The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I think the point of this movie is that Violet wants a life in the outside world but she is so close with Grace she will never be able to leave her. The entrance of Luke into Violet's life begins to stir things and makes her question herself; she has this great bond with her sister but she loves Luke & he can give her the life she wants. Through the movie Grace seems to be having the flashbacks about how she always has to be the winner and she can never fail. I think it's this blind and selfish drive that destroys Violet since it is expected that Grace would be as protective of Violet as Violet is of her. I still didn't understand the physical connection they shared as well like how they can feel the other sister's pain. I also completely hate Grace for ruining the chance of a happy ending for Violet and Luke.

The thing I truly disliked about this film was all the loose ends that were never tied up. Were the girls psychically linked to each other, or was the redhead just able to do voodoo on Alicia (like when she burnt her picture and Alicia felt it). And what was up with their parents? I got the feeling that something really evil went down in that house. Like their mother was murdered or something, yet they never explain. ALso, what was with Alicia's reaction when the blonde guy was playing around with the dead mother's things. And don't get me started on the dad. He dressed like a magician, and the whole thing he kept saying about "lead to gold, lead to gold"...I'm still confused on that part. Also, the paintings that moved around, and were moaning when the fire broke out. Was that house under some kind of spell or were the girls just stir crazy from being locked up? Oh, and they never fully explained what "the plan" was that the girls had. Was it just to get one of them knocked up by some random guy? Needless to say, I am still scratching my head over this mess!

Yes I am the type that reads the back of the DVD case but I never expected what I didn't get. I loved the images of the twisted fairy tale but, the movie seemed like someone had yanked a page out of a Gothic teenagers dreams. I did not understand what the title had to do with the story. It seems that the writer of the film scammed some imagery from Francesca Leah Bloch. This movie seemed to have jumped off the twisted pages of this woman's retelling of fairy tales in modern day terms. All the princesses are schizophrenic and the princes are handsome, screwed up and bipolar. Good luck if you can make sense out of this hodgepodge of victorian furniture, hippy rags and twisted sisters. Toward the end I did begin to understand the older sister and the description of obsession on the back of the box.

It was an interesting premise for a movie, however, it had the tendency to lose it's impetus by attempting to be too art house. It captured the interest by keeping the watcher intent on working out exactly who was trying to achieve what and with whom but, more importantly why? It made for a kind of Charmed meets tortured soul effect, not, it has to be said a great combination for a movie. The dynamic of the sisters with their warped control freak father was nicely worked, leaving the watcher to draw their own conclusions about exactly what he got up to when mom wasn't looking.Interesting boho kitsch costume for the girls and a nice stud muffin too!
