Well, if you enjoy Brit humor and tongue in cheek you might giggle a bit through this one. Damon had a pretty good Brit accent which was really weird since the Grimm's weren't English. Basic premise is the Grimms created fairytales by staging them all around the countryside and banishing the intruding ghosts, goblins, and spirits while collecting fate fees for their work. Then they run up against the "real thing" and Lena Headley as the strong willed feminist-like villager determined to save the disappearing children from her village.

Gilliam directed so it has a high quality look with humor that's not exactly aimed at the American belly button. Second thought, rent it or see it on the tele.
