Review: The Brothers Grimm |

By Katie Summers, THS Entertainment Consultant
Set in 1812, "The Brothers
Grimm" tells the story of Jacob (Heath Ledger) and Will
(Matt Damon), two brothers who spend their time collecting mythical
tales and then turning them into reality (with the help of two actors and
some home made special effects) in order to scam money from superstitious
townsfolk.
When their act is caught out by the
French General, Delatombe, he orders the brothers to the town of Marbaden
where a number of young girls have mysteriously disappeared. Convinced the
town is being fleeced by another gang of con men, Delatombe wants the brothers
to tell him how the trick is being pulled off. However, when the brothers
arrive at Marbaden, they soon realize that the curse is in fact very real
and begin a race against time to save the townsfolk, themselves and to stop
a long dead evil queen (Monica Bellucci) from trying to live as a
youthful beauty forever.
While the lead characters are based
on the real life storytellers, "The Brothers Grimm", is
not a fairytale. It is a dark story that is full of horror and comedy and
very cleverly works in references to classic stories such as Little Red
Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and The Frog Prince.
There are some genuinely scary moments which will make you look at horses,
wells and gingerbread men very differently. Although some might expect more
from a movie with such well known leads, "The Brothers Grimm"
is still entertaining and a movie worth seeing.
Monica Bellucci stars as the
evil mirror queen and makes very good use of her long and sexy tresses.
