I enjoyed this movie. I started watching with no expectations but found myself laughing out loud to some of the gags and twists towards the end. A truly enjoyable romp that got me away from modern day hassles for 90 minutes. It's refreshing to see a simpler lifestyle but still on a grand scale. I know this was based on an operetta but the singing parts were difficult to follow with the sound quality I watched and the absence of subtitles. The film could have gotten by without the musical element. I hate to leave spoilers in any review but I will give a slight hint...the character that you think has the most pointless role in the film actually has the strongest contribution and ties the storyline together perfectly with just one piece of dialogue.
