This epic 10-hour miniseries from the Emmy-winning writer of Gulliver's Travels was a ratings bust on television, but on video and DVD, where it can be enjoyed at one's leisure, it has a better chance to cast its magical spell. Kimberly Williams has never been more enchanting than as Virginia, a waitress who still lives with her janitor father (John Larroquette) and yearns for something exciting to happen to her. Her wish comes true when she and her father are transported from New York City into a dimension that, with apologies to Rod Serling, can only be called the Fairy Tale Zone; nine kingdoms populated by characters from fairy tales of yore. They team up with a dog who's really a prince--Wendell, grandson of Snow White--changed into canine form by the evil Queen (Dianne Wiest), who plots to usurp Wendell's throne. Father, daughter, and his royal dogness are relentlessly pursued through the nine kingdoms by the Troll King (Ed O'Neill) and his three bumbling and horrible children, and the conflicted Wolf (Scott Cohen), who is allied with the Queen but, with the aid of some Oprah-esque self-help books, tames his inner beast and falls in love with Virginia. The 10th Kingdom is a special effects extravaganza. There is indeed, as one character marvels, magic to behold here. But despite the Hallmark brand name and the presence of a grown-up Snow White (Camryn Manheim) and Cinderella (Ann-Margret), bewitched animals, magic mirrors, and trolls, this is not kid's stuff. It can get scary, surprisingly violent, and quite intense; you know, just like real fairy tales. --Donald Liebenson

 A fairy tale of epic porportions October 8, 2008
This movie mixed present day and fantasy quite well. You fall in love with the charactors and laugh at the situations they find them selves in. Great to watch over again alone or with someone new to the mini series. imaginative and captivating.
The scene where they are in the city of love is enchanting.
Aside from being quite long for one sitting.
 A must see September 27, 2008
I have seen this movie (all 7+ hours) probably 8 times! The Tenth Kingdom is full of imagination and fun, and keeps you wanting more after its over. I can't wait to find out if there will be a sequel, the characters are so intriguing that I find myself dying to know what happens to Virginia, Wolfe, and Tony! If you like feel good adventures and fantasy, I highly recommend The Tenth Kingdom.
Beautifully and Purposefully Cheesy! September 20, 2008
I think a lot of people may miss the fact that the corniest parts of the movie seem intentional and add to the fun. This movie isn't meant to be taken seriously! It's meant to be fun!
Great dvd to watch when you just want to relax, be entertained and not think about plot too much.
There are parts adults will like more and kids will like more.
The characters work well together and it's an adventure, love story, and fairy tale with some moral messages along the way. Hard to beat that!
Don't think it's appropriate for really young viewers, but think young teens, maybe even pre-teens, and their parents would both like. There are some sexual innuendos that parents should be aware of, and the scary scenes would probably be disturbing for kids under 8.
Excellent movie September 17, 2008
this is a good movie. for a family its 4 hours long maybee more. but this movie is fun. cuddle up under the blankets when u watch this movie it a fun movie made by Hallmark. I got it on VHS but the movie Quality is terrible because the put the whole movie on VHS & VHS 4 hour long dosent get good picture. buying it on dvd would improve the picture
 Fairytale land takes a hit September 8, 2008
This is a long children's fantasy movie with at time very uneven acting.
I think the witch mother-in-law may be the best acxtted part.
I really enjoyed the movie, but it seemed caught between a cartoon
and a Disney fairytale reenactment? The trolls are like none I've seen or heard of before. It has an alternate universe type plot with a mirror gateway
like the classic Alice in Through the Looking Glass.
I suppose the wolf can have his tail surgically removed in New York, ha, ha...
