Leave your thoughts about Happily N'Ever After.
| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfThere's one great clue that the picture was not born in Hollywood: the heaving bosoms. Only the Germans would bestow such careful, pillowy attention to the bustline of the wicked stepmother and the flying witches. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordHappily N'Ever After is more appropriate as DVD fodder. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThough there are one or two funny gags (like the Seven Dwarves as commandos), the typographical flourish in the title is the most clever thing about Happily N'Ever After. |
| Movie MomNell MinowThis most recent po-mo take on fairy tale may be Shrek-lite, but it is just cute enough. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoHappily N'Ever After is a cutting edge contraction for Happily Not Ever After. It's a shame other films weren't blessed with this hip foresight, otherwise we'd have N'Another Teen Movie and The World is N'Enough. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigWho would have thought an animated comedy satirizing the predictable nature of fairy tales could be so grim? |
| Eclipse MagazineMichelle AlexandriaThe film is so self aware and pseudo hip that it's incredibly annoying. It uses every cutesy "hey look at me" film class 101 trick, including bad narration from Freddie Prinze Jr. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkLimping into theaters at the least admirable time of year, the film is a disaster on a scale we may not have seen yet in this genre. That would make it a new low. |
| Christian Science MonitorM. K. TerrellThe rich detail we've come to expect in computer animation is largely absent, suggesting that the filmmakers intended a direct-to-video release for this cleverly written parody. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekCompared to the best movies of its kind (Shrek), Happily N'Ever After is insipid. Compared to mediocre ones (Hoodwinked!), it's not very good, either. |
