The characters in this film are very interesting but the story is extremely confusing. Apparently the script was adapted from a play and the film feels like a play for the most part. Some plot points do not make sense at all and it took me two viewings before some issues in the story sunk in. Nicol Williamson is great as the lead character. Overall, an interesting but unfulfilling film.

This film could have and should have been better. The acting by the main characters is horrible. Hakon and Jens seem too self-conscious throughout the whole film. The girl is bad too. Unfortunately we don't see too much of her. Gabriel Byrne and the other supporting actors are ok. The plot points and action reek of Disney. The story is too wholesome for the subject matter. Oh well. I shouldn't expect too much from a Disney action/family adventure.

This is an overall dull comedy that contains some funny moments. Most notable are the print advertisements of which some are hilarious. The "hello" bit is also funny as well.
