Critic Reviews

  • David Fear, Time Out

    The computerised animation is cut-rate; the script keeps piling on clunker jokes that even toddlers will find lame; and Prinze proves he isn't any better an actor in two dimensions than he is in three.

  • David Fear, Time Out New York

    You expect a certain amount of sugar and snark in a modern children's film, but this tossed-off retelling reeks of folks just out to make a cheap buck.

  • Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

    N'ever was an apostrophe so misplaced, n'ever was the prospect of good cheer so perversely defeated.

  • Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

    Essentially a brash comedy taking one idea as far as it can go, Happily N'Ever After is spare on emotional development but generous with smart-aleck shtick.

  • Susan Walker, Toronto Star

    'As Grimm as it gets,' says the promotional tag for Happily N'Ever After. Make that grim.

    Happily N'Ever After is a movie that re-defines the word, "suck", for eighty minutes. I watched this movie on DVD (so glad I didn't waste money to see this in the theater) and by the first quote was muttered, I knew this was going to suck. Like how The Wild… More

  • Luke B


    A recycled and uninteresting plot which lays the groundwork for the worst comedy I've ever seen. The animation is bland and looks very cheap. The animation wouldn't be so bad if the writing was good but alas it isn't meant to be. The B star cast pimp out their vocal… More
