As a french student in High School I believe that I am extremely qualified to review this after reading the book and watching the film. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this has to be the most uncomfortable I've felt in school in a long long time. Stanley Donen's vision takes an extreme turn to left-field. The little prince, everywhere he goes is met by some adult who has some disturbing agenda for him. Whether it may be sensually spitting water into Saint Exuperie's mouth, trying to touch the actor who played willy wonka in the original film, or having to listen to a man clad in leather do a tap dance around him about how he wants to kill him. If the little prince had made it out of this movie alive he would have had to undergone severe psychiatry to cope with this molestation. I'm not saying that the events in the story didn't make sense as well. Oh wait, they didn't. Birds can't fly through space and one can't live on an asteroid. This has to be the worst movie I have seen in a long time, and I watched transformers 2 last night.
