I rented this film expecting from the reviews that it would be mildly diverting. In the event I found it laugh-out-loud funny: I have not laughed so much while watching a film for months if not years. And most of the time I was laughing with the film, not at it.
In more than one way this film was surprisingly similar to a film on the same subject which Bob Hope had made more than fifty years previously (Casanova's Big Night, 1954). In both cases the film is built around the same central joke, that Casanova's mere reputation as a great lover is enough to have every woman in Venice throw herself at him, including those who appear to be extremely respectable and virtuous, with precisely one exception - the woman he wants.
A young man looking for adventure and what ever comes his way breaches The Wall to find a magical kingdom. He is seduced by a beautiful woman who claims to be a captive princess. Later he finds a little gift at his doorstep. Yep the little tyke looks like its father.
Well Young Dunstan Thorn is unaware of his heritage and has a soft spot in his heart for a local girl, Victoria (Sienna Miller). He would do anything for her, even bring back a fallen star; this quest will take him to the other side of The Wall and we will go with him on the quest.
This quest reminds you of "The Walrus and The Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll, as we dive into adventure with the fallen star Yvaine (Claire Danes), a witchy woman (Michelle Pfeiffer), a flying pirate (Robert ... Read More:

Having seen most of Bernal's films, I've grown to like him greatly as an actor, thus explaining my motivation for picking this up. I think this is the first English speaking film Gael has done and that I've seen. On the first scene when he open his mouth I was taking aback because I wasn't use to him speaking English with an English accent to top it all off. I won't lie it took some getting use too; to me he sounded okay but it wasn't the best.
In this film his character is up for causing some mischief in this romantic thriller. Kit (Gael Bernal) plays a Brazilian immigrant living in London. He works odd jobs until he is provided a most fortunate opportunity. Carmen (Verbeke) moves to London to escape a troublesome past in Spain. Carmen falls in love with Barnaby ... Read More:

only about 10 minutes a year.even worse through the great years of the 90`s missing out whole meetings.as each one was covered on grandstand there is plenty of footage.all this dvd does is remind you of what it misses out from what used to be a great series.
