Film adaptation of the H. Ch. Andersen's adaptation of the film has been met with conflicting reactions. While some appreciate its unpretentious fun and fairy tale atmosphere, others criticize its amateurish treatment and outdated message.
Negative Reviews:
- CSSF Users: Many users rate the film low, with comments like "garbage!" and "hell with princess". They criticize the acting, the songs, the plot and the overall amateurishness of the film.
- Alden_Larson (CSFD): He finds the aforementioned adaptation unnecessary and boring, with a story that will not engage adults and appeal to children, but it could be shorter and brisker. Rated 4/10.
- DadysGirl (CSFD): Compares the film to an amateur theatrical performance and praises only Pavel Křížek. He dislikes the songs and says there are few funny moments. He rates it 2/5.
Positive reviews:
- VelkyMrB (CSFD): I when he reviews the film as a "blockbuster" and "surreal spectacle", he emphasizes that it's more with humor and hyperbole. He appreciates the "charm of amateurism", the fun songs and details like the flour-painting and the end credits. Rated 10/10.
Conclusion:
Princess at the Pea divides viewers into two camps. If you're looking for unpretentious fairytale entertainment for the whole family, you probably won't mind the film. But if you have more discerning tastes, you'll probably be disappointed.
