![]() ![]() ![]() Aidan McArdle(Slannen the Elf) is wonderful comic relief each and every time he appears, as is Lucy Punch as the horrid Step-Sister and chief fan-girl(shudder). Joanna Lumley (as the evil Dame Olga) and Minnie Driver(one of her best yet, possibly only beaten by her surprisingly good turn in "Phantom of the Opera") are also great in their minor roles, providing colorful characters and not just filling in screen time. Only that the wonderful and memorable lines come mainly from the more evil characters. That is not to say that the two leads(Anne Hathaway and Hugh Dancy) are not bright and funny in their parts, they are. ![]() I have seen this movie twice and both times the audience was literally buoyed by the fun of the movie, though I must say the best parts and lines come from Uncle Edgar(a deliciously evil Cary Elwes) and Heston the snake(the slimy voice of Steve Coogan is wonderful). ![]() And is therefore not to be taken seriously, it should be watched for the pure enjoyment of getting away from the daily humdrum. *If* they remember the opening lines of the movie this is a fairytale. I had so much fun watching this movie, a piece of light hearted fun that everyone can enjoy. ![]()
