 Iconic characters, such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel, find their fates intertwined with a humble baker and his wife, whose longing to have a child sends them on a quest to reverse a witch’s (Streep) curse. With an all-star cast, this spellbinding adventure is everything you could ever wish for!  I think kids who are preteen on up would enjoy this movie!  Meryl Streep is absolutely amazing as her role of a an evil and ruthless witch!  It really does take you on an enchanted adventure with wonderful special effects.
