okay, this movie is freaking awesome! It's like the best movie ever. I watched it everyday for a week. The story-line is captivating, I laughed and cried. My favorite character was the father, he was funny and smart. I especially liked the song "raise your hands" and I even sing along with my little brother. I like the scene in the town because it was very realistic, the bakers son and the guy who dances with the children made me smile. It made me wish I was in the fairy tale. The witch was also a very good actress, she was scary and very angry sometimes. People should make more movies as exciting as this one!
If you want to see the best movie in the world, you will watch Hansel and Gretel!
