Hansel & Gretel meet Delicatessen!
22 November 1999 | by (London, England.) – See all my reviews

I can not say that this is a movie for all tastes, but if you feel watching a great classic kind of tale, then go for it! I hope you have a good time and even a few laughs. I really found it funny in some parts... I have to say I liked it very much!
