Legendary fairytale scribes Jake (
Heath Ledger) and Will Grimm (
Matt Damon) are two brothers who travel around the Napoleonic countryside vanquishing monsters and demons in exchange for quick money. But when the French authorities figure out their scheme, the con men are forced to contend with a real magical curse when they enter an enchanted forest where young maidens keep disappearing under mysterious circumstance.
Many of their renowned fairytales including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel&Gretel are woven into the story as the Brothers Grimm are forced to confront all that their imaginations have brought to life.
I thought the movie was kind of funny but I`m not really sure it was supposed to be. I wanted to watch the movie because of the fantasy element, so it`s not totally bad. A stretch on two real guys.
I thought this movie was a bit creepy. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger did a good job and the graphics were good. Not a very amazing movie though. 3 stars
It was odd.. like a mix between Lord of the Rings, Shrek, and something from the brains of Monty Python... It was definitely not what I expected it to be, and it was ok, but I wouldn`t see it in theatres, its more like a rental when you`ve got nothing else to do.
