Shopaholic35 I understand the concept but the execution is half-arsed at best. The writers should be ashamed of themselves. The characters lack direction and the only common theme I can see is cram as many storybook characters into one film together and watch what happens. Sometimes the anti fairytale can work but it has to be creatively done.For such a star-studded cast, it really should have been better. I'm super surprised that so many people signed onto this movie. The only thing that can explain it is maybe their careers were in a slump at the time. There are just so many could have been great moments but in the end nothing can save this lacklustre, boring pile of generic trash.

RageReviewer I may be giving some credit to the film by giving it a 4 out of 10, but the reason being is that the voice acting isn't bad and the actual idea (not the plot, the idea) was a smart one. Everything else has essentially a sad ending.Well what's the story? Well you have the classic fairy tale of Cinderella as the "main" premise of the story, with Cinderella (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the Prince (played by Patrick Warburton, surprising to say the most), and the Evil Stepmother (named Frieda I kid you not, and played by Sigourney Weaver). What's the twist? Honestly, the biggest twist to Cinderella is the addition of the new side-story of an Ashton Kutcher impersonator named Rick (played by Freddy Prinze Jr). What else is going on? Two little creature-things named Munk and Mambo (played by Wallace Shawn and Andy Dick, respectively) are keeping the balance of EVERY SINGLE STORYBOOK CHARACTER in check while their boss, who's just the Wizard with the voice of George Carlin (literally), is on vacation in Scotland. And everything goes downhill from there as the evil stepmother takes control by literally just being a sex-appeal figure. Then lots of issues, an unneeded fight seen, one lame song, and a happy ending that shouldn't be there (Just look at the title!)What's good? Well not a lot. As I said there's the voice talents of Sigourney Weaver, who was slightly enjoyable as more than just sex- appeal. No seriously, Freida says things you can misinterpret simply because you're looking at her apparent cleavage. The late George Carlin only gets about 3 lines, sadly. Wallace Shawn made me shout INCONCEIVABLE throughout the entire film. Though honestly I wanted to tear my hair out from how annoying Andy Dick is in this film, he never shuts up! On top of that Cinderella is selfish, Rick is just as petty and acting too much like a drama queen, and Warburton is the only source of comedy for how stupid his character is. On top of that, the animation is sub-par at best. If it's supposed to be an evil-supportive movie, it sure is a colorful one! But I have to give credit, some of the villains seemed neat. The wolves were likable (even though the Italian accent was out of place - I was expecting a German one), the witches broom-bikes were cool, and even Rumpelstiltskin seemed interesting, except for the fact that he joins the good guys by the end of the film. Finally for the villains, THERE'S TOO MANY TROLLS. It's a simple plot, a twist gone wrong (in both senses), and it is a movie that can be skipped over. If you do watch it however, it's not terrible, it's just something that won't stick out in the back of your mind.

crystal_tears_93 I was very excited when I first heard about this movie since the actors are pretty good and the plot sounded excellent, the way it was all carried out is not that good. The characters, even though they are played by very good actors (Sigourney Weaver!) lack substance and I found myself unable to relate to them. They are not unique in any way and they are not the kind of characters that I will remember a month from now in any way.The lines are not catchy and I couldn't find a single line in the whole movie to catch my attention. There are even parts when the lines are kinda corny and that ruins the whole bad ass attitude the movie is trying to display.

indigirl52 I thought this film was great! Yeah it is a bit of a rip off of Shrek but it's still it's own film too. It's over-done, the animation isn't crash hot, and the characters are very stereotypical (what do you expect?! it's a movie about fairy tales!) but there are also new things in it too (the dwarfs and their catapult). It's the same old story but still original if that makes sense. i watched it with my little sisters (3 and 8 yrs old) and we all laughed at different parts, because, like Shrek, it's funny for the whole family. I suppose it depends on your movie taste, as always. If you want a fun movie that is NOT meant to be taken seriously in almost all aspects of it and is sorta awesome for the whole family, choose this one, along with Shrek ;)
