Hansel & Gretel (2002)

ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!

This is the movie I watch when I need a laugh with no strings attached. I bought my first copy years ago not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the modern twists and the unexpected turns. There was just enough of the original story line to keep me on track without boring me. I've gone through four copies only because I lend it to friends (all were single and childless also) who understandably adds it to their collection. Each person had his/her own favorite line but we laugh at the others when we compared notes. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE ONLY IF YOU WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED WITHOUT HAVING TO THINK. March 11, 2008

OH WELL.....

Hansel & Gretel was o.k., but I like the Cannon Movie Tales one better. It kind of dragged on and on and on with Howie Mandel, even though I've always loved him-especially in Little Monsters. If given the opportunity to preview it before purchasing, I would have passed on the purchase and bought another movie that I truly like better. valilly November 12, 2007

Pure Snoozefest

This is one of the all time worst movies, although Material Girls will forever hold the title of Worst Movie Ever. But Hansel & Gretel makes a valiant attempt at capturing that title.

The only reason to actually buy this movie is if you're collecting Daokta Fanning, and she's the film's one redeeming quality. Unfortunately, her role is very small.

If you suffer from insomnia, Hansel & Gretel is the cure you've been looking for. May 17, 2007

Hansel & Gretel

I really enjoyed this movie, while Howey has changed much from his older comedy routines he is still funny and the rest of the actors add some spice to this satire of an old time classic for the whole family - and that Wood Fairy, WOWZERS!
If you like this one too then you might also be interested in Howey Mandel's "Walk Like A Man", another old time favorite of mine (when Howey had hair!) July 6, 2006

Great for all ages

Okay, I passed on this one for a while, until I got to see a few clips. All the actors are great and it has just the right touch of satire and unexpected twists to keep your interest.

Delta Burke is perfect. Taylor Momsen shines.

My favorite line of the whole movie--"I see fairytale people" ---delivered by Dakota Fanning--always a great actress in everything she's in.


Highly recommended for your DVD library.
