	The Grimm Brothers
		In 1837, the Brothers Grimm joined five of their colleague professors at the University of Göttingen to protest against the abolition of the liberal constitution of the state of Hanover by King Ernest Augustus I of Hanover.
		The Grimms helped foment a nationwide democratic public opinion in Germany and are cherished as the progenitors of the German democratic movement, whose revolution of 1848/1849 was crushed brutally by the Kingdom of Prussia, where there was established a constitutional monarchy.
		In the very early 19th century, the time in which the Brothers Grimm lived, the Holy Roman Empire had just met its fate, and Germany as we know it today did not yet exist; it was basically an area of hundreds of principalities and small or mid-sized countries.

	THE BROTHERS GRIMM
		THE BROTHERS GRIMM is one of those most unfortunate films in the sense that it’s a good looking one with high class production design, but with a convoluted and disinteresting story that is more dull than enthralling.
		Yet, THE BROTHERS GRIMM is a work that struggles to be something grand and entertaining and instead becomes a film of frustrating banality.
		THE BROTHERS GRIMM chiefly demonstrates that all the cinematic magic available is not enough to carry a film that lacks inner substance.

	The Brothers Grimm
		The Brothers Grimm is the first movie in seven years from Terry Gilliam (the legendary Monty Pythonian and director of such quirky cult films as Time Bandits, Brazil and Twelve Monkeys).
		Grimm's screenplay, written by Ehren Kruger, is very, very, very loosely inspired by the real-life Brothers Grimm, German folklorists whose collected stories (including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Hansel and Gretel) have intrigued and entertained the world for nearly two hundred years.
		The Brothers Grimm, according to insider reports, was a difficult birth, with the producers (Harvey and Bob Weinstein) overriding cast and crew selections, problems with the special effects, etc. With all these troubles, it's a wonder this film isn't just mediocre.

	Brothers Grimm, The (2005): Reviews
		The Brothers Grimm reeks of compromise, of a brilliant fantasist losing his footing and nerve and getting hopelessly gummed up in the cruel machinery of big-budget blockbuster filmmaking.
		Although The Brothers Grimm is partly an inventive fantasy, it's also a cluttered, jangly action picture, and there's too much noise and commotion for Gilliam's subtler ideas to really resonate.
		On the whole, The Brothers Grimm is a mess; a formerly daring director’s attempt to cash in on big studio backing even after the rug has been pulled out from under him.

		But in the Brothers Grimm version, all the girls that couldn't fit the glass slipper ended up cutting there feet so that there feet would become small enough to fit the slipper.
		Brothers Grimm makes it's fairytales that way to create a meaning behind the actions that happen through out the fairy tales.
		However, some say Brothers Griimm because they want there children to understand that everything isn't just a fairy tale and that there is a meaning to things thats happen in life.

	The Brothers Grimm DVD Review
		That is the intention of Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm.
		Throughout their mission, the brothers keep a journal in which they log their encounters, with the implication being that the stories we cherish today survived because of it.
		Bits and pieces of various Grimm stories are thrown together in an attempt to convince viewers that all these ideas could have come from one journey, resulting only in confusion and disjointedness.

	Lesley Collier - The Brothers Grimm - Movie Review
		In Terry Gilliam’s The Brothers Grimm the eponymous siblings are dodgy dealing con artists of the early 1800’s who use their imaginations solely to profit from fearful folk, scared of the witches and wizardry the brothers themselves have invented.
		When the brothers are revealed to be charlatans the Napoleonic General, Delatombe (Jonathan Pryce), behests them on pain of death to investigate the disappearance of little girls from the French occupied German village of Marbaden.
		The Grimm’s fairy tales are at all times present within the film, more by way of cameo appearance than anything else, and I really didn’t feel as though the potential of these stories were realised.

		The brothers are generally treated as a team, though Jacob concentrated on linguistic studies and Wilhelm was primarily a literary scholar.
		It is, on the whole, wrong to concede the brothers Grimm to the romantics.
		The Grimms' tales are in fact much closer to genuine folk origins than Hans Christian Andersen's tales - he is considered the best-known tellers of fairy tales.

		Brothers Will and Jake Grimm are a couple of travelling con-artists who are sent to investigate the disappearance of two girls.
		Fortunately, silver-tongued Jake Grimm (Matt Damon) and his academic-minded brother Will (Heath Ledger) are masters of the occult arts who can easily rid villages of those pesky demons—for a fee, of course.
		In Marbaden, the brothers hear tall tales of marauding wolves and other creatures under the control of a centuries-old queen (Monica Bellucci).

		The brothers watch in disgust as Angelika guts and skins a rabbit that's hanging from her ceiling.
		The brothers try to rescue him, but a root/branch then blasts out through the guy's mouth (from the inside, but with no blood) and he's then pulled into a hole.
		To keep Angelika from leaving with the brothers, Cavaldi grabs and then pushes her up against a wall with a large, forked stick (with the "V" part of it on either side of her neck).

	"The Brothers Grimm" - Salon
		Heath Ledger and Matt Damon play, respectively, brothers Jake and Will Grimm, extremely faux versions of the real Brothers Grimm, who collected a bunch of folk tales in the early 19th century that continue to scare the living daylights out of children (and grown-ups) today.
		The brothers land in hot water -- though, luckily, not hot oil -- when the French authorities (Jonathan Pryce is their spoiled, wormy leader; his buffoon of a henchman is played by a tiresome Peter Stormare) collar them for their fraudulent activities.
		At its best, "The Brothers Grimm" is like some strange, hoary picture book come to life, the sort of thing your parents might have hidden away in a cupboard because they knew it would scare you.

	The Brothers Grimm
		The plot borrows liberally from the Grimm brothers’ best-known (in the English-speaking realm) fairy tales, breathing new life into them for a new generation.
		Brothers Jakob (Heath Ledger) (well, actually he’s just “Jake”) and Wilhelm (Matt Damon) (who’s really just “Will,” and good at hunting indeed) are a pair of late-eighteenth-century ghostbusters out to make a quick buck.
		In sharp contrast, realistic, hard-nosed brother Will tends toward the heroic bravura of action heroism, and his ability to turn the ladies’ heads by his physical prowess proves both a weakness and a saving grace.

		The movie is a fantasy take on the fairy-tale writers Brothers Grimm, who are depicted in this version as hucksters traveling from town to town with a reputation as fearless monster slayers, claiming they can exorcise supernatural terrors — for a fee.

		Brothers Grimm has been in post-production for some time, in part due to the divorce of the Weinstein brothers' film company, Miramax, from Disney.

	Brothers Grimm
		Although the seemingly random means in which the little tykes are kidnapped have less to do with the requirements of the story than they do with Gilliam having a bit of ghastly fun, there’s no denying their creepy, unsettling effectiveness.
		For all the film’s fantasy-laden plot and eye-candy spectacle, however, “Brothers Grimm” is weakest in its characters, all of whom end up swimming with clichés.
		In this respect, “Brothers Grimm” could have taken more inspiration from its sibling in fantasy, “Sleepy Hollow,” which succeeded in creating a memorable protagonist with enough depth to hold up to the fantastical plot.

	"The Brothers Grimm" (2005) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Ultimately, The Brothers Grimm is fashioned with a familiar fairy-tale formula, replete with various depictions of evil, but one that results in a redemptive, happy ending.
		This “Grimm” tale starts off in French occupied Germany in 1796 with two young boys who are trying to save their sick mother, but one of them exchanges all they have for magic beans.
		As for the brothers themselves, Will was an immoral, greedy individual who didn’t seem to care for his brother at all.

		So when it came time to make Terry Gilliam's latest fantasy saga, "The Brothers Grimm," the two embraced their similarities, as well as their shared desire to be cast against type.
		"The real Brothers Grimm were scholars; they were these amazing heroes in Germany who discovered this folklore and shone a light on it, and made Germans proud of their heritage," Damon points out.
		"The Brother's Grimm were responsible for these fairytales that informed my life and made it as interesting, or as confused, or as wondrous as it is," insists the revered "Twelve Monkeys" director.
