Summary: Excellent Epic!
Review: Superb film! Well worth the 10 hours of viewing time. Great fairy tale for adults (some of the themes probably aren't too child-friendly). I recommend this movie highly--what a great escape from real-life!

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This movie is terrific! I first saw it on NBC last week,and after the 2nd part I ordered it off of the NBC website. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat,and you never know what will happen next! It keeps you guessing till the end! It all starts when Virginia Lewis finds a dog who was formerly a prince. Virginia and her father Tony follow the dog into another world known as the 9 kingdoms. There they are joined by Wolf, a half human-half wolf hybrid and they must find a magic mirror to get home. Anyone who likes fairy tales should watch this movie. But be warned: it does have a TV 14 rating.Don't watch this movie if you don't want to see the other 4 parts, because you will get sucked in!

Summary: Quite Simply...a pleasure
Review: The 10th Kingdom ranks as one of the more clever and certainly the most visually rewarding miniseries in many years. The idea was a tough one to pull off--after all, how do you mess with not just ONE classic fairy tale, but a whole slew of them! 10th Kingdom works because it treats these great fairy tales with reverence, wit, and good old fashioned panache; it combines these gems in a story that is fresh and very well-imagined. Kudos to the writers, who rarely displayed the kind of smug self-indulgence so common on tv today. The cast was also superb in every way, particularly Kimberly Williams, who lights up the screen with both her assured acting and pixieish charm. John Larroquette scores as well in his role, as does Dianne Weist as the recalcitrant Mother from Hell. Note the appearance of Warwick Davis (of Willow, Leprechaun fame) as Acorn! All in all, a fine, original spin on some timeless themes.Perfect for romantics, fantasy buffs, and ANYBODY that appreciates good entertainment on film.

Summary: Magic, fantasy, and the best romance to come along in years
Review: I watched all 5 nights of "The 10th Kingdom" on NBC and then orderd the video. It's a magical, compelling production. First, the script is excellent. Simon Moore has written a textbook example of craftsmanship. His characters develop over time, his dialogue is clever and always has a purpose, and every plot detail is well set-up and resolved. I never had the sense that I knew exactly what would happen or that anything was unbelievable or a "groaner". The love story sub-plot was beautfilly paced, highly-charged and compelling. But even better than the technical details of the script, I admire Moore's sense of invention. There were many original and delightful ideas in the screenplay, from the mushrooms singing "Shades of Pale" to aging fairy tale queens to the tongue-in-cheek hilarity of "Little Lamb Village". Wolf, in particular, was one of the most colorful and intriguing characters I've seen in some time. He begs comparison with characters like "Data" in Star Trek (though Wolf is more interesting). The production details were everything that was necessary to bring such a difficult special effects script to life. As in "Noah's Ark" and "Leprechauns", the effects were top-notch, surprisingly sophisticated for television. I also thought the casting worked well. I particularly liked Kimberly Williams, Scott Cohen, and John Larroquette (though I'm not typically a Larroquette fan). It's difficult in a short feature film to draw a story that has depth and weight, that really pulls you in like a good, long book. "The 10th Kingdom" does that. I haven't been as emotionally involved in a series since "I, Claudius". I'm 37 and a big reader. My step-daughter, who's 7, loved it just as much as I did. If "the 10th Kingdom" can please both of *us*, you'll probably like it too.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This was a wonderful movie! It held my usually non-television watching body spellbound to NBC all 5 nights. The characters are well defined, the relationship just terrific, and the special effects breathtaking! I think that the Singing ring was the best part! I will not regret watching it. I also will admit that I now have a crush on Wolf!Dee

Summary: If you want to escape into nostalgia, this is for you
Review: There's something special about The 10th Kingdom. Remember all those fairy tales you were read to as a kid? Well, they're back with a vengence. The creators of this movie really made an effort at recreating the magical feeling everyone gets when they listen to a great story for the first time. The 10th Kingdom is about Virginia Lewis and her father Anthony, who falls into a world where fairy tales are real and continue long after the words "happily ever after." The longer Virginia stays in this world, the more her life becomes a fairy tale, complete with a romance that blossoms between Virginia and her companion, Wolf. I swear, you can get by with just that and be happy.

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: I went into this series skeptical--I'm usually not a "made-for-TV" movie fan. But what a pleasant surprise! Fantastic settings, stunning effects, humourous writing (love the double entendres), and the actors give amazing performances--especially Kimberly Williams (Virginia), Dianne Wiest (the Evil Queen), and Scott Cohen (Wolf--the best role in the movie, and Cohen makes every second count). Sure, the trolls are annoying, and they've given Rutger Hauer a practically monosyllabic role, but on the whole this deserves a solid five stars. Do not miss it.

Summary: The 10th Kingdom
Review: The 10th Kingdom is a wonderful story. It is full of adventure, humor, romance, etc. You can't put it down! Everytime I'm about to watch the movie, I can't wait! I get really excited. The characters seem believable enough, and "Wolf" is especially funny. I also like the dog. (Not Prince Wendell.) The movie takes place on many scenes. My favorites were the towns and the forest.
