As the result of the curse of a once-beautiful witch (Meryl Streep), a baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) are childless. Three days before the rise of a blue moon, they venture into the forest to find the ingredients that will reverse the spell and restore the witch's beauty: a milk-white cow, hair as yellow as corn, a blood-red cape, and a slipper of gold. During their journey, they meet Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack, each one on a quest to fulfill a wish.

Critics Consensus

On the whole, this Disney adaptation of the Sondheim classic sits comfortably at the corner of Hollywood and Broadway -- even if it darkens to its detriment in the final act.

Sarah Marshall

Bitch Media

When the story's consequences are just a little less dire and the darkness of the woods just a little less threatening, the hard-won redemption at story's end doesn't seem nearly as sweet.

... somewhere along each character's traipse through the foreboding forest, the story just loses its way.

It's not, in any easily describable way at least, a terrible movie. It's just a woefully forgettable one, staged with all the depth and flair of a halfhearted community theater production.

OUT FRONT Magazine (Denver)

Cinderella’s Prince Charming and Rapunzel’s Prince are played by Chris Pine and Billy Magnussen, both handsome, shallow, stylish, self-absorbed, chivalrous, and chauvinistic pigs -- I loved them.

Deep Focus Review

The film version doesn’t feel as playful or revisionist as the stage musical.

Rated: 2.5/4

Survives the script meddling through strong staging, good performances and sheer wish fulfillment to make end up at it's own kind of happily ever after.

Rated: 3.5/5

Best film ever! Every thing in it is good. It's quite miraculous how it is possible to make a film as good as Into the Woods is. It's about a baker and his wife, who one day are visited by a witch (Meril Streep), who tells them about how she was cursed by her mother to be ugly many years ago. The witch requests the baker and his wife to go on a journey in the woods to find her the ingredients for a potion that will make her beautiful once more!

As someone who grew up basically obsessed with the stage musical, I feel like this production was underappreciated. The casting was good to great, though Meryl Streep in particular had huge shoes to fill playing Bernadette Peters's role (I know, weird thing to say about Streep in particular); the cuts they made were mostly things that really wouldn't have translated well from the stage to the screen, like, the 'One Midnight Gone' summaries of what we'd seen so far, though cutting the Baker's father's song I disagree with; Agony might actually have been funnier than the original Broadway cast version. As in many musicals of the era, it feels visually grey and gritty, which I don't agree with particularly for the brighter first half of the movie, but other than that, they did a pretty good job adapting a really challenging show.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
