If you have been to Prague and come to the main train station, you are very close to the Wenceslas Square, named for the character in this story.
Very likely, like most movie versions of stories about historical characters, there are bound to be variations of the story and not everything in the tale may be true.
However, it is not as bad as the fellow wrote about being a cross between a Hallmark movie and a Disney cartoon. It is what it is: a TV (television) movie. It's not a big budget, Eragon type fantasy adventure.
Besides, if he's truly from Czech, he should know about cheesy TV legends as Czech TV's airwaves are full of them just about any holiday.
Jonathan Brandis (formerly in Neverending Story 2) does a good job of playing a young ruler whom his wicked stepmother (Stefanie Powers) doesn't want to rule...because she has a son of her own that she hopes to take the throne.
It is a very helpful film for those who would like to learn something of Czech history. For learning of the accuracy of the history, there are books that can be purchased to check, I won't bore you with details, but check your favorite bookseller or importer.
