Review of Mirror Mirror (2012) by James M — 02 Oct 2013

One of two 2012 movies adapted from the fairy tale Snow White, the other being Snow White & The Huntsman. Personally, I feel the latter was the better film. Just.

This one uses a pantomime style to the other's more action-orientated fantasy, although I think the performances are slightly better in this. Lily Collins is a much more convincing Snow White than Kristen Zombie and Julia Roberts is rather hilarious, vamping it up as the evil queen.

My interest started to flag in the final half-hour of this, but it's the most family-friendly of the two movies. I'd say it would be a decent Christmas movie.
