Description:A mash up of fairy tales. A baker and his wife (Emily Blunt) are sent by a witch (Meryl Streep) into the woods to find four items — Jack's (of beanstalk fame) cow, Little Red Riding Hood's cloak, Rapunzel's hair and Cinderella's shoe. When they've gathered the items, the witch will remove the curse that keeps them childless. They do, and for a moment it seems that all will live happily ever after, but then the Giant's wife comes seeking Jack for killing her husband and all goes haywire. The baker's wife dies, the prince cheats on Cinderella, Jack's mother and Little Red Riding Hood's mother die. The baker and his baby and Cinderella, Riding Hood and Jack team up to kill the lady giant and decide to live together and take care of each other. Johnny Depp has a small role as the wolf.

Review - Into the Woods

Clever and funny in places, but it seemed to go on and on forever and lose it's way. For a Disney production with major stars, it also seemed to be cheaply put together in places. I didn't care for the music much either.
