Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/07/2010 (5569 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Brothers Grimm have their famous archetypes pummelled into comic submission yet again in this energetic sequel to last year’s fairy-tale fracturing.
The four cast members in this well-known Edmonton ensemble not only chew up the scenery, they swallow up the lights and spit out the glass as they re-act lewd and slapstick-filled versions of Hansel & Gretel, The Three Spinners and a half dozen other Grimm fables.
Heads get cut off, tongues get pulled from mouths and “suspiciously cackling old crones” get what they deserve.
Most of these over-acted shenanigans are standard fringe fare. But there are dozens of clever jokes in the fast-paced 60 minutes, and the actors certainly know their way around a pratfall.
— Morley Walker
