Long ago, the Bishop cursed Navarre and his love Isabeau (Michelle Pfeiffer) to be alway together but forever apart.
This fairy tale romance is light and mostly family friendly. Like a few bits of of 80s fantasy it uses the medieval church as the bogeyman, something you don't see much now and we're rewarded with a swordfight on horseback in a cathedral.
The scenery is sumptuous and it gives good castle. Broderick does a lot of speaking internal monologue which I hate. Which is odd because I'm guilty of the same myself a lot.
It's quite linear and because they chop up the scenes so Navarre gets a 'day' then Isabeau gets a 'night' it takes a while for anything to happen.
There's a weird moment where Navarre asks for Isabeau to be killed if he fails in his plan to murder the bishop and I was like WTF?
Apart from that it's quite a sweet fun film 6/10.
