Title: Not even worth buying on DVD.
Review: Wished I had watched it on TV instead of wasting my money on the DVD. Sam Neill plays a great clown-magician but there's never any real chemistry between him and Paul Curran like there was between Nigel Terry and Nicol Williamson in "Excalibur". The plot stretched credibilty to the point of comical proportions. The film had a very Disney-ish make believability about it, the kind where you'd leave the theatre were it not for your 3-year olds tagging along. The effects were so-so and obviously more money was spent on them than a good script. Hopefully, Neill, Short, and Rossellini will be more discerning in their next film roles.
