The Brothers Grimm
Description
The Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm and Jacob, are dysfunctional schemers who go from town to town putting on shows that convince inhabitants they are getting rid of demons. After one such scam, they encounter a genuine fairy-tale curse which requires true courage instead of their usual bogus exorcisms.

A disjointed, ear-splitting, visually-jarring, mirthless exercise in pandemonium that director Terry Gilliam tries to pass off as family entertainment.

Wide-eyed, messy, lustrous, rich with enchantment, both giddy and perverse

This time, Gilliam's storytelling is even more convoluted than his bookkeeping.

everyone involved in the production appears to have become lost in the dark woods, hoping somehow to find their way out with an incoherent trail of compromises.

Jammed with stuff and all but empty of drama.

At times this fanciful romp lurches uneasily between violence, slapstick comedy and sublime escapism - in other words, it's pure Gilliam.

The Brothers Grimm has enough haunting, fairy-tale imagery for 10 movies, but no emotional kick to drive those images home.

The only redeeming feature is the hope that [director Terry Gilliam's] salary from The Brothers Grimm,/i> will help him set up a good, old-fashioned Gilliam film, in the tradition of his excellent early work.

The best thing to be said about this expensive but drab wannabe mirthmaker is that it has some of its director's quirky touches.

The movie feels thoroughly like a project Gilliam did halfheartedly, just to stay in the game.

It's kind of cold and it's kind of a mess, but I thought it was a glorious mess and it looks so great and it is so interesting and there is so much going on that I have to recommend it on a very mild level.

The result is something that might best be called Monty Python and the Holy Mess.
