What the Critics say | ||
| ReelViews James Berardinelli  Into the Woods can claim a clever screenplay and a few enjoyable performances but little else. | 13 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs wish I liked this offering better as I heard so many people raving about the original musical. While I'll give it a slight recommendation, it just didn't do much for me and thus I doubt it will get any repeat viewings on this end, unlike many other films of its ilk. | 11 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer On the whole, this Disney adaptation of the Sondheim classic sits comfortably at the corner of Hollywood and Broadway -- even if it darkens to its detriment in the final act. | 14 | |
