It takes the film a deadly long time to kick in, and when it does, it largely retreads formula: ironic use of pop standards, musical numbers with contemporary choreography played for maximum laughs, risque one-liners. By the middle of the second act, Forever After finally finds its groove, becoming mildly amusing (actors Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas are in fine form) but never rising to the inspired heights of the original. And the 3-D effects are so weak as to bring nothing to the table.
