Saw "The Brothers Grimm" yesterday in the theater... Save your money.
Category Everything Else
I was coerced into taking the wife to see The Brothers Grimm yesterday. It's not the type of movie I'd voluntarily go and see, but I figured I might be surprised if I gave it a chance.
No such luck... Even the wife hated it.
It's a convoluted mess of a story, a plot line that eluded any of my attempts to follow it on anything more than a broad level. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a parody, a comedy, or some semi-serious attempt at 18th century storytelling. The characters are strange and I wasn't sure what half of them were doing in the movie anyway.
I'm not sure I would have even watched this when it comes out on DVD. Knowing what I know now, the answer would be resounding "no".
