The computerised animation is cut-rate; the script keeps piling on clunker jokes that even toddlers will find lame; and Prinze proves he isn't any better an actor in two dimensions than he is in three.

You expect a certain amount of sugar and snark in a modern children's film, but this tossed-off retelling reeks of folks just out to make a cheap buck.
David Fear, Time Out New York
Rotten
N'ever was an apostrophe so misplaced, n'ever was the prospect of good cheer so perversely defeated.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Rotten
A leaden, irritatingly obvious postmodern fairy tale.
Tasha Robinson, AV Club

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.
