My kids and I loved this movie, and have the soundtrack to sing in the car. Great cast, great singing - loved it!
It was a good movie. The ending was not as great as a thought it will be.
Absolutely the worst. Shocked it was a musical. And a bad musical at that. If I'd known my wife was hating the movie as well, we would have walked out less than 10 minutes in. A cheesy low budget low quality musical.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Disney flat out lied in the previews not showing a single musical note sung. I will not go to any Disney movie for the rest of the year because of this. And I will avoid movies by any of the stars for the rest of the year as well. I vote with my wallet. On top of that, the writing was meandering, with no focused story line. Characters were arbitrarily dropped and never seen again. Unbelievable. The movie must have shown very poorly to focus groups so they decided to lie to us and cover up that it is a musical until they had made their initial money off the Disney name and the names of the stars.
Meryl Streep should do more musicals.
Awful, awful, awful. If Sondheim were dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave. High point - surprisingly, Chris Pine - chose cheesy and stuck with it brilliantly. Who knew that that would be the best part of the movie? A note to Hollywood: MERYL STREEP can't sing - and even heavily edited, can't sing. Stop casting her in musicals, please. My ears can't stand much more.
From the moment it started we.the wife and i was shocked it was a musical no biggy.but with such big actors i expected more from Disney.Total waste of time and money.people getting up and leaving.It just seem to drag on and on.Total disapointment.Not even worth one star the wife adds.
Too long. Unnecessary length.
Nice songs, fair for a family experience. A bit slow moving and with some scenes that could have been shorter. or with some actual special effects that may have made the experience somewhat better. Overall a waste of time.
First thing I would like to say is "Musical". I was very impressed with the songs, costumes and the actors. If you know anything about the old fairy tales, you'd realize this is what this movie is all about, a little twisted and dark, but what "original" fairy tale isn't. Congratulations, we loved it !!!
