One hundred years ago the wicked sorcerer Kruciatus tried to destroy a kingdom now ruled by King Alexander, who has two sons – the heir of the throne Prince Jan and the younger Prince Karel. Not wanting to be second place, Karel sets out to remedy this any cost. With the help of his servant Pakosta, he breaks into the forbidden chamber, acquires some magical items left here from the evil sorcerer, and intends to destroy his brother. Prince Jan thus drinks a magic potion his fine brother serves him and his memory is instantly erased. Prince Jan then sets out on a journey into the Forbidden Forest – a place no one has ever returned from... (Zlín Film Festival)

A fairytale-style Borne Identity or How Dumb and Dumber found happiness. A metaphor on how information is evil and only dumb-asses can find happiness. Patrik Děrgel’s empty expression works for the entire movie (apart from the first moments when he hadn’t yet lost his memory) and Abrhám’s Gandalf was a sure bet. The twist at the end and adding the missing piece to the jigsaw was effective. Excellent for a modern fairytale. I don’t know.

Average again, but this time at least a tolerable Christmas fairytale. And this is mainly thanks to the cast (Eva Josefíková as a very beautiful princess, Patrik Děrgel is nice and Kryštof Hádek has decent comedic talent), not thanks to the would-be narrative spectacle, which is harmed by the cheap TV coat, not thanks to the direction by Karel Janák, who again - in vain and unnecessarily - tried to make a great film.

The story was easy to follow, the acting performances were quite decent, the dragon wasn’t one of the worst and, thankfully, there was no singing. I decided to give it four stars because it was simply hilarious. I absolutely didn't expect there to be so much quality humor. I was chuckling from the very beginning, but the tournament topped it all off (cheerleaders, bracket chart). I was satisfied.

A very nice fairy tale with a pleasantly escalating plot and funny moments. It definitely made my Christmas evening more enjoyable. I was slightly surprised by the more modern approach to the tournament, but it didn't spoil anything. The acting performances were also excellent and the roles were very well distributed. The ending could have been slightly better, at least regarding the evil wizard, but it doesn't matter. I give it a well-deserved 4 stars.
