A pleasant surprise

"It is amusing that the one reviewer was turned off by the fact that this movie, The Fairy Princess, should have fairies in it. The movie is in fact fast-paced with the plot taking a new direction every few minutes. If you're bored by this, you should be playing video games. It's not at all predictable. I thought of several possible endings (and could give you one that would be better than the one they used).

Small children as well as grownups should delight in this film. It has a pleasant story. The casting, for a change, is good. The child is appealing. The father is okay. The fairy is quite appealing. In fact, the movie avoided all of the mistakes usually found in family fare.

The only reasons I withhold the highest rating are the scene at the school play where the midgets dance. It wasn't amusing and went on too long. And the rock music during the birthday party. It was inappropriate for this kind of film. Also, rock music at the end while the credits are passing, but you can stop the DVD at that point. Too bad, though, because good music at the end can be a nice cap for a pleasant experience.

Bottom line: don't miss adding this one to your collection. Even at regular price, it would be worth it. At this price, it's a steal.

Great Kids Movie

"Dazzle is a love story between a fairy and a human. A fairy falls in love with a young widower (whom happens to also be an accomplished author about fairies) and his young daughter. She actually goes through quite a bit to stay with him. I loved it (and no, it's because I love fairies although I admit that's a good part of it :D). This was a great family movie and although it did seem to drag at times, and was a bit cheesy here and there, all in all I enjoyed it. I actually missed the first few moments of this when I first watched it because it had already started when my Dad found it, but it was still pretty easy to figure out. The only thing that wasn't really explained well enough for my taste was the role of The Collector. I understood that he came to collect fairies when they stayed in the mortal realm too long, killing them in the process. What I didn't understand was his interest in Crystal, the fairy. I couldn't figure out if it was just the main she's a fairy and she has to go home thing, or if there was an extra element there. The dialogue pointed to an extra element that just wasn't fulfilled. This is a nice movie, that's a mite predictable at times and it really didn't explore all avenues that it could have. All in all an excellent kids movie that I actually enjoyed watching myself and loved adding to our collection of safe movies for the whole family."

"Good family movie, combines a fairy tale with real life. If you get into fairy stories with plenty of magick, you'll like this."

"What a wonderful movie. Kept my interest all the way through with no violence, sex, or foul language. We need more of these!"
