DysEnchanted

I was able to get into a screening of this short, it ran before another film. All in all, it was really funny. The characters were portrayed well, and seeing fairy-tale heroines put into therapy is much funnier than anything the Brothers Grimm could have written. Having some of the most famous storybook ladies talking about narcolepsy, paranoia, obsessive compulsive disorder and the like, it's pretty funny. It does have some adult language (one f-bomb, and Sleeping Beauty talking about her Prince wanting a "snow-job") but for being shot in two days and being about 8 minutes long, it's a great little film. I'm not sure where it is next, but I believe the publicist told me that it's making it's way around the country. Try to catch it if you can.

I saw this movie at LunaFest, a small film festival. I had heard about it before and I was SO excited to get the opportunity to see it. I wasn't disappointed. Very funny and original, it answered a lot of questions you might have. It was really interesting to watch Goldilocks shout things like, "Don't you think Doc's couch is way too soft?" and Dorothy say, "Until you've been carried off by a flying monkey you haven't known fear."

It was cute. A little "adult", mainly due to language, but still cute. In the film, seven fairy-tale heroines (Goldilocks, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, Alice, Dorothy, and Red Riding Hood) are part of a support group, since they've all developed issues from their various stories. When Clara, a single mom with a lot of stress who has given up on "happily ever after", joins the group, the heroines offer her some advice, and convince her that she's just as tough as they are. This was a very funny movie, with the heroines griping and complaining about their personal issues. Also, the actresses had their characters down to a tee. Goldilocks (Alexis Bledel) was my favorite character, because, in addition, to playing Goldilocks, I sensed a hint of Rory Gilmore in her personality. In short, it was good.

See it if you can, but leave the kids at home. This may be a bit too much for them.
