It's been released since last week here in Dubai, and was hesitant to go see it until the good reviews starting appearing (91% on RT at the moment). And I had a blast. Sure, it's for kids (I'm a 32 year old man), but it's so spirited, funny and with great production values. Roberts pulled off the Evil Queen with grace; as in, she didn't have to go over the top. I liked her approach. It was also "clean" family fun, without the usual innuendo and the endless pop-culture references.

I enjoyed it. I loved the twist to this old fairytale. I found it engaging. I think its something for the whole family. Beautiful setting. I loved the costumes. And I thought it was great the way it ended. Naturally, I had to go find the song at the end to download.

Everyone was good in it and the fantasy element was unique (loved those puppet monsters). Julia Roberts was funny while devious and somewhat sinister. Lily Collins was adorable, can't wait to her again. Armie Hammer was suprisingly hilarious was a great leading man (can't wait to see what he does as The Lone Ranger). And finally, all the dwarfs stole every scene they were in, absolutely hysterical.

I saw it yesterday the saturday matinee in a theater loaded w/ kids. Many of the jokes and references went over their heads (fine with me.) I'm a middle aged woman and did enjoy the movie. Is it great cinema? Certainly not. but it's sweet, and fun. End of story. Nathan Lane was terrific; the dwarfs (or dwarves, depending on which dictionary you use) were skillful and had some great lines. Julia? Adorable.
Just a decent family film. -

I loved it. A nice mix of kid-friendly and adult-friendly humor with no pointless potty humor.
It's a much more authentic and innocent fairy tale film than I was expecting as well. The trailer would have you believe it's a full on cynical Shrek lampooning of fairy tales but it's really not. Roles are reversed and tongue in cheek humor is there but it is a classic fairy tale at heart.
Some of the humor did fall flat for me but overall I really enjoyed this. Charming and visually captivating.
