Charming

This new fairytale themed comedy by Dreamworks might not be the new "Shrek", but it has a fair amount of charm to stand out on it's own. The plot starts out with some really unique ideas, but becomes a bit more predictable and cliche as it goes on. The comedy does not always stick the landing, but when it does, it is undeniably funny. Some characters are properly developed and likeable, but the same can't be sayed about all of them. In conclusion, this movie can be considered hit or miss depending on how you view it.

Apparently lower budgets can pull off decent CG, but not enough to pay for scripts that can delight all ages :-(

Demi is amazing. I wanted to love this movie. The soundtrack was great Demis voice acting was on point but the writing just left something to be desired. There just felt like there was stuff missing. We needed an adorable 3rd party to bring in more comedy and sass the bird was great but the part was so small. The story felt as though part of it was left on the editing floor almost like a book adaptation where you're expected to already love and care for the characters and are there for the highlights. All in all the idea was good, I loved how they pulled so many well loved tales together to feature in this but it is a forgettable movie.

The story was duuuuulllllllll. It had funny moments and references, but the character interaction was so forced. The story lacked well.... everything and enough already with these True Love stories. The only redeeming quality to this thing was the art and the care put into little details like the pictures in the place's walls. The characters were no Disney, but nice to look at and the voice actors did a decent enough job.

I liked this movie more than I thought I would. I think the awesome music helped a lot - I think without it the film would be kind of meh. The concept is fun though - why is Prince Charming rescuing multiple princesses in all those fairy tales? Oops. Now he's got problems. Overall, it's an enjoyable film for kids and something to play during a lazy afternoon, but I've seen better.
