Hilarious script combined with the freshness of an amateur play. Everyone is obviously enjoying coloring outside the lines in this 'musical'. Actors playing several characters on a cardboard set. Ciderella, little Red Riding Hood (feeling the time ticking), prince Roderick, all struggling with their uncertainties. The bad stepmother and her spoiled daughters are drag queens. Little Red Riding Hood falls for the roughness of the Woolf hand something beautiful is blossoming between Prins Roderick and his servant Willy. Spiced with witty lines stolen form commercials, several tales intertwine. Wel deserved winner of the Film1 public award. Go see this movie, whether you are young or old.

fingerprintexpert1 January 2022A star studded award winning cast with a wickedly funny script. Bending all the gender rules and possibly a lot of other rules along the way.
So often I am blown away by pogrammes made for children. Alex and Gijs have Oscar worthy roles and Paris and Hilton. Sassier then their namegiver (and dare I say, better dancers) The low budget feel only adds to the quality and gives the whole production an amateur feel with professional quality. I loved it! -
ruud-3524 October 2010Releasing a theater piece as a film is valuable as long as it gives the theater piece more value when its filmed. In this case it doesn't. Yes the film is funny, watchable for almost every age, but it's never fantastic,it's never that you cant's stop laughing. For my daughter of 8 it was a first insight in a typical Dutch sense of humour, which was done 15 years ago much better in the weekly adventures of Theo and Theo. In fact one of the key roles of this movie is Theo from Theo and Thea.
Nice for a rainy Sunday afternoon and maybe internationally more liked because of the liberal way homosexuality is used, but not more than that. An 80 year old woman walked out the cinema with a smile, and said those good old days, where are they?
