Grimm Indeed

The brothers Grimm is a movie for those of us that remember our fairy tales, but don't mind seeing them toyed with. Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, And even parts of Snow White are all thrown together to create a movie worth at least a rental. The acting is poor, but then again it was not seemingly intended to be good; perhaps cheesy would be a better word than poor. The effects are not "great" either, though they are fun. Perhaps that is the best way to address this movie, fun but not real. If you expect Lord of the Rings you'll not get it; if you look for a fun, sometimes grisley movie, it will be an entertaining for you.

I give it the arbitrary rating of 5 out of 7.5 grim endings. (Since this movie has a happy ending, it seems.)
