Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was a fun movie if you're young at heart and liked fairy tales as a kid. If you're not though, forget it because you'll probably turn it off. It doesn't deviate far from the original Jack In The Beanstalk story, but the writers were very creative in weaving other fairy tales into the storyline. It's filled with fun and sometimes silly comedy, and some great deliveries from Gilbert Godfrey, who I thought really fit the role of "The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg" with his raspy, shrill voice. The exchange between him and Chevy Chase was particularly fun too. The writers even put in a variation of the Three Stooges "Who's on first" routine, which to me was totally unexpected and a hoot.
For me it was just a fun excursion into a fantasy land of the fairy tales I grew up with that were all mixed up into one goofball movie. If you like to take movies apart and examine them piece by piece you won't want to watch this movie. Some of the acting was great, in particularly the job that Chloe Moretz did, but some was average. Overall, I think it's a great movie for kids, and like I said.. it's a nice twist on the original tale that's fun if you're an adult who is young at heart and doesn't mind movies that require you to check your brain at the door.
