About
You may enjoy this if you like broad old-school slapstick and fairy-tale role reversals, especially alongside The Glass Slipper; Not for you if you dislike mugging, slow stretches, or dated attitudes.
Pros: clever fairy-tale twist; memorable comic set pieces; warm, goofy charm | Cons: uneven pacing; overlong gags; dated sexist elements
