When I was a kid I found the film absolutely hilarious but If we were to be serious and act like its not a family movie, it's actually very depressing. The main character's mother raises his son to be incapable of functioning as a person. She encourages this behaviour most of the time she's on screen.
The whole world revolves around him, it's like he's the god, like he created the whole universe. I mean the king has to go to him personally, as well as the dragon and the princess and then he gets a happy ending for doing absolutely nothing!?
As for the review, the staging is charming, the acting is good, I liked it.
