But a little overdone and fake at times I thought. My seven year old niece could've made a more convincing evil queen. I think this could easily be the worst movie that she has ever done. For the most part, the acting was also terrible. It tried to be funny the whole movie and I think I chuckled once or twice and that was it. On top of that, the script was overly cheesy and bad. I was really hoping he would get smashed. He got turned into a cockroach halfway through. The queen's little henchman was annoying. He certainly had zero chemistry with Snow White. In that scene I was hoping he would jump out of the window and kill himself. There was a scene where the Queen turns his personality into that of a dog and throws something out of the window for him to fetch. Julia Roberts as the evil queen was just completely awful. I didn't like the story in this, even though I like Snow White. The way they did things just made it dumb. But if this were my first ever exposure to Snow White, I may never want to watch a Snow White movie again. Moving on, I have more things to complain about. When I get married and have a family, this is not a movie I will ever buy for my kids to watch. Just small dumb things like that are scattered throughout the movie that are not a big deal for mature audiences, but for younger kids that the movie is directed to its not appropriate. Then there is a scene where the prince is acting like a dog due to a potion and jumps on the queen while she is on her bed and starts liking her in the face. She is covered good enough with a few towels, but does show off a lot of skin in the process. Then there is a scene where Julia Roberts is getting ready for the day and in what I guess is her wanting to feel evil, she spreads bird poop all over her face and uses several bugs like worms and scorpions to help her prepare. One of these scenes has two males hanging chest to chest in their underwear. The dwarfs like making their captives take off their clothes, no there is no nudity and yes all the victims of this are wearing long underwear, but it still happens. Snow White's outfits all show off cleavage. Yes it is PG and no it doesn't deserve PG-13, but if I'm a parent, I'm not taking my younger kids to see this and I'm certainly not buying it as a movie for my 5 year old to watch over and over because it really isn't appropriate for that young age. The first issue I have correlates with the idea that this is a kids movie. Mirror Mirror is the one that is directed towards kids. This Snow White was intended as a light-hearted movie directed towards the younger crowd while the other is a Lord of the Rings esque movie directed towards adults. The more broad fairy tale fetish will continue next year with spin offs of Hansel and Gretel as well as Jack and the Bean Stalk. Now if you didn't know this already, there is a slight Snow White fetish this year in Hollywood with two Snow White movies coming out this year. Yes, I saw Mirror Mirror recently on a fun Mother/Son outing with my mom and my opinion of it wasn't very high at all, if you didn't catch that from my first paragraph. If it weren't for a few select good aspects, it would be an utter pile of garbage." "What my dear boy? Why do you need to even ask this question? There really is only one Snow White movie coming out this year because the other one is a complete joke of a movie that is an embarrassment to the Snow White franchise. "Mirror mirror on the wall, which Snow White movie coming out this year will be the best one of all?"
