First of all, I'm a guy who enjoys watching Disney movies (Who don't?) with my nieces and nephews or even alone sometimes. Disney has always found its way into our hearts and rooted there, with its beautifully told stories and stunning visuals.
Last year, I thought 'Frozen' was an exceptionally exhilarating experience in terms of musical genre movies. I don't quite fancy this genre really, but the filmmakers and the whole music department have done a great job showing how appealing a good musical movie can be. The Oscar winning 'Let it go' by Idina Menzel was nothing less than a masterpiece.
Now speaking of 'Into the woods', it was the exact opposite. The music was lame, the characters as well. Not even a single character delivered a genuine performance. The word 'poor' is too generous to describe the script and the acting, though there are many fairy tales in this movie that we grew up loving. It was so bad that I couldn't stop fidgeting the whole time.
Maybe the only reason I give it 3 stars is because of Meryl Streep. It is always good to see her. Unfortunately, this could be the only movie that I watched for her and she did not excel in.
One last advice, if you really want to spend a good time with your kids, take them to the park or just do anything else entertaining. If you would rather watch a movie with them, avoid this one.
