Went into the movie theater completely blind without knowing anything about this film. Except for two star cameos and some surprisingly good Jim Henson puppets dropped in like 3 cherries on a turnip pie, this movie was little better than amateur theater.
The lack of buget was obvious, the story was dull, the acting hammy, and sets second hand. It was aiming for a Princess Bride vibe, but lacked the charm, pacing, and cinematography of that film. The witch and captain of the guard were the best of the bunch in this monkeyshine pantomime.
