I'm struggling to link this from Rotten Tomatoes because technology hates me but this is what it says.
I don't really know how to review this since I don't watch a lot of musicals but here goes. For a musical, it was pretty good. First of all, Meryl Streep is queen. She made the movie for me. Second, the music was catchy so I liked it. Personally, my favorite scene was the one with the two princes arguing about who had more I guess, romantic woes, in their life. Chris Pine was perfect for that role. I never saw the original so I didn't know what was going to happen or really what was going on most of the time, especially with the Cinderella portion of the story. However, I kind of liked how the baker, the baker;s kid, Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, and Jack ended up as a sort of a family. It was interesting take on how the stories all ended. Speaking of which, I liked how all the stories intertwined.
if you can find the broadway anniversary revival film of the stage play with Bernadette Peters I think you'll love it too.
