Sometimes it panders just a little bit too hard to the children watching, but these moments are rare, and ultimately the story is sharp, witty and well-told. Coyle and Foy make extremely entertaining leads, and the plot zips forward at a pace that makes it impossible not to get swept up in the fun of it all.

Thanks to Pratchett the plot is great and although it's fairytale it's damn great. As I recall all Pratchett's adaptations were among best eventhough they are "TV movies". Aside the story, the character of A.B. Dearheart has really stole my heart. Here I should also point out C. Foy contribution in her vivid impersonation. And her dirty talk to a horse.

First of all, I love Discworld books. Have not read this one though and found it very charming and warm. Coyle is so funny to watch in almost any context. A well executed and loyal adaptation and I'm looking forward to watch the other two.
