The writing is not so good and the actors are not so great either. Some are even so bad that it's funny. The environment, the forest, the village and the house, is alright and cute. It does reflect Perrault's story quite well. The soundtrack is not bad and also conveys the incited emotions. The father, the ogre, the sons and the ogre's wives are really bad. Even if it were a theatre play, it still would be terrible. I'm still giving it three stars because I think there was a real effort in trying to make a good movie. The ogre and the father are the worst actors of the movie, they are ridiculously bad. Then, the orgre's daughters are also really bad and can't even play dead properly. The best actor as someone else said is maybe the corpse in town. The boys' mother isn't that bad either. To sum up, there isn't much more to say, it was just bad. It's a fun watch while doing something else that doesn't require to focus too much though.
