be able to get enough!

Summary: Tenth Kingdom is so phat!
Review: The Tenth Kingdom was indescribable. I saw an advertismant for it on telivision and the moment I saw that advertisment, I put February 27 on my calendar. I was so excited I could hardly speak that day, and with those eight exciting words (And now, NBC prodly presents: The TENTH KINGDOM) I was put into a world of what seemed to be the nine kingdoms. Through the breathtaking introduction inwhich Manhatten is turned into a fairyland, through the transformation of Prince Wendall, through the plotting of the queen, the mirror transportation of Virginia and Tony, all the way to the point the evil queen told the dog "I shall finish her work, and destroy the house of White forever, and pity the fool who tries to stand up to me!" I was officially hooked. Scott Cohen, who portrayed a werewolf who guides Tony and Virginia along their quest, stole the show with his humourous antics. Camryn Manhym portrayed a Snow White like no other, but was not exactly what I would call the fairest of them all. The trolls were the only things in the ENTIRE movie that dissapointed me. Their acting ability, excellent I must say, but the way their costumes and make-up was done (them and Clayface the Goblin)was inexcusable. With all the other special effects, I would expect something a bit better then an ungly person in chainmail. But none the less, the movie was one of the coolest I've even seen, and I would suggest it to anyone, it brings out the child, the fairy-tale lover, in all of us. It makes one forget their problems for a breif(i'm sorry, any word but BREIF should be used in there)for a long 7 hours in which we can return childhood and hear a new fairy tale that noone but Hallmark Entertainment could dream of. So if you ever find it to be a Friday night, with no plans, and have no clue what movie to get.........

Summary: The 10th Kingdom
Review: I think this is one of the best movies ever made but not as good as the Wizard Of Oz. This is the best movie ever it is a bout a girl named Virginia a new yourk waitress. befriends a dog thats is acutually a bewitched prince from a parallel universe. their two worlds cloide into one fantastic adventure. Virginia, he father and the dog,prince are transported into the nine kingdoms. Along the way, Virginia falls in love with Wolf half man half wolf they meet up with Cinderella, now White ans some pretty stupid and evil trolls. So if this sounds good so far rent it at a movie store or buy it also you should read the book that is really good.

Summary: Amazingly great for a made for tv movie!
Review: I had the chance to view this fine, magical, movie after its initial first run on television. It is a comedy, adventure, fantasy, and suspense wrapped into one. Kimberly Williams (of Father of the Bride) fame is an excellent choice to portray the heroine. John Laroquette is also a comedic delight as her father and sidekick. This I can say is an interesting version of many childhood stories wrapped into one. But I warn you make sure you watch the entire movie or you will get lost because at times it is confusing but hence amusing. If you want a good family film that will keep the little ones entertained I must recommend this. Hey! Adults can watch it too! NOTE: Its nice to see another than a skinny frail woman play Snow White, done exisitely but the ravishing, fullfigured, beauty Camyrn Manheim of "The Practice" show.

Summary: a fun fun movie
Review: One of the most creative movies I've seen in a while. Each part of the 10th Kingdom plays on fairy tales. I've enjoyed my time watching this movie.

Summary: Bewitching...
Review: The first time I saw this film, it touched something inside of me, and held tightly. The story is fascinating, something I believe Tolkien or Grimm would be proud of, the characters enchanting, the sets bewitching, and the score haunting. It has enough action-adventure for any film lover, with a mixture of romance and deviltry thrown in for good measure. And the climax between good and evil left me with my mouth hanging open. It's a great movie! I would have preferred a couple of changes here and there, but altogether, it's an entirely bewitching saga that teaches us the importance of forgiving and forgetting, with some special effects and hilarious moments on the side.

Summary: An absolute delight
Review: Knowing how the Emmy nominations are made, I'm not in the least bit surprised that all The 10th Kingdom was nominated for was 'OUTSTANDING OPENING SEQUENCE'. I'm pleased that it was nominated and I do believe it deserves to win, but why am I not surprised it wasn't nominated for Outstanding Mini-series or any of its actors nominated for anything at all? 1) It's not an established and well-known story. 2) It's not a true story. 3) It's not short enough to hold the average attention span. What is it? In a word, 'different'. All hail the mighty Simon Moore, unafraid to create something that contains disturbingly dark events, and combine them with something so sickeningly sweet that you're afraid your teeth will fall out from such sugary goodness. But how about an intro... WARNING! CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST PART! Virginia Lewis is a waitress who works on the edge of Central Park. Still living with her father, Tony - a janitor - she has pretty much come to the conclusion that her life will always be boring. Nothing exciting has ever happened to her. She has no romance in her life, and seems to face said life with an attitude that it's something to get through rather than something that should be enjoyed. Meanwhile... Two hundred years after the reign of such well-loved Queens as Snow White, Cinderella, and the Lady Rapunzel, dark times cover the 9 Kingdoms. Happily ever after didn't last as long as everyone expected. After being held in Snow White Memorial Prison for seven years, the Evil Queen escapes and promptly turns her stepson - Prince Wendell, who is soon to be crowned King - into a dog. Fleeing in dog form, Prince crashes into a mirror which - unknown to him - is a travelling mirror. The mirror activates and seeing no other way out, Prince leaps through... ...and finds himself in The 10th Kingdom. Otherwise known as New York. Quickly bumping into a bike-riding Virginia, both of them crash to the ground, unconscious. Back in the 9 Kingdoms (specifically The 4th Kingdom), The Evil Queen is determined to catch Prince at any cost. As well as sending three Trolls after him through the mirror, she enlists the help of a prisoner who is half-man, half-Wolf, and always hungry. But things are not always as they seem...or not for long. Thus ends the introduction. Intrigued? I hope so. Not intrigued? Fair enough. To be able to watch this and enjoy it, you have to have a good appreciation of the absurd. If you have that, you'll love it. Let's talk characters: Virginia Lewis: Portrayed by Kimberly Williams, best known as the daughter from The Father of The Bride movies with Steve Martin. This is her story, and it's an understandable and well-portrayed role. Essentially she's not a likeable character, but she's someone we all associate with and understand. We've all been where she is now. Tony: Greedy, put upon, inconsiderate, laconic. But he's funny. Really. Brilliantly portrayed by John Larroquette, he has just the right amount of humour to make him likeable - not to mention the dose of reality he brings to the frankly bizarre events surrounding him. Along with other things, he plays the part of 'the audience' - just as things get a bit too weird, he cracks some line that the audience will agree with and laugh at. The Evil Queen: Brrr. Dianne Wiest. Oooo. Just that bit too evil to be that which separates the good and the bad. Killer rings, too. The Huntsman: Rutger Hauer rocks. I think that's all we need to say. The Troll King: Ed O'Neill. Al Bundy in make-up, and about as likeable. But that's the point. Saving the best for last... Wolf: Scott Cohen. The 10th Kingdom is Virginia's story, but if anyone makes it their own story it's Wolf. Stealing absolutely every scene he's in, this is a man who ACTS for every single second of his screen time, and then some. Child-like, enthusiastic, enjoying life with an effort that is a joy to watch, acting on all of his instincts as soon as they strike, desperate to be a good person but unable to resist his wolf nature to tie people up and eat them. This is, ladies and gentlemen (pigs and sows, rams and ewes), an award winning performance. Forget the Emmy awards. This man has cultivated a huge following in an incredibly short amount of time. I've forced many of my friends to watch The 10th Kingdom (all seven and a half hours, and yes - they are still talking to me), and though differing in overall opinions (some loved it, some thought it was too romantic, some thought it just daft), all of them agreed that the best thing about it is Wolf. In their words he is "funny", "gets all the best lines," and "carries the entire thing." Whether or not I agree with their statements is beside the point: this actor and this character made an impact, and continue to do so. Overall... The 10th Kingdom is far from perfect. The Troll King's children are unbelievably irritating. It does drag in places. Kimberly Williams makes me laugh when she cries. But it's not that far from perfect. If you've always enjoyed fairy tales, if you've always enjoyed romance, if you've always enjoyed humour, if you've always enjoyed things that are just a bit daft...watch The 10th Kingdom. And e-mail me. We'll talk.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I had the pleasure of watching this mini-series in parts on NBC, and it just hooked me. I had to borrow my friends video and watch it. It's become an obsession now! It's one of the most enchanting stories mixed with everything! There's action, drama, romance, evil, comedy, excitement, and anything else you can think of. I could probably even show this to my dad and he'd say it was pretty good. It's long, but it keeps you hooked. Definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking to fall in love with entertainment all over again.
