By the Way

If you have children or are maybe still a child at heart, you may be interested in the email below from our French son. I remember they introduced us to Shrek some years ago and we enjoyed watching it with the children. Prince of Persia reminds me of 'The Princess Bride' - always a favourite in the family.

Just a quickie to let you know that we went to see « Prince of Persia » at the cinema with the kids on Sunday & it was brilliant.

It is an unusual film in that it appeals to boys & girls, young & old(er) … and is an old fashioned adventure movie, with some spectacular special effects, but which are part of the plot, rather than the ‘raison d’etre’ for the film. There is a good storyline (like Arabian Nights) and some romantic elements, some humour & a very pleasant looking leading actor & actress. There is a fair degree of action, but not a lot of violence (which we were worried about as the video game is only that) & it is made by Disney.

I think that Dad would really enjoy it & it is definitely worth seeing on the big screen.

The French family scored it 5/5.
