Ošklivá princezna, from 1999, is a delightful fairy-tale comedy that swings between whimsical charm and a relatable narrative. The story revolves around the contrasting fates of two princesses: Zlata, the classic beauty with countless suitors, and Pepička, who, despite being overlooked due to her looks, has a heart and intellect that shine through. The film manages to balance light-hearted moments with deeper themes of self-acceptance and familial love. Its pacing is quite engaging, with a mix of practical effects and set designs that evoke a classic fairy-tale atmosphere. Performances are earnest, with a certain quirky energy that keeps it from feeling stale. It’s a unique take on the fairy-tale genre, where beauty isn’t everything.
