Mirror Mirror is, as you might expect, the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs told in a radical way. The evil queen starves her people and punishes Snow White for being more beautiful than her. Until one day when Snow manages to escape, meet a handsome prince and team up with a group of seven dwarfs in her attempt to stop the queen and redeem her throne.All seems pretty classic but it sure isn't. Instead of being an animation, it's a proper, live-action movie presented in a rather unique way, let's say...a parody. A classic story presented as a parody is not something very common isn't it? Never mind, we're talking about a very funny movie, which tries to retell a fairytale in an entertaining way managing to not deviate a lot from the main story, even making it unexpected. Although it may look unpolished and made in a hurry, I must tell you, I really enjoyed it, and the fact that Julia Roberts and Lily Collins play the main roles, I think it means something. I wish you a nice watch! In my opinion it deserves it!

too criticize it is very easy. Lily Collins is far to be the perfect choice for Snow White, Julia Roberts gives a too strange character. Nathan Lane is the only OK. other actor was the better choice for the Prince. the great problem is to analyse too serious each aspect of movie and ignore its humor. because , against expectations, it is a comedy. not the best but charming and real comfortable. its target - a large public. its purpose - not to propose a parody but another manner to discover a classic fairy tale. and the result is far to be bad. the costumes, the evil queen who is only a poor woman in a delicate period. Snow White who is only a child who becomes the brave woman, the prince who has not the chance to be more than himself, the costumes, songs and adventures, all as ideal package for a lovely gift. for a year in which Snow White was disputed by two adaptations, Mirror Mirror propose a nice way to discover the old fairy tale in a colorful and real nice manner.

Just saw this on TV April 2016. Loved it!!! Lots of cute humor, using modern expressions. Loved the scenery, costumes and cinematography. Nathan Lane was perfect....spot on. Great to see a different side to Ms. Roberts. The ending song, performed with a modern flare, and the accompanying music video were quite unexpected and fun to watch. This version of Snow White can be most appreciated by older adults who have grown tired of the vulgarity and villains that inhabit most movies and TV. At 56, I want a bit of positive escapism!!! Hats off to the production crew for making every detail in this movie count. I was amazed at the creativity of the sets and costumes!!!

Tarsem Singh's adaptation of "Snow White" depicts the queen (Julia Roberts) less as an evil maniac and more as a bored rich woman who puts all her resources into vanity. I thought that the most interesting character in "Mirror Mirror" was Nathan Lane as the queen's lackey. In fact, one scene in particular stands out. When the queen decides that she wants to have a ball, she sends the lackey to post a note about a tax increase. He tells the people that their taxes prevent the monster from attacking the kingdom. In other words, contribute to the war machine or the terrorists win.It wasn't any sort of impressive movie, but it wasn't bad. Snow White herself seemed kind of flat, but I liked the dwarfs. There was another adaptation of "Snow White" around the same time but I've never seen it.
