This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.”
About the cast:

– Emily Blunt as the baker’s wife

I can hardly recognize Meryl Streep with that make-up! Can’t wait to see her performance, I’m sure she will nail it! Plus there’s Johnny Depp, so the film will definitely be a must see!
