ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

randelfcole Living in NYC, I've seen my fair share of Broadway musicals. They become variations on the same beat and musical style and the stories often are trifles. So it was with a hesitant eye that I watched the pilot of Galavant,thinking it would be typical Disney fare. Not only was I pleasantly surprised at its originality and cleverness, but it was very enjoyable to watch. The music and lyrics are smart and, while somewhat predictable, still strong, and the actors are all doing strong work. I've read some of the negative reviews and those comments are par for the course, but given all the reality TV shows, cop shows and junk drama on network television, I found Galavant to be refreshing. I'm sure everyone knew it was going to be an uphill battle to find an audience for this offbeat genre, and it certainly was not safe to green light this, and so all the more reason to be appreciative of those who forged ahead against great odds. Congratulations to all.

L_Avery Brown While billed as a comedic music series, at its core, Galavant (Season 1 & Season 2) has a compelling story which drives the show. Of course, with music being a key part of the series, it's a good thing the musical numbers are spot on hilarious. The story and the music are written in such a way that little ones won't get the adult references (and there are many) but they'll laugh and hum along. Whereas adults can laugh out loud at the innuendo and double entendres sprinkled throughout the series like sugar as wells as some flat out blanket statements that will go over the heads of little ones like a 747.A musical is only as good as the vocals are strong. And the vocals in Galavant are unexpectedly well-done. Joshua Sasse (Galavant), Timothy Omundson (King Richard), Mallory Jansen (Queen Madalena), Karen David (Princess Isabella) and Luke Youngblood (Sid) are all quite talented. Perhaps we'll see more of them in not-quite-so-silly musicals considering the current trend of producing live musicals for television.Of course, not every actor has golden pipes. In fact, the gravelly voice of Gareth, played by former footballer Vinnie Jones, isn't quite as ear-appealing as his co-stars but he gives it his all which makes it worth having a listen. The list of guest stars, some of whom have brief cameos while others have decidedly longer roles, is impressive. And the way they embraced the utter madness of the story and the songs reminds us that actors like to let their hair down and just be silly.Galavant was so screwball in Season 1 not even the cast or crew thought they'd get a Season 2 which is why the series closes with a grandiose song contemplating the fate of characters if there is no Season 2. So when Season 2 did make its way to the small screen, there was a hilarious opening song called 'A New Season'... and then the madness started anew. And damn if the main refrain of the series doesn't get stuck in your head for hours!

josephimdb This show picks up where the Princess Bride, Monty Python, and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Musical Episode "Once More With Feeling" left off... and yet most of the people I know who would love it so on this basis have never even heard of it!The show started off cute, to be certain. As it went through its second season, the strong songs got stronger, the characters got deeper (and therefore funnier!), the plot got more engrossing... basically they found the rhythm that was a little more elusive at first. HIGHLY recommended.If you like the first season, you will LOVE the second. Here's hoping for a third. (are you listening, Hulu?)

kendraaleigh Galavant is a fun mix of adventure, romance, and pure cheesiness. This show is so, so fun. Galavant's quest for love takes some great twists and turns and the adventures are non-stop! And the best part of it all is that it doesn't take itself seriously! With comments that break the fourth wall, and silly lyrics that make fun of the characters singing (A whole song about how the main character's first kiss with his true love wasn't even that great? Hilarious!), this is just plain old FUN to watch! And with the music of Alan Menken, how can you go wrong?If you like The Princess Bride, Monty Python, and Disney musicals, this is right up your alley! Give it a watch when you're sad and it's sure to cheer you right up!
