Mirror Mirror

Pure magic that radiates from the screen, Mirror Mirror brings the classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs children's story to life. The film is visually stunning with vivid scenery, lush costumes, and larger than life characters. Once Upon a Time there was a king who loved his daughter Snow White very much. Sadly her mother died wen Snow was very young. To be a good father, the king remarried the most beautiful woman in the land. One day the king had to leave Snow White and The Queen and he was lost in the dark forest, never to be heard from again. Snow was raised by The Queen who became evil and bitter toward Snow and her beauty. Snow was the rightful ruler of the kingdom so The Queen kept her locked up in the castle. On Snow's 18th birthday she left te castle and met a handsome prince and seven tiny dwarfs and that is where our story really begins.

The film stars Julia Roberts as the wicked queen who has the whole village believing that Snow White is a shut in. Poor Snow is not allowed to leave the palace and mostly must stay to her room and the servant quarters. Snow White is played by The film is directed by Tarsem, who is one of my all time favorite directors. He is India so all of his films have these India influences that add so much to the film. In this case it was the music and costumes. The dresses were large and could fit 3 people in them. The colors were so bright and vivid that add so much to the character's personality.

The film has a pretty basic story, it is a film for children. There is not a ton of adult humor, a bit here and there. Nothing vulgar more innocent and funny. It has a very big laugh factor, the seven dwarfs are so charming and funny. They have a quick wit that can keep up with Snow's sweet spunky nature. The Prince has some very embarrassing moments that the kids will laugh till their sides are sore.

Over all I enjoyed this movie, it was entertaining and charming. Keep in mind that it is a children's films and I think you will be very happy. Personally, I wish that Julia Roberts was just a little bit more evil but she does ok. I suppose I always picture merciless and dark. Julia was cheery with a bit of evil on the side.
