I know I'm late to jump on this bandwagon BUT I did actually watch this a couple of weeks back and have only just come about to write my review!

When I saw the trailer for this I knew right away I'd want to see it: a musical, Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick and many more famous faces - what more could I want!? Oh yeah, the fact it's DISNEY!!

The film is very clever in the sense that it captures many fairy tales and puts them all into one, there's elements of: Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella and Jack and The Beanstalk. The film is actually based on the Broadway musical going by the same name which I thought was very cool and how amazing would it be to see this live on stage!?

The basic synopsis is that a baker and his wife wish desperately for a child but a witch has laid a curse on them and only if they bring her: a cow as white as milk, a slipper as pure as gold, hair as yellow as corn and a cape as red as blood will the curse be lifted! You can probably already picture the individual fairy tales just by that list but what I liked was the fact that I thought I knew what the film would be like and then suddenly other characters are revealed and more events occur and it keeps the audience on the edge of their seat!
Overall, I really liked this film and will now be taking some of the songs with me for my road trip around Europe!!

DeleteI have to say I wasn't crazy about the story line, but I thought Meryl Streep & James Corden were brilliant in it! :) xx

Yeah, it was different to what I expected it to be. Same! Abi :)
DeleteI went to the cinema and watched this movie without knowing it's a musical ;P I do love musicals though and plus it had Anna Kendrick and Emily Blunt, I enjoyed it!
