The story revolves around a young adventurer who finds himself swapping lives with a European prince, leading to all sorts of comedic misadventures. The performances are spirited, with the lead showcasing a knack for slapstick, while the production features some clever practical effects that enhance the whimsical atmosphere. You can really feel the lighthearted tone throughout, making it an enjoyable watch, even if it doesn’t quite break new ground in the genre.
