Charming

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

Nice little comic fairytale with familiar characters. Three rich babes Cinderella, The Snow White and Sleeping Beauty all plan to marry with their savior which happens to be the same prince. Don't expect ultra good animation or complicated plot twists but still OK.

Yes, Charming does have certain charm, it's very beautiful as far as its design goes, and most of the jokes do work. All of the cast performs very professionally, but still. The plot doesn't advance naturally, it doesn't flow it stumbles ahead very predictably, as we all knew it would, to the not surprising end. On the road it hits every cliche in the book, many of them are mentioned as if jokingly, but they move the plot forward despite of making us all aware the scriptwriters know it's a cliche.

So basically, as I stated in the title, the end result is simplistic and forced. Can't say it was painful to watch, but I did cringe in my chair more than once, and its just plain shame, cause I can see here potential for a better movie.

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.

The story itself is not bad, but realization is the same as the music in this animation - just pop for little girls. Silly grimacing and flat jokes are cute at certain moments, but make a bad picture when such realization is almost 100% of all time in that cartoon.
