I didn't really last until the "action" part of the movie, but as a dark comedy about an incompatible couple, it's pretty unappealing.  I mean to the extent that I kept wanting the narrative to follow minor characters or even extras.  Doug Liman directed.

I liked the prologue but then the girl fairy grew up to be a shouty Angelina Jolie and the film literally and figuratively darkened.  I guess this is based on a book, in the sense that it's loosely from the Perrault fairytale.  Robert Stromberg directed.
