Charming (2018) Reviews

• Cute at certain moments but simplistic and forced at too many others

  ayoreinf2018-07-22

  Yes, Charming does have certain charm, it's very beautiful as far as its design goes, and most of the jokes do work. All of the cast performs very professionally, but still. The plot doesn't advance naturally, it doesn't flow it stumbles ahead very predictably, as we all knew it would, to the not surprising end. On the road it hits every cliche in the book, many of them are mentioned as if jokingly, but they move the plot forward despite of making us all aware the scriptwriters know it's a cliche. So basically, as I stated in the title, the end result is simplistic and forced. Can't say it was painful to watch, but I did cringe in my chair more than once, and its just plain shame, cause I can see here potential for a better movie.

• Wanted to love this but just couldn't

  Demi is amazing. I wanted to love this movie. The soundtrack was great Demis voice acting was on point but the writing just left something to be desired. There just felt like there was stuff missing. We needed an adorable 3rd party to bring in more comedy and sass the bird was great but the part was so small. The story felt as though part of it was left on the editing floor almost like a book adaptation where you're expected to already love and care for the characters and are there for the highlights. All in all the idea was good, I loved how they pulled so many well loved tales together to feature in this but it is a forgettable movie.

• It might have charm, but it is not irresistible.

  This new fairytale themed comedy by Dreamworks might not be the new "Shrek", but it has a fair amount of charm to stand out on it's own. The plot starts out with some really unique ideas, but becomes a bit more predictable and cliche as it goes on. The comedy does not always stick the landing, but when it does, it is undeniably funny. Some characters are properly developed and likeable, but the same can't be sayed about all of them. In conclusion, this movie can be considered hit or miss depending on how you view it.

• Stupid

  laborcabarbara2018-07-08

  So i went to see this movie with my daughters (5,7). They liked it. But they like everything without criticism. For an adult it was very very disappointing. Plot spoiler! Prince Charming has a curse, that every woman who look in his eyes fall for him. Thus the husbands, fathers, (the men)are angry, since their wives, daughters only want the prince from now on. Cinderella, Snow White and Aurora are all saved by this same Prince and they are all engaged to him. The curse is breakable, the Prince had to fight with undefeatable enemies and find true love, and the kiss of true love can break the curse. He meets Lenore, a thief girl, who is hired by Snow White's father to help Prince Philip break the curse.( Hoping that his true love will be Snow White then.) Lenore is immune to the charming curse and she and the prince fall in love, blablabla. The real problem is the characters. Very disappointing that Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella are stupid, whining, spoiled, mean and useless characters, you hate and want them to shut up. Why??? Philip is....uhhh. Empty headed, useless, stupid "donjuan" without any skills, any character, any hero feature, but the charm curse, and bodyguards to save his ass from the rage of men. And ahh, he is a prince, so he is precious, superior to others. Lenore is supposed to be a strong and independent woman, kind of Robin Hood x Lara Croft mix. She is resistant to the charming curse, but after spending 2 days with Philip saving his life, guarding him, fell in love with him because.... because ohh she is immune to the curse, so must be true love, end of story. Oh god..... Summary, not funny, stupid characters, stupid story, and I did not like the animation design and quality.

• "Pop drawing"

  SilverOrlov2018-12-01

  The story itself is not bad, but realization is the same as the music in this animation - just pop for little girls. Silly grimacing and flat jokes are cute at certain moments, but make a bad picture when such realization is almost 100% of all time in that cartoon.
