Snow White seems to be the new craze in the world right now and Mirror Mirror is just one of many to cash in.
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” it’s the up and coming actress Lilly Collins, who was cast as Snow White, alongside big time actress Julia Roberts, who plays the evil queen. The movie is not 100% the fairy tale, with the seven dwarfs becoming the seven rebels.
After being exiled, Snow White enlists help from the seven rebels and fights to win back her bright light from the evil queen, who has taken control of the kingdom. Snow White’s love interest Prince Alcott, played by Armie Hammer, is also there to help her win back her light.
With the Hunger Games opening the weekend before it was almost certain that Mirror Mirror would not take the number one spot, the movie opened up at number three. It grossed in 19.0 million for the weekend. The movie had been scheduled for a March 16th release and then a June 29th date; it had been rescheduled twice only to land n March 30th. They would have had better luck at getting a number one spot for the weekend had they stayed with the March 16th date.
If you’re a fan of the story than go ahead and try this movie, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Although this movie is good it is not that much of a difference from all the countless adaptation before it, which is a little bit disappointing. Aside from that it is a generally alright movie and I do recommend it for any Snow White fan; it’s based off the Brother’s Grim version of the tale.
Younger children might enjoy Mirror Mirror because it's bright, shiny and pretty.
