1/10
I really hate this movie.

For some reason when I was little, my mom put this on for me to watch all the time. I don't know why. This movie is terrible.

The story basically goes like this - a princess's mother dies, then the king decides to marry her (even though they're father and daughter). A fairy godmother comes to the princess, tells her that you can't marry your father, then grants her a couple of wishes. The princess falls in love with a prince and he with her because the other is pretty. After a series of dumb and convoluted events (including what I'm assuming is a dream sequence they both experience - its not very clear what that montage was) they live happily ever after? I'm assuming. After the initial events this story gets a little muddy. I'm pretty sure there's a scene with a helicopter (or maybe it was some kind of magical transporter thing - I'm not rewatching this thing to check) despite most of this movie taking place in what looks to be medieval times.

If you are a fan of movies, logic, entertainment, or if you're just sane, then I'm sure you can see why this movie's "story" is terrible.

Ignoring that, the sets and costumes are barely serviceable, the acting is bad, and the sound design is atrocious.

Do not watch this movie, except maybe out of curiosity.
