For something that looked entirely corny. this became somewhat of an absurdist view of the enchanted fairy tales. It is a "what if" scenario. What if fairy tale characters got to come to the real world and experience the ups and downs of real life? The answer isn't too far off in this film.
Set in New York City, each character experiences life for the first time. Much like 3rd Rock from the Sun, the characters have a hard time making out what things do. So you get James Marsden arguing with the TV, Amy Adams using rats and roaches to clean an apartment, and Susan Surandon being Susan Surandon. And don't forget James Marsden stabbing that bus - thinking he is freeing some peasants.
In the end, it becomes more normal like and loses its buzz. But its still nice. "B"
