Mirror Mirror

Julia Roberts stole the show.  Hands down.  There was some really fun humor, a unique take on the seven dwarves, and it was refreshing the way live action and CGI elements (especially in the landscape) were blended together.  One interesting facet is that it almost seems as though the film was directed for the theater - the way it was shot and the characters placed on screen many scenes had minimal editing and appeared as though staged for an audience.  But it was too "sweet", and the Prince was absolutely dreadful.  And honestly, I also expected more from Nathan Lane's performance.  However, if you can get through the cheesy dumb stuff I do think it is worthwhile to see just for Julia.
