![]() ![]() ![]() There is still a solid plot here despite the fact its predictable as hell. Every typical fairytale scenario has been slightly twisted and lampooned just enough to make it funny but not as an outright spoof. In short you could say this was an early live action version of the Shrek franchise but not as 'out there' with the fantasy. The unique element in this rudimentary idea is the comedy factor, a combination of spoof and slapstick both verbally and visually. There are sidekicks, magicians, evil henchmen, knights, places of peril and the odd oversized creatures. A young dashing hero who was thought to be dead must save his true love from an evil Prince in his castle. When the film came out it had moderate success and has since gone on to be become a bit of a cult, yet I'm not entirely sure why in all honesty.īased on a novel of the same name the story is the quintessential fairytale fable. The whole production has that silly visual humour that most would associate with Mel Brooks.although not as strong. ![]() You can clearly see this is a Rob Reiner film in every sense. ![]()
