Lotsa fun, tonally jumbly, dialed up as hell. A Grimm-era fairy tale: simple, goodhearted moral center surrounded by layers of grotesque (sci) fantasy.

In this house we enjoy John Cena. All that's missing is a blooper reel.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
As a fan of the book, I wanted to enjoy this way more than I actually did. There were a few key scenes that pulled me in, but I feel like the devices they used to elicit an emotional response did the exact opposite for me; I was too distracted by the device to feel truly connected to the characters and their story.
On reflection I think first person perspective just might not be my thing. But I respect the swings this movie takes, as well as the individualized experience of its audience.
