Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales in a musical format that follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel-all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them. Written by

According to Johnny Depp, he modeled the Big Bad Wolf's mischievous persona after the slick-talking, Zoot-suit wearing Wolf from old 1940s Tex Avery cartoons. See more »
Goofs
The baker's wife goes to Rapunzel's tower and rips off 90% of her hair which she then wears like a scarf from then on. Not too much later the prince comes to Rapunzel's tower who now magically has her hair back at full length and the witch catches them mingling. To punish Rapunzel the witch cuts off her hair and Rapunzel begins to weep hinting at how her hair won't be able to grow back that long, which means it didn't grow back after the Baker's wife took it. Later the witch says she can't use the hair the Baker's wife has because she touched it but wasn't at all surprised by the fact she had received the hair despite the fact the witch was the one who cut it off....again.....HUGE continuity error that apparently everyone missed.

Crazy Credits

OMG - this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. First, despite an excellent cast including the amazing Meryl Streep, the characters were wholly unlikable. Even in movies with despicable characters, someone is likable. Hannibal Lector is more endearing than the characters in this offering. Secondly, you may be surprised to learn that this was a musical; a fact mysteriously missing from the array of TV promos for the film. That said, I do enjoy some musicals and own DVD's of West Side Story and Les Mis. The music in this film was neither inspirational nor emotionally moving despite the talented performers. Lastly, the plot meandered aimlessly to the point where a swift demise of the entire cast would have been preferable to the the protracted ending. Buyer beware - do not see this movie.
