Ahh... They canceled the 9:00 PM showing for tonight. Not enough people showed up. I was kinda mad after driving all the way out there too.

Saturday night sounds like a good night for me...  I just gotta remember a flashlight so I can find my car after. :P

Jon - that's horrible.  You'd think they'd show it anyways - some money's better than none. :(

They comped us so we went back to see it tonight. It was ok. I laughed at a bunch of parts but on a whole it was pretty weak. No real story line and the continuity was really bad. It was nice to see so many views of our home faire and we did see a bunch of familiar faces which was very cool but there's no way this will make it to theaters. My earlier comments about our queen not being in the movie still stands but I think it would have been below her to play the part too.

I've seen a lot worse in theaters.

I think a couple quick edits would do the show OK. 

First is the whole goat thing.  Totally out of character for Crockett's character through the rest of the movie.  I mean the character is quirky but they should have really focused on mischievous.  There could have been a great deal more slapstick or physical comedy there.

I think the two leads and the jester were perfectly adapted for the movie.  A good fish out of water story.  Ricci is friggin small!  I never realized that in her other movies.

Iffy on the opening scene - I still don't know if I like it or not.  One part of me is like "I don't think someone would change their clothes in a job interview" and another is like "I do know a couple of flakes I can actually see it happening with."

The motive for Rank was troublesome.  Given his attitude and such, someone like that would have been drummed out a long time ago.  I can understand a group of complete jack*sses, but going so far as the final scene with the dog?  I don't know.  Contrived comes to mind.  It should have the character angry about this mocking outsider and Ricci's character's attraction to him.  Could have been more interesting that way.

More focus on the witches too.  :)

I am a little confused.
the official MiRF site says the "All's Faire" movie is showing today,  Sat. Oct. 3, at 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm...?!

I thought it was after faire was over?  I was planning to go to today, Sat.'s 6:30 or 8:30/9pm showing...

uh, guess I better hurry to push my way thru the exiting civilians to go see All's Faire, at 7pm

Man, this was on hilarious move. I loved it! Hope it gets a theatrical release.

My wife and I checked with the workers at the movie tent as we were leaving tonight and they said that now they are not going to show it Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week and said tonight (Sunday) was the last showing.  I was a little upset because we were planning to go see it on Tuesday.  They ended up letting us in for free to see the last 45 minutes but I missed the part I was in.
