This is for sure going to be a must see for my family when it comes out. I'm quite excited.

I wish I could talk someone in my family into wanting to see this. I've failed so far.

Shenzi- It really is a great family story. Children will be mystified by the fairy-tale enchantment. Adults will appreciate the darker humor and atmosphere of the way it's told.
Ari- Is it because it's a fairy-tale or musical? Or even both that your loved ones do not wish to see it?
If it is either of these. You can attempt to use these arguments. This is not your average frilly fairy-tale. There's a maturity involved for those have a "masculine" taste in films. Granted to no explosions or car chases. But suspense and mystery galore.
It's not an all-sung musical production like what Les Miserables or even The Phantom of the Opera. There's more spoken dialogue written in this one.

They are mainly opposed due to the fact that it is a musical. I will try those arguments with Sam and report back!

This will not resemble the lighter fare like with this new adaptation of Cinderella. Stepen Sondiem does not write such stories. He believes firmly in his audience asking thought provoking questions after they leave.

I will likely see the movie at some point, but have yet to be convinced to spend the money to watch this in theaters. The previews aren't doing enough to convince me it's worth the money especially with The Hobbit coming and I have to see Mockingjay Part 1.

People Magazine placed Into the Woods on their Top Ten Greatest Films of the Year. Coming it at # 6. Awsome!

Double post. I seem to have a knack for this. Hehe! The Broadcast Film Critics Choice Award nominees have just been announced. Into the Woods received nominations for Best Supporting Actress: Meryl Streep, Best Acting Ensemble, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Hair & Make Up. This musical film adaptation is on a roll and I could be more pleased.

So far I've heard positive things about this movie! Looks like something I'd like even though I have never listened to the music before.
