Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone) and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true. Shelve it next to Stardust or Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
When a young princess, instead of being fully dedicated to her love, persists in running around like a tomboy and roaming the forests with her gang, and a young prince refuses to give up all his vices and mischief, an aquaphobic fairy takes their fate into her hands. The princess then falls in love with the prince, who declares eternal fidelity to her. When he however breaks this promise, the fairy turns him into a frog. With which the loyalty of the princess is being tested as well.
