I wanted to see Mirror Mirror from the first time I saw a preview of the movie.
The movie is a version of Snow White. It tells the same basic story of Snow White growing up with a stepmother after her father disappears. The stepmother keeps Snow confined to the castle before trying to do away with her. There are a few new elements, like the Queen having money problems and deciding to marry the young Prince Alcott who shows up and the dwarves being bandits. Some of what happens is a bit predictable since the basic story is so well known, but that doesn't keep the movie from being fun and entertaining. There are even a few small surprises thanks to the changes to the story. There is a decent amount of humor added that I think works. Some people might think that the movie is too silly. Some parts are a little silly, but that works for the movie, helping to make it fun and entertaining. The characters are all tweaked in ways that are interesting and the cast is great. I really enjoyed the movie and I'm sure I'll add it to my collection eventually.
I did post a longer review of the movie at Epinions.
