Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps

This movie is a beautiful parody, with a noticeable low budget, but extremely entertaining. A mix of 80's fairy tale adventure with a touch of Benny Hill nonsense. A movie for all the family, with a cute story and great dialogues and monologues. If you give it a chance and not compare it to your favorite blockbuster, you'll find it's a little gem.

And since I still have to write 200 more characters to my review to be admitted, I might as well say that I logged in to this site after years just so I could make this review because the amount of negativity in the reviews was bothering me. There. 600.

Man and Witch: The Dance of A Thousand Steps is an under appreciated masterpiece. It is a movie that knows exactly how cliche it is, makes fun of how cliche it is, and shows how fun it is to be cliche. From great main characters to great background characters, to a great setting, to great set pieces, to great writing, this movie feels to me like a cult classic in the making. It heavily calls back to the whimsical era of 80s fantasy, from The Princess Bride to The NeverEnding Story, deconstructing some of the more cliche tropes of 80s fantasy while still showing how fun fantasy can be to watch. I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a fantasy movie, romance movie, comedy movie, or just a movie with a happy ending.

Truly utterly a diamond in the rough a black Perl yet to be discovered a little piece of magic for everyone that is available and receptive to just enjoying a magical enjoyably fun movie experience filled with laughter irony fun love task and old school storytelling made in a marvel way to entertain and they so entertain so well wit a great narrator that makes the story perfect in so many ways it is as I said truly a b movie of the princess bride it's a love version of the never ending story that keeps it head held up high and will become a cult classic for the few of us that listen watch and understand it's truly marvellous.

It must be nice to have such good friends and crew members who all think this movie is a 10 and not one score under 10 given.

How did this movie get made?

Someone actually financed this garbage?

Good luck getting your money back.

The acting was beyond bad.

ChatGPT could have written a better script.

The directing, lets just not comment on that, I have nothing nice to say about that.

Hollywood is dead. Its that simple.

No more good ideas and even less talented writers / directors who can produce a descent movie these days.

For all those who gave it a resounding 10 out of 10, get your head examined. This movie was a train wreck and if you think this is worthy of a 10, clearly this is the only movie you ever watched in your life and never witnessed a well crafted, well written, well acted and directed movie.

Guys stop giving 10's.

Me, I got it. It's a self depreciating pantomime with a good budget.

I understand why there is a massive gap between the user reviews and scores. It's because you have to get what's going on and find that amusing, otherwise this is just a stinky pile of garbage.

The jokes were silly and funny and very British.

There was background visual gags that just added to the silliness.

Not only did I enjoy this Mickey take of a film, but I Loved it.

The cast including Mrs Doyle from Father Ted acted exactly as they should have done. Which is just go with the flow and don't take yourself or the role seriously.

Long and short is, if you watch the first five minutes and love it, you'll love it. Otherwise abort as you'll not get into it.
