	The Brothers Grimm - explorefaith Film
		To summarize briefly, the film is about Jake and Will Grimm, two brothers who travel the German countryside during the late 1800s conning ignorant peasants into believing they can rid their villages of enchanted creatures.
		Then again, perhaps this is the brothers’ big opportunity to prove they are more than mere charlatans; a chance to make up for all the times they ripped people off and perform a public service instead.
		This could have been a brilliant film, especially if you consider all the possibilities that arise when you open the door for the Grimm brothers’ yarns to morph with reality into an unsettling mobius strip of a story.

	Brothers Grimm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the brothers recorded the style of speech of the speaker for their research (which eventually led to the formulation of Grimm's Law), they also recorded the various stories that they were told, and eventually published them (in 1817).
		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.

	UGO.com DVD - The Brothers Grimm DVD Review
		The Brothers Grimm, director Terry Gilliam's return to the big screen after the disaster that was his attempt at The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (captured in every tragic detail in the documentary Lost In La Mancha), didn't go over that well at the box office.
		The visually striking film left a bit to be desired in the narrative department, so it was pushed as a "different kind of summer blockbuster," and got lost in the summer shuffle.
		Gilliam mumbles his way through the film commentary, as well as through the numerous deleted scenes (lamenting his wastefulness), and offers a few tasty tidbits and some rare gems (the first of which is his admission that he embarked on the project because he was unemployed..

	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.

	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.

		Along the way, the scholarly Jacob collects a rich repository of local lore that, if the film’s conceit is to be believed, form the basis of their famous collection of fairy tales.
		Eventually, they are pressed back into service as exorcists, but this time, the enemy is real, and the Grimms must use all their skills to escape death at the hands of either the evil spirits or the French.
		A key relationship in the film (the "love interest") is handled inexcusably badly, with no chemistry or conviction between Ledger and Lena Headey, playing the mysterious local girl Angelika.

	The Brothers Grimm (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.

		Gilliam, looking to move on from the disastrous end to his film about Don Quixote when financing was abruptly pulled, has chosen to guide the stories of the Brothers Grimm in a not so fairytale way for co-producers MGM and Dimension Films.
		A Dimension Films-MGM co-production, Brothers Grimm is the story of two traveling con artists who perform bogus exorcisms and pretend to protect people from enchanted creatures until they encounter a real magical curse in a haunted forest.

	The Brothers Grimm (2005): Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Jonathan Pryce, Lena Headey - PopMatters Film Review
		Once upon a time, in 1796, the brothers Grimm were children, poor and living with their kind, much put upon mother.
		When one brother comes home with a packet of "magic beans" in exchange for the family cow, he's left an infant sibling crying in hunger and his brother disappointed in him, apparently not for the first time.
		The battle engaged by the brothers has them looking through their work-cases of props and gimmicks to find objects of some use, and suddenly, their gadgets of pretense have become a matter of survival.

	Screentalk Film Review - The Brothers Grimm
		The fatal flaw of The Brothers Grimm, is that Gilliam never found something to latch his fantastically twisted vision of the cinematic world on in Ehren Kruger's unmemorable Shrek-like take on the legendary brothers.
		The film could have been an interesting dissection of the way writers of fiction, and, by extension, film, use reality to both cheat and reward their audience.
		As the brothers are forced to investigate a real legend, the Queen of Mirrors (Monica Bellucci) and her kidnapping of small children, the film becomes shockingly dull.

		The Brothers Grimm isn't Terry Gilliam's smartest film, or his most personal, or the one where his imagination has the freest reign (it was executive produced by the Weinstein brothers).
		Delatombe dispatches the brothers, under the watching eye of his eccentric torturer Cavaldi (Stormare), to the village of Marbaden, where children have been disappearing in the woods.
		Will is determined to debunk the peculiar goings-on ("There is a rational explanation for all of this") but his brother senses that enchantment is at work.

	The Brothers Grimm
		A film with all the drama and flair of a Tuesday Morning tchotchke shop, The Brothers Grimm is the only Terry Gilliam film since Jabberwocky that I've actively disliked.
		There may be a lot of people responsible for what's wrong with The Brothers Grimm, but the bulk of the responsibility for its failure is parked square at Gilliam's doorstep--and the rest of it belongs to nitwit screenwriter Ehren Kruger, whose flavour-of-the-month status might finally be souring.
		The Brothers Grimm is hard work that reaps no rewards, with a plot that is at once the very model of simplicity and the very definition of convoluted.

	Dreams: The Brothers Grimm, by Terry Gilliam
		Film was originally skedded to shoot in 17 weeks, but a replacement cinematographer (Newton Thomas Siegel) and the complicated effects resulted in the delay.
		Today, though, he's in the Czech Republic having the time of his life on Gilliam's fantasy biopic of the Grimm brothers, Inside his trailer, Ledger is listening to hip-hop and twitching like an asylum inmate, endlessly pulling at his loose t-shirt, limbs flailing in uncontrollable spasms, and rubbing a bottle of water on his chest.
		According to the MGM studio, Brothers Grimm will be a popular advantageous film full of mysterious myths and spectres with the leading characters of the Grimm brothers wandering round the villages collecting fairy tales and legends.

		The Brothers Grimm is a suspenseful light-hearted ghost story in the cinematic tradition of such movies as Pirates of the Caribbean, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Sleepy Hollow.
		The Brothers Grimm is spooky and maybe a little scary/disturbing for young children but don't see the movie expecting a thriller- after all the movie is based on Grimm's fairytales.
		One of these deleted scenes, in which the two brothers and their "lady fair" are attempting to escape the attack of an enchanted tree, is one of the most expensive scenes to ever have not made it into the movie!

	CNN.com - Review: 'Grimm' gorgeous but empty - Aug 26, 2005
		The film isn't about the real Brothers Grimm; it's a fairy tale within a fairy tale set during the early Enlightenment, when superstition and mythology still ran rampant.
		Accused of kidnapping girls from the village of Marbaden, the brothers, along with a local huntress, Angelika (Lena Headey), are sent into an enchanted forest to solve the mystery of the missing girls and thereby prove the brothers' innocence.
		The Grimms find gnarled trees that turn into monsters and an evil queen (Monica Bellucci) who is loosely based on the queen from "Snow White." There are also brief appearances by other classic Grimm characters, including Little Red Riding Hood, the Gingerbread Man, Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel.

		Before reviewing The Brothers Grimm, it might be pertinent to explain the background of the director, Terry Gilliam.
		His brother Jacob is the exact opposite: bookish, introverted, and prone to flights of fantasy.
		With Cavaldi in tow, the Grimm brothers (or as Cavaldi likes to call them, "Grimmi") are sent out to do battle with whatever thing is kidnapping the children.

	The Brothers Grimm (2005) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Realistically, if you reflect on the ‘real-life’ story of two brothers who wrote stories about an old woman who shoves children into a stove or a woman who didn’t cut her hair for years…strange is key.
		With Will and Jake Grimm (Damon and Ledger), the adventures are more fantastic than true, but truth always seems to find a way into the forefront by the end of these fables, on paper or the silver screen.
		To summarize briefly, the film is about Jake and Will Grimm, two brothers who travel the German countryside during the late 1800s conning ignorant peasants into believing they can rid their villages of enchanted creatures.

	The Brothers Grimm film review
		Putting Terry Gilliam, a director renowned for his fantastical vision, in charge of a story about the Brothers Grimm, siblings known for their wondrous fairy tales, would appear a perfect match.
		Produced by Dimension Films, who are best known as purveyors of horror, The Brothers Grimm certainly plays up the darker, more macabre aspects of the brothers' fairy tales, including as it does elements of Red Riding Hood, Hansel & Gretel and Rapunzel.
		A child-eating horse, 500 year-old Mirror Queen and walking trees are just some of the strange beings the brothers encounter in their quest to resolve a mystery that haunts a German village.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Brothers Grimm
		Long-delayed by Miramax's Harvey Weinstein because of (alleged) "creative differences" with its director, Gilliam's first film in seven years is a fairy tale origin story in which titular 18th-century storytellers Will (Matt Damon) and Jake (Heath Ledger) Grimm are itinerant charlatans who bilk superstitious nitwits by posing as mystical creature exterminators.
		Jake is a dreamer with faith in the fantastic while brother Will, still smarting over Jake's childhood sale of the family cow for magic beans, is a dogged pragmatist.
		The film's aesthetic is what might be called "storybook grotesquery," a quirky visual and narrative combination of monstrous caricatures, low-brow slapstick gags (highlighted by an off-screen bit about mass spitting), and a supernatural-tinged world whose charm is due, in part, to its menacing deformity.

	The Brothers Grimm - Rotten Tomatoes
		The Brothers Grimm is full of beautiful imagery, but the story is labored and less than enchanting.
		Gilliam is a film artist with a grand and copious vision that he incorporates into every frame of every film like a potion.
		The Brothers Grimm is a work of limitless invention, but it is invention without pattern, chasing itself around the screen without finding a plot.

	Filmtracks: The Brothers Grimm (Dario Marianelli)
		The Brothers Grimm: (Dario Marianelli) Whenever you approach a Terry Gilliam film, whether you're a film reviewer, a soundtrack reviewer, or an everyday moviegoer, you have to expect yourself to be transported into a macabre world of fantasy where terrible things happen simply because they're funny and unexpected.
		To describe the plot of this tale would do too much injustice to the film, but in a nutshell, two brothers who scam villagers by posing as 19th Century European ghostbusters are at a loss when they are suddenly thrust into the task of solving a real mystery.
		Without a doubt, The Brothers Grimm pounds you relentlessly with marching sequence after marching sequence, fresh rhythm after fresh rhythm, and by the end, the overarching consistent element in the score is its own domineering attitude.

	Film-Forward Review: [THE BROTHERS GRIMM]
		In his first film since 1998's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Terry Gilliam directs from a self-consciously phantasmagoric script by Ehren Kruger (The Ring Two and The Skeleton Key) in which the Brothers Grimm are playfully rewritten into their own fables.
		But soon the brothers encounter a truly enchanted forest, and the film quickly accelerates into a variety of fantastic surroundings and surreal visuals that only Gilliam can produce.
		The brothers differ in their perceptions of the con man's artful deceits.

	The Brothers Grimm by Dario Marianelli \| Cinemusic.net Soundtrack Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As with all Gilliam films, Brothers Grimm has had a long and complicated history of making it to the screen, and the film's score was no different.
		In Brother's Grimm, he has to contend with an equally formidable pair of literary figures, whose lyrical and terrifying stories weren't that far removed from Colleridge's drug induced nightmares.
		The march is designed to make a mockery of the brothers' sham enterprise, a plot element that only briefly features in the film - as a result, the march gets very little airing outside of the opening and closing credits sequences.
