Yes. I would also go as far to say "It's The Princess Bride for an older, less fantasy tolerant audience."
I just watched this movie for the first time last evening. Elizabeth has a DVD copy she recently procured. We threw it into the laptop that was setup next to the roaring fireplace as we enjoyed our mushroom ravioli accompanied by an extra treat for Elizabeth of Delirium's Noel Belgian Christmas Ale.
I thought the Neil Gaiman story adapted into a movie was brilliant, executed perfectly, and leaped the fantasy romance "wall" leaving an intriguing movie that keeps one's attention with ease. I would also say it pushes the boundaries of "weird and campy", but in a direction I never thought possible.
An excellent movie! One that I would watch again and again.
