A friend recently let me have a go at his DVD collection. One of those DVDs was a miniseries (one I apparently missed back in 2000) called The 10th Kingdom. It took me about 3 days to watch the whole thing (the box says the running time is 417 minutes, and it's in 3 discs), and I can say I overall enjoyed it. The acting was a bit hammy at times (one actor's completely overblown performance comes to mind), but a few scenes had ace performances going on.
Um, right, the premise. Okay, so imagine all the Grimm fairy tales from your childhood really happened. Okay, great, now fast forward a couple hundred years. The story starts when Snow White's grandson, Prince Wendell White, is turned into a dog by the obligatory Evil Queen. Now a dog, he escapes through a magic mirror into a new world-- our world. Central Park in New York, to be specific. He encounters a completely milquetoast young lady named Virginia, and her janitor father. He's being hunted by a group of trolls who are easily the worst things in the entire miniseries. Fun for the whole family ensues.
It's a nice thing to watch if you want to feel kinda kiddish, or if you have little ones at home you want to keep busy for 7 hours straight.
Parents be warned: the scenes with Little Bo Peep's descendant, Sally Peep (or as I like to call her, Jailbait Peep) are ridiculously sexual in nature.
