The Brothers Grimm Movie Synopsis & Plot
"The Brothers Grimm," from director Terry Gilliam ("Brazil," "The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen"), stars Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, the legendary brothers who gave us our favorite fairy tales. The film follows them on an enchanted adventure set in a world of heroes and villains, witches and trolls, undying evil and true love, - a realm the two storytellers thought was just make believe... until it came into their world to get them. Now the Brothers Grimm are about to confront all that their imaginations brought to life, as they are caught up in an epic battle between fantasy and reality.
MOVIE REVIEW
A film that could have been something but just wasn't, "The Brothers Grimm" is one of those films that you'll see on video shelves every once in a while and say, "Oh yeah, I remember that one," and then move on. Not bad but not necessarily good, "The Brothers Grimm" fails to merge comedy, horror and Grimm fairy tales effectively. Questionable acting and unfocused direction also are to blame.Read our Brothers Grimm, The movie review »
