William is a little lost. He’s not sure where his life is
supposed to be going. When his friend drags him to a ball and he meets the
strange princess, however, his life begins to take a definite direction.
Although the story told within Princess: A Modern Fairytale is good on paper, the film doesn’t
really hold up to the possibilities. Even for a TV film.
The CGI was ridiculous. Charmed
started in 1998 and had plenty of mythological/magical creatures in it. Even
without the technology of today, they made their creatures so much more
believable than this film did. Perhaps the director believed the terrible
graphics would add a campy charm to the movie. They were very wrong.
On top of that, the acting was stiff and unfortunate. None
of the actors really pulled off their parts, but the worst was definitely Nora
Zehetner (Maron, Heroes, Grey’s Anatomy).
At times she looked like a marionette with no joints carved into her limbs.
Children should enjoy watching this ABC mess, but their
parents might find it growing old very fast.
I would like to state that if this were a book, I would
happily read it. I bet it would be amazing.
