One thing that was said about it when it first came out in AUS, was a lot of Americans who watched it didn't really get it because it has segments that really run towards the Australian's sense of humor. the Aussie's loved it, but it didn't ever get very well recieved in US. So that may be true.
I loved Heath's Jacob in Brother's Grimm!! SIGH!!!
I ordered The Brothers Grimm and Casanova at Amazon Marketplace today.

There were definitely times in the movie (Two Hands) that I know they were trying to be funny. Not necessarily laugh-out-loud funny, but just things that were ludicrous. And maybe it was because I was having to try so hard to understand what they were saying a lot of the time, or maybe because I was so nervous about what was going to happen to Heath's character, but it just didn't come across as funny. Apparently I wasn't the only one who didn't think so. But Heath was
fine to look at. (Did I already say that?

)
