Summary: Addictive
Review: I stumbled across this miniseries when it was on television. I was flipping channels and an image of a man being tried by a jury of sheep caught my attention--as I think it would for most people. I then rented the short version from the video store, but discovered that I would need my own copy, so I ordered the full movie from the NBC store. If you loved fairy tales as a child, this series is for you. It answers the question, "What happened next?" What happened after Snow White married the prince? What did the dwarves do after Snow White left them? The movie follows Virginia and Tony Lewis, who travel through a magic mirror to the Nine Kingdoms, where the Grimm Brothers fairy tales are all history, not fantasy. Virginia and Tony must travel through many of the kingdoms in pursuit of the mirror before they can return home. The spoofing of fairy tales is excellent, and the more familiar you are with fairy tales, the more you'll enjoy this series. It can be dark and violent, like all fairy tales, so I wouldn't recommend it for young children. Unlike fairy tales, there is plenty of humor to move the story along--an appearance by Ann Margaret as a 300-year old Cinderella who has apparently had magic surgery done, three bumbling trolls who believe Virginia to be a powerful witch because they return from the "10th Kingdom" (a.k.a. modern day New York) with a stereo that only seems to play "Saturday Night Fever" by "the brothers Gibb," and a sheep-song singing contest which features a very suggestive "Little Bo Peep" song and a very rousing "We Will Sheer You" that Queen is probably not too thrilled about. It's simply delightful IF you are a fan of fairy tales. Highly recommended.

Summary: cheesy
Review: This is the absolute cheesiest dorkiest movie ever made! I LOVED it! There is something about it. some of the lines are hilarious. You have to allow yourself to be taken in by the movie. You can't watch the movie as a snob. YOu can't be all: "well if anything in this movie is less than "cool" i will say how horrible it is." If you allow this movie to take you in, then you'll love it. There are a couple of problems with the movie...but come on, it's 7 hours long, how can mistakes NOT be made in a 7 hour long epic??? It's unfortunate that it was a ratings bust, but something this long could only be marketed as a miniseries or straight to DVD/VHS because no one will sit in a theatre for 7 hours! Gone with the Wind and Titanic were pushing it! So putting the movie on network television, they had to work within some confines, meaning it had to be "family appropriate" Considering that, they were able to weave in all the necessary elements, even the sexual elements between virginia and wolf. I saw parts of it when it came on television, and i really liked it, i remember thinking the trolls were the worst part though. I didn't get to see the whole thing...i don't think anyone in the country saw the entire thing on television. Then I rented it...upon renting it and seeing the whole thing, i actually like the trolls...they grow on you after awhile. Anyway....very cheesy, very dorky, but somehow the funniest greatest fantasy i've ever seen! (I got immensely bored with lord of the rings...it just took itself too seriously.)

Summary: TREMENDOUS!!
Review: i had never heard of the tenth kingdom before i saw it on amazon.com. but i went ahead and bought it because it looked and sounded like nothing i'd ever heard of before. this is a remarkable movie that lifts you into another world! i did not find any part of the movie boring or stupid. it was so entertaining, i forgot i was sitting in my house, i felt like i was there. my husband saw me watching it one time and he thought it looked so stupid. the next time i watched it, he was bored, so he sat down next to me and after 5 minutes, he was hooked. he couldn't believe it. now when we are trying to deceide which movie we want to watch, he always says, "let's watch the tenth kingdom!" Also, my sister and her husband are not into these 'fantasy' type movies, but i made them borrow it from me and they couldn't get enough. they watched the whole movie in almost one, constant sitting. this is truly one of my favorite movies. i wish there were more like this. any time i want to 'escape', i put this movie in. all you have to do is look at how many people gave this movie 5 stars on the reviews and that will tell you what a great movie it is. there are alot of great celebrities in this movie. JOHN LARROQUETTE is hilarious! he's my favorite character in the movie. i love his sense of humor and pessimism. GREAT, FANTASTIC MOVIE WITH LOADS OF SPECIAL EFFECTS, CREATIVENESS AND ENTERTAINMENT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! BUY IT NOW, YOU WON'T BE DISSAPPOINTED!

Summary: Better than I expected
Review: I was in love with this movie when NBC aired over a time of 3 days, and I still think its fun to watch. I was expecting something cheesy, and poorly acted, but what I got was a rich, colourful movie with a lot of cool special effects, romance, and fun bumps in the road. I really think this movie is great, especially after some of the lame fantasies cable TV tries to push out as masterpieces. You'll enjoy watching this, I know I have!

Summary: I adored this movie.
Review: One day I was looking at my local movie store, Blockbuster, and one of my friends said that he enjoyed the movie "The 10th Kingdom", but later on when I went back to the movie store to find a dvd to rent I noticed nothing was there so I decided to rent the movie one of my friends recommended. When I started watching it I had never heard of it and I had no clue as to what it might be. After I finished watching the first dvd I was absouloutely infatuated with it. It was excellent. The next day I watched Side B and C in the same sitting and I am not very capable of sitting there watching a movie for hours on end, (even *cough* Lord of the Rings, which I just adore the books) but when I watched The 10th Kingdom I was caught up and very impressed. It was EXCELLENT! I cannot imagine no one ever not being able to take pleasure in such a enjoyable movie. I recommend this to anyone, its pleasureable exciting and Wolf (Scott Cohen) steals the show. He is loveable sweet and throughly enjoyable to watch on screen. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Summary: Good, very good
Review: I was surprised at how well written the script for Tenth Kingdom was. It's intelligent, funny, and captures both the wonder and terror of real fairy tales. In other words, people die, and sometimes in an awful way, but also there is a kind of wisdom and moral that is also passed on despite bad events. Mention is made of the wonderful special effects. They're ok. Good enough (but I just saw Return of the King -- so I'm spoiled). But it's the script that wins you over (and the acting). You get the sense 10th Kingdom was shooting for some sort of series. Too bad, because it's far more intelligent than most stuff on TV. Hopefully its reputation will live on with the DVD. It deserves a following.
