Jean, This is film version of Sondheim's musical. It has a number of stars in cameo and full roles including Johnny Depp. Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, Tracey Ullmann, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt and others. I went to see it as the musical is to a great part sung with little speaking. The lyrics are so clever and rhymes on top of rhymes. You can sit there and just listen to the words and enjoy music and sing-song story unfold. I was surprised how many parents brought their children and this was way over their heads. Many of the Grimm fairy tale characters are in the same wood, from Cinderella, Rapunzel to Jack and the Bean Stalk and the Giant and Red Riding Hood. It looks great up on the screen with visual effects and elaborate sets. It is an enjoyable film if long at 125 minutes. Dad
