Review of Into the Woods (2014) by Rachael K — 21 Mar 2015
I'm not a fan of musicals, and this one was just as irritating as most. Had I known it was a musical, I never would've grabbed it off the shelf. The movie combines several fairytales into one movie: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Instead of developing each story, you get a generic version that twists into another, with of course, a song. The acting was decent, Meryl Streep was great as was Johnny Depp, but I still ended up falling asleep towards the end (yeah, it was that exciting).
I couldn't put myself through re-watching the movie, so I just forwarded through the end....I didn't miss much. Unless you're REALLY into musicals, I don't recommend this movie.
