Charming: Un Prince Trop Charmant

Yes, Charming does have certain charm, it's very beautiful as far as its design goes, and most of the jokes do work. All of the cast performs very professionally, but still. The plot doesn't advance naturally, it doesn't flow it stumbles ahead very predictably, as we all knew it would, to the not surprising end. On the road it hits every cliche in the book, many of them are mentioned as if jokingly, but they move the plot forward despite of making us all aware the scriptwriters know it's a cliche.

So basically, as I stated in the title, the end result is simplistic and forced. Can't say it was painful to watch, but I did cringe in my chair more than once, and its just plain shame, cause I can see here potential for a better movie.

Apparently lower budgets can pull off decent CG, but not enough to pay for scripts that can delight all ages :-(

I liked this movie more than I thought I would. I think the awesome music helped a lot - I think without it the film would be kind of meh. The concept is fun though - why is Prince Charming rescuing multiple princesses in all those fairy tales? Oops. Now he's got problems. Overall, it's an enjoyable film for kids and something to play during a lazy afternoon, but I've seen better.

The story was duuuuulllllllll. It had funny moments and references, but the character interaction was so forced. The story lacked well.... everything and enough already with these True Love stories. The only redeeming quality to this thing was the art and the care put into little details like the pictures in the place's walls. The characters were no Disney, but nice to look at and the voice actors did a decent enough job.

This new fairytale themed comedy by Dreamworks might not be the new "Shrek", but it has a fair amount of charm to stand out on it's own. The plot starts out with some really unique ideas, but becomes a bit more predictable and cliche as it goes on. The comedy does not always stick the landing, but when it does, it is undeniably funny. Some characters are properly developed and likeable, but the same can't be sayed about all of them. In conclusion, this movie can be considered hit or miss depending on how you view it.
