ependydad...Doug 176 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 My wife was jonesing to see the movie, Into The Woods, so we went on a date night on Saturday. It was interesting to see a couple of different stories woven together, but it left me with just a "meh" feeling throughout. It sounds like if we had seen the musical, we may have enjoyed it a little better. Anyone else see this? Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's on my list, but I haven't seen it yet. I also haven't seen the musical. I've heard Once Upon a Time fans will be disappointed. (and I am one) Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I have not seen it but yours is the nicest review from a regular person I have read. I think Disney phoned this one in to capitalize on the Christmas market. Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard Once Upon a Time fans will be disappointed. (and I am one) I think my wife is a fan of that. The two are a totally different experience from each other. I think if you go in with any preconceived notions from OUaT, I can see how you would be disappointed. I have not seen it but yours is the nicest review from a regular person I have read. I think Disney phoned this one in to capitalize on the Christmas market. Feels like it. Which is a shame because my wife was really excited to see it. She says she enjoyed it. --- Now, the big kicker - I paid twice to see it once. I pre-ordered tickets for the wrong day! Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm going to see this with my sister today. I will try to leave my preconceived notions at home, because I really want to like this. Link to post Share on other sites

I will try to leave my preconceived notions at home, because I really want to like this. Let us know! The more we talk- the more it seems my wife enjoyed it, but she also hasn't asked for the soundtrack which surprises me a little. Newsies on the other hand- she's head over heels in love with. :) Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well my review will have to wait for another day. We got there 45 minutes before show time and it was sold out? On a sunny Saturday for a 4:30 show when (as DH reminded me) the NFL playoffs are on! Link to post Share on other sites

Just be careful you buy for the right day! Link to post Share on other sites
DramaMama .......... Janet 75 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 We saw it on Dec. 26th. My review is coming from a "love the musical, stage managed it" point. I really liked most of it. I missed some of the original bits, but understand why they could have left out without confusing the viewer. I really liked their choice for letting the princes play "campy". It showed how truly fake their characters are. Some exposition was actually helpful. Having said that, if you are not a musicals type person it may not be for you. Several friends' husbands hated it. They wouldn't have liked ANY musical movie anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 My DH is not interested either, but I saw the play with my godson in it, years ago and as a professional play in Orlando. I enjoyed both and hope to do the same with the movie. Link to post Share on other sites
