Very theatrical feeling - couponsehdotca
This movie looks like it was filmed on the stage. Could be a good thing or bad thing depending if you like live theatre. There's alot more singing than I thought there would be, but they are short and interesting songs. I enjoyed the cast, but especially the actress that plays Winnifred. Not recommended for anyone but little girls who would like to grow up to be princesses.From Stage To Screen - Zoyamauz
"Once Upon a Mattress" is a really funny film! With leads like Carol Burnett and Tracey Ullman, how would it be otherwise?
It is surprising that this film was not recognized more because it is such an excellent stage to screen adaptation. Originally, the musical was created in the 1950's. It ran, first off broadway and later, due to it's huge success on broadway itself. The lyrics are hillarious.
The film version deserves a lot of praise. Especially the costume designer, who designed Carol's gowns. Thumbs Up!
If you're in the mood for happy song and dance with a lot of comedy, this one is for you.
If you enjoyed this, I also recommend "Pirates Of Penzance" with Kevin Kline and Linda Rondstadt.Great movie for kids - moviemom
This movie will appeal to a wide audience, but I would especially recommend it to families and kids. It was wholesome entertainment that was accompanied by some great song and dance numbers.
Carol Brunette was especially funny and crazy in her role.
