It's romantic but not sappy and it's funny though not slapstick, it's whimsical yet somehow realistic. This movie managed to balance everything out perfectly and the acting didn't have to save, but it was a bonus. The actors become these characters and break any mold you might already have set in your head about the few famous actors. Watch it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It is fun to see how many bit parts you can recognize (hint: watch for Andy Serkis). As a high-quality, made-for TV movie, it is almost family-safe, though there are a few elements that would raise the rating to PG or PG-13. It seldom feels made for TV. Rent, don't buy, and be ready to explain to the kiddies. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

3 out of 3 people found this review helpful I was born in Egypt and I grew up with the arabian nights stories, they were told on the radio, on tv series, and last but no least, by my dad. There are hundreds of them, and this brings up the most famous ones, including Ali baba and the 40 thieves and Alladin. This is a nice treat for anyone who likes the original Arabian nights. I thought it was well made and told. But basically, anyone who likes fantasy, from 10th kingdom to Lord of the rings, in my humble opinion, will find this enjoyable. I think I gave it 4.5 stars because I would have liked it to be a bit longer with a bit more details.. but I would definately watch it again.WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
