When inept wizard Rincewind (David Jason) is kicked out of Unseen University for failing to grasp basic magic, he is forced to get a job as a tour guide. His first punter is Twoflower (Sean Astin), a naïve insurance salesman, and wacky adventures ensue for the mismatched duo!
In fairness, despite his advanced age, David Jason acquits himself very well, as does his new cohort Sean Astin. On the downside, some of the special effects, (including sequences involving The Luggage) are pretty weak, not to mention obviously green-screened.
All in all, The Colour Of Magic is entertaining but scarcely groundbreaking, and the very people it is aimed at are likely to be the ones dissuaded by its abridged approach.
