This is a film that's as ridiculous as it is fun. The cast is just stellar, and despite the problems that always seem to plague Gilliam's films you'd never know that they weren't having the time of their lives. Apparently Ledger and Damon were originally cast in each other's roles and they petitioned Gilliam to swap, would have been interesting to see it the other way. As it is it turned out wonderfully for both of them. There's a lot of fun to be had with messing with these old tales. I actually re-watched this as reference for a project I'm working on. The production design is gorgeous and well thought out. The film itself is okay, not Gilliam's best, but still worth watching, especially if you like fairy tales.
