This is a nice tame film set in both the Dark Ages and in 2001. The film has a basic story and the characters are a bit two dimensional. Some amusing and comical pieces that makes the film a comedy fantasy instead of much else. The boy "hero" was a little too bratty, and his neighbour wasn't interested in teaching him any magic. The parents were the most boring people on film. The school bully was quite a meaningless character, who was only in it for the daft spilt milkshake and trouser jokes. The ending made out that bully and gang were well aware of Ben's magical powers somehow. The script wasn't thought out and the film was too empty. Kelly Lebrook as Morgana was like a panto villain. It was a little bit colourful and funny.
