This classic Brothers' Grimm tale stars Lilly Collins as Snow White, Julia Roberts as the evil queen and Armie Hammer as the handsome Prince.  (**Fun Fact: Did you know that Armie Hammer starred in the "Social Network?") The movie included beautiful costumes and gorgeous set designs, but I've observed that shimmer, decoration and glittering gold cannot make a film. Generally I thought Julia Roberts did a good job, adding a cynical bite to the character of the queen. It seemed as though she was the star of the show which is a fatal mistake to make in a fairy tale movie in which the princess should be the star. Lilly Collins wasn't good nor bad, considering she had significantly less lines than the queen, and looked the part of Snow White. However I must acknowledge the feminist element of Snow White being the one to weld her own sword, and fight her own battle. I love that! I love fairytales, but why shouldn't girls save the day? ("Ever After" starring Drew Barrymore does this as well.) A few personal critiques is that I didn't care much for the "puppy dog spell" and it wasn't really necessary for the apple to make an appearance at all. This film is aesthetically pleasing, but without the costumes, the sets, the gold, and the sparkle the script looks pretty barren.

6.7/10
Skip it :( - **I don't think it hurts to watch, but I wouldn't spend $11-14 at the movie to go see it.
