Here it is, another Snow White film, but this time with the daughter of Phil Collins as the lead, and also leading one of the worst ending credits song and dance routines ever.
While the plot remained similar to the story we all know and love, the modernized take on this classic was an epic failure.
The American film institutions have a tendency to release similar movies all the time.  Even in the last couple of years we saw “No Strings Attached” and “Friends with Benefits.”  We have seen “A Bug’s Life” and “Antz,” and even older “Dante’s Peak” and “Volcano.”  However, this time, compared with “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Mirror Mirror” didn’t even come close.
Lily Collins, whose acting abilities must still be progressing, could only have been chosen based on looks.  After all, fair skin and ebony hair are requirements.
And, with a big name like Julia Roberts in the role of the evil queen, the movie is no longer about Snow White. The movie begins and ends with narrations from Roberts.  While we expect excellent acting from Roberts, to see her choose this role was surprising.
The movie’s high points include a flirtatious sword fight and fun group of dwarfs, still with no acting abilities and chosen for looks.
Director Tarsem Singh never lets the darkness and evil of the movie get too scary for the childrens’ sake.  But who would subject their child to this?
