No spoilers, violators will be prosecuted.
This movie didn't release until today, but my wife got a pair of preview tickets.
Matt Damon and Heath Ledger are brothers who fight down evilness, witches, ghosts....etc.
The movie takes place in the early 1800s. It tries so hard to play fun with every fable, story, or other wives tail it can get its hands on, a-la Shrek. It doesn't succeed quite as well. It was a good movie, but the fact that A. Shrek had been done, B. Shrek did it better, and C. The Brothers Grimm was supposed to take place in the real world really hurt the humor attempts.
Also, it tried to be everything and ended up being almost nothing. It was part comedy, part horror, part mystery, and part adventure. Now, don't get me wrong, it's an ok way to waste a couple of hours and I do recommend seeing it, just don't expect to see this winning any awards.
6.5 out of 10.
