Forest Fairies

I would love to express how truly dreadful this film is in words, but words fail me! We wondered if it might have been intended to be a spoof, but then it lacks any humour.

Even my 8 year old daughter who loves anything to do with fairies or princesses lost interest after 15 minutes and started playing a game instead.

Acting - dire. (And we were absolutely gobsmacked to find Simon Callow making an appearance. No wonder he didn't want to be credited). Only the horse was believable!

Story line - primary school children have written better plots with more well developed characters.

Everything - absolutely everything about this film sucks: the cinematography, the special effects, the music, the acting, the casting.

You can see from my review history that I really hate leaving negative reviews. But if I can spare any other parents or children the ordeal of having to watch even 2 minutes of this then I feel it is my duty.

Its as if a high schools thespian club won some contest to produce a movie with semi professional equipment.

Apparently I have to write more about it to reach 150 characters to post this review.

I wasn't expecting this to be good, as from the trailer I could see it was low budget - bad blue screen effects, not great acting. But I'm so glad I watched it, the story was charming, it was slow to get into, but by the end was magic, and the ending was beautiful.

This film has a beautiful story line of love, friendship and magic! I would personally recommend the film for ages of about 14 upwards because it isn't really an animated movie or children's film. This is because it contains a fair amount of scenes which younger children may not understand fully. An example might be a scene about business/finance.

I wouldn't say if you just 'love fairies' to watch the film. However, I would say if you like drama, a little romance and a little fantasy/magic then this is a good film for you.

I loved the different personalities and outfits of each fairy! The story has a nice twist at the end too, however I won't spoil it. You will have to watch it to find out. Mostly its believable and even if some of it isn't, it is supposed to be a fairy tale! You might just find yourself believing in fairies after watching this if you don't already!

That's why I enjoyed the film, the story not to far fetched to be believable!

I hope you can enjoy watching this as I did!
