This is a so-so production of the Snow White story. A quick synopsis for those who were able to avoid the story or were indoctrinated by Disney. The King becomes a father. The wife dies in childbirth. By accident or by design, the king marries a witchy woman. She's so vain she thinks this story is about her, doesn't she? Naturally, the daughter Snow White (Lily Collins) outshines the Queen and must be dispatched. The tale contains a prince who cannot stay clothed, giant dwarves, and an evil beast of the forest.
In one scene, Nathan Lane is turned into a c-o-c-k-r-o-a-c-h. I thought it was a jab at Franz Kafka.
They tried too hard to be cutesy. I must say the absence of animation or songs was refreshing. As usual, Julia Roberts made a nice witchy woman. Unfortunately, it's also one of those productions that contain ancient clothes and contemporary snotty language, not potty mouth, just snotty.
It's worth a one-time view to see an alternate version of the story, then it is forgettable.
