Better Than Expected!, 4 July 2002
10/10
Author: scharbiebarbie from New York, USA

I rented this movie because I knew someone in it. I wasn't expecting much because I usually don't on movies I've never heard of, but this one was good. Director Paul Davids does a good job of coming up with an enjoyable fairy tale story that should appeal to almost anyone. Sometimes the acting can be over the top and I noticed that the actor who played Van Gogh had some trouble with the accent, but in the end does a convincing job. I'm glad that Universal Pictures took a chance with a movie like this instead of some special effects ridden movie. Rent and enjoy
