  It's unlike anything that's been done before. I loved it and will go again. Bernadette Peters played the witch in the stage play. I saw it on line.

  Very creative. A Musical masterpiece - just really different. Read up on the story line first and pay attention to every word. The actors are singing their thoughts.

  The people who wrote the bad reviews have very bad grammar, so I can see why you didn't "get" the movie. It's not your ordinary musical.

  You have to really pay attention to understand it. Meryl Streep is amazing.

  It was very cleverly written. The words must have been really hard to learn. Good acting. Anna Kendrick and Emily Blunt have great voices.

  Sondheim writes musicals so obviously it's a musical and it was written for the stage. If you saw Les Mis, every word was also sung.

  I have been in the stage play so needless to say, I loved this movie and I'll get the DVD and watch it many times. It is complicated and the parts are intricately woven together but if you pay attention, you'll see that the whole thing is a lesson in being careful what you wish for because the answer to someone's wish can hurt someone else. It says "Wishes are like children" - you have to be careful and look after them.

  Of course it's a musical - it's a Broadway musical and Sondheim is a musical genius. The parts all intersect with each other in a very clever way. If you want a happy ending leave when the Prince marries Cinderella. Otherwise, stay and see what happens because of the wishes that were made. Someone said Johnny Depp plays a pervert - no - he plays a wolf, dummy.

  I saw the movies twice and I will get the DVD. I saw it 3 times on stage and it helps to know the story ahead of time so you can follow it more easily because it's complicated. Contrary to some reviewers, it does have a plot and lots of lessons to be learned.

  After reading the mixed reviews, I was more than ever curious to see this movie. However, though I was prepared to be forgiving, I found it rather awful. Maybe it would not have been as awful if it ended at the "Happily Ever After" ending, but the movie continued on and all I could ask myself is, "Why?" The movie tells the familiar (ironically) non-Disney versions of fairytales: Cinderella, Jack and the Bean Stalk, Repunzel, and The Little Red Ridinhood. Meryl Streep, who is fabulous in this movie as well (is there anything that woman cannot do), is the witch from Repunzel, and she sets Repunzel's brother and his wife a task to collect "a golden shoe, cow as white as milk, flaxen hai
