Call me rash, but I wager the worst flick of 2007 is Sarah Michelle Gellar's latest clunker, Happily N'ever After.

Consensus: Happily N'Ever After has none of the moxy, edge, or postmodern wit of the other fairy-tales-gone-haywire CG movie it so blatantly rips off.

Reviews for Happily N'Ever After
There's one great clue that the picture was not born in Hollywood: the heaving bosoms. Only the Germans would bestow such careful, pillowy attention to the bustline of the wicked stepmother and the flying witches.

This isn't unwatchable or boring. Not like Everyone's Hero, Open Season or Over the Hedge. But it's still so done.
01/06/07
Nothing much of any import or interest happens to get us to the end we predicted within the first two minutes, so if for some masochistic reason you do let your kid drag you to this, this would be a good time to catch a nap.
01/05/07
The wizard appears for two minutes at film's start before he smartly abandons the movie. You'll wish you had the good sense to walk out with him.
01/05/07
'Happily N'Ever After' boasts lots of high-powered voice talent but not much charm or pizzazz.
01/05/07
Bring one of those clip-on reading lights and a good book.
01/05/07
N'ever was an apostrophe so misplaced, n'ever was the prospect of good cheer so perversely defeated.
01/05/07
In all, it's a peculiar mishmash, simultaneously bland and suggestive.
01/05/07
A leaden, irritatingly obvious postmodern fairy tale.
01/05/07
Essentially a brash comedy taking one idea as far as it can go, Happily N'Ever After is spare on emotional development but generous with smart-aleck shtick.
01/05/07
'As Grimm as it gets,' says the promotional tag for Happily N'Ever After. Make that grim.
01/05/07
The movie's animators have been quoted saying they sought to give it a classic look. Cheesy would be more accurate.
01/05/07
Painfully devoid of charm, wit, and ingenuity, this interminable, tongue-in-cheek slough through Fairy Tale Land is so jaw-droppingly awful, the executors of the Brothers Grimm literary estate should consider taking legal action.
01/05/07
Happily N'Ever After is proof-positive that Europeans may have us beaten in soccer, wine and luxury cars, but they still can't make a decent 3-D cartoon.
01/05/07
[An] unfunny, trying-to-be-hip fairytale, with ugly CGI animation, a few bad songs, and Andy Dick and Patrick Warburton doing some of voices.
01/05/07
'I hate to tell you, but it gets worse,' one character promises midway through Happily N'Ever After. No kidding.
01/05/07
While new times deserve new tales, this ground has already been trodden -- twice -- by a more memorable ogre than any you'll find in Ella's enchanted forest.
01/05/07
Originally conceived as a 2-D picture, Happily was retooled into a 3-D computer-animated film during production. Still, it still somehow feels a bit flat.
01/05/07
It may satisfy the under-6 crowd with its bright colors and talking animals. But it's not much fun for the rest of the family.
