And they all lived happily ever after.

Many of you grew up in the sugar-coated version of their tales. The best versions come from “Fractured Fairy Tales” (1959). Some have read the real ones and recoiled. Well, we finally get the real skinny; this fine true-life movie is more of a documentary explaining the real Brothers Grimm. In French-occupied Germany, the brothers Jake and Will Grimm (Heath Ledger and Matt Damon) are out to make a fast buck. And they do so until they are found out by the French general Delatombe (Jonathan Pryce, who played Juan Perón in “Evita” (1996)). Now forced to work for the French or perish, they must confront what appears to be a better-organized group of hucksters, or just maybe the real thing. Will they accomplish their mission and maybe find a new respect for each other? Or will they fail to save a damsel in distress? Can we hold up through all this peril? Anyway, this is an enjoyable film, even if a bit too campy. And they all lived happily ever after. Well, maybe not.
