This movie is a nice traditional Czech fairytale comedy. Most of the humor used is contextual, so you need to know Christians fairytales to understand the jokes. Maybe even how they are interpreted in Middle Europe.
The cast is pretty famous for older generation in our location. The costumes are simple and historical. The exteriors and interiors are quite ordinary for that period in our history. It is classical Czech(Czechoslovak) fairytale.
Don't get me wrong, I've always appreciated how the Czech people keep their fairytales alive, but it is not something ultra cool with lot of special effects.
I watch this movie every year on Christmas Eve.
