Movie Review: Mirror, Mirror

I’m always looking for good movies to watch with my kids, movies that not only will they enjoy, but a movie that doesn’t actually have me daydreaming about all the things I could be doing instead of watching it! So when we noticed Mirror, Mirror was available on On-Demand, it seemed like the perfect movie for us. My kids had wanted to see it when it was in theaters, and it was appealing to me, as well.

Mirror, Mirror is basically the story of Snow White with a twist. This seems to be the trend right now in Hollywood, turning well-loved fairytales into comedy dramas with well-known actors and an extension/diversion from the original story. Examples of this include Tangled, Enchanted, and EverAfter, all movies I thoroughly enjoyed.

What made Mirror Mirror so great begins with the casting.  (more…)
