Title: Farce not fable
Product review: The product description of "classic American folk tale" might lead one to believe that this movie is the legend of Johnny Appleseed, when in fact, it is not based on the legend nor on the factual life of Johnny Chapman. It is instead, a farcical adaptation that, even with the great talents of Martin Short and Rob Reiner, falls short of funny. I was hoping for something entertaining and educational for my young grandchildren, but this film was neither. I ordered Walt Disney's MELODY TIME at the same time and can recommend its short classic, LEGEND OF JOHNNY APPLESEED.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
