Into the Woods
Composer Stephen Sonheim, director Rob Marshall, and Disney magic collaborate in a musical comedy twisting the fairy tale characters of Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Jack & the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel into a plot about a witch's curse on a Baker and his wife. It's an all star cast with the likes of Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt, Chris Pine, and Johnny Depp. Pine is hilarious as he channels his best William Shatner singing in the princes' duet. The film looks great and the performances are top notch, but it's not Alien's favorite musical. Still, I would recommend it to musical and Disney fans.
Alien gives it 3 "fractured fairy tales" stars out of 4.
