Gib acht, was du dir wünschst...
Der Bäcker und seine Frau wünschen sich nichts sehnlicher als ein Kind. Allerdings verhindert ein Fluch der bösen Hexe, dass die Frau schwanger werden kann. Die finstere Magierin bietet dem Paar eines Tages jedoch an, den Bann aufzuheben, wenn es ihr bestimmte Gegenstände von einigen märchenhaften Gestalten beschafft. Um ihren Traum vom Familienglück endlich zu verwirklichen, lassen sich die beiden Verzweifelten auf das turbulente Abenteuer ein, in dessen Verlauf sie unter anderem die Wege von Rotkäppchen und dem listigen Wolf, Rapunzel, Cinderella und ihrem Prinzen sowie dem mit magischen Bohnen ausgestatten Jack kreuzen. Doch was kann Schreckliches passieren, wenn die Hexe schließlich alles bekommt, wonach sie verlangt?

I love every minute of it. It's this year's 'Frozen', an enchanted one. I adore you, Emily Blunt!
I found it rather boring. This isn't my kind of musical. I guess it's simply too classical/old for my taste. Both the story and songs/music didn't really interest me.
Too drawn out, 90 minutes might've been perfect. I like the idea of 'Into the Woods', with its mash-up of numerous fairy tales from 'Cinderella' to 'Little Red Riding Hood' to 'Jack and the Beanstalk' to 'Rapunzel'. I'd also say the musical pieces are enjoyable across the opening 20-30 minutes, which are nice and energetic. However, from the midway point things start chugging down to a snail's pace. The novelty of the premise begins to wear thin, as it becomes clear that there isn't much more to tell - despite a load of the 125 minute run time still remaining. I will say, though, the look of the film is pleasant. I do also rate the casting. James Corden seems to split opinion online, but I've always liked him; having watched and enjoyed him since his career took off with UK TV's 'Gavin & Stacey'. Emily Blunt and Johnny Depp are two of my favourite actors, while Meryl Streep and Anna Kendrick are strong casts. I like Chris Pine too, but he's iffy in this. In conclusion, I almost found entertainment with this but overall it disappoints due to its poor pacing and gappy plot.
Maybe it's because it's a fairytale and there is singing, but... I LOVE IT.
