Another brave Princess! Thanks Disney!

This was a fun and empowering twist to Disney's original Snow White. The princess saves the prince, the dwarves steal for a living, and the apple is never bitten.
I took my 4-year-old daughter who enjoyed the movie very much. The plot was within her grasp, and she loved the slapstick comedy from the dwarves. It was also nice for me to explain to her that the princess had courage, and took matters into her own hands.
Lily Collins is beautiful and talented. She delivers with such ease and elegance that it looks easy; the comparisons to Audrey Hepburn are evitable. Nathan Lane was great, as always. Armie Hammer was a great pick as the handsome and humorous prince.
I absolutely disagree with the consensus that Julia Roberts was a good choice as the evil queen: her "accent" was spotty, her delivery was haphazard, and her "wickedness" was mediocre. I think she was more "evil" in some of her romantic comedies (pick one, they're all the same). It felt as if no one directed her because they were afraid she'd pull from the movie. She made the movie lose a star for me!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Full of belly laughs!

This movie is great brainless, relaxing entertainment. It doesn't delve too deeply into any character's psyche or evoke any journey of enlightenment, which is exactly what some of us need sometimes: just light, easy, brainless FUN! I laughed through almost the entire movie, and did not feel like I took years off of my life at the end (which is all too common a feeling when I actually go to the theater). Gerard Butler is precious as Mike, and made for some very funny scenes that even guys would enjoy!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
