About this movie

From the director of Chicago and the producer of Wicked comes a modern twist on the beloved fairy tales you thought you knew. Meryl Streep stars in this epic musical saga about daring to venture Into the Woods. Iconic characters, such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel, find their fates intertwined with a humble baker and his wife, whose longing to have a child sends them on a quest to reverse a witch's (Streep) curse. With an all-star cast, this spellbinding adventure is everything you could ever wish for!

I love Meryl Streep in this. I love Johnny Depp in this. And it's always a pleasure to see Tracy Ullman. The characters are great and the story is wonderful. But do we really need to sing every two seconds? And the songs all sound the same! I found myself fast forwarding through most of them toward the end. The only song I really enjoyed was the shortest one of them all - the one about not being alone. This could have been a lot better than it was; which isn't to say it was bad... just... tedious with all the singing!

I usually like musicals, they are fun and can leave you humming them for hours after. This one made me want to turn it off after half an hour. sadly, a friend rented it for me, so i watched the whole thing. The witch didnt fully make sense, the giants wife made me cringe, and the princes made me giggle and admit sadly that yes, they were proably like that up to a point. How sad...

Had absolutely no idea what the plot was doing and why on earth they kept singing nonsense songs the whole time. It had Depp playing a pedophile and the stepmother chopping off parts of her daughters' feet so they could fit into the stupid shoe and kleptomaniacs running all over the place. Oh yes, and Prince Charming cheating on Cinderella. What?! I hope I forget this awful 'movie' (should've been billed as a musical) very soon. Warning: if you do decide to watch it have a bag ready to throw up in.
