With obvious ambitions of becoming a new generation’s The Princess Bride, this outdated material gives us no reason to deviate from Disney’s 1937 classic as the go-to version of Grimm’s fairy tale.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 4, 2022

The film's inability to show restraint in its slapstick visuals and madcap gags causes a predictable repetition of puerility.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 2, 2020

Despite all the problems I had with the film, the simple truth is I never for a single minute regretted being in the audience.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 17, 2020

This is a corny, drab, and lifeless take on a familiar tale, that leaves very little for anyone to take away.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 3, 2020

...not even a delightful Bollywood number that caps off the final wedding scene and ushers in the final credits can keep you from feeling confused and cheated after watching Mirror Mirror.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall. What's the fairest film of all? Mirror Mirror.

| Nov 26, 2019

Julia Roberts as the evil queen has outgrown both the goodness and the blandness, and she seems sincerely, exuberantly relieved.

| Sep 16, 2019

Mirror Mirror is consumed by its narcissism. I can't remember the last time I've seen a movie so obsessed with looking good above and beyond all else.

It's a charming, sweet, albeit flawed little confection, worth seeing if you love inventive production and costume design, but especially if you have a soft spot for the work of director Tarsem Singh.

| Jul 29, 2019

Tarsem brings his usual visual flair to the film, marked by the late, great, Eiko Ishioka's fabulous costumes. But beyond its considerable production values, there isn't really much going on.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 8, 2019

Boasting a strong cast, that includes Julia Roberts, and some intriguing twists on the popular fairy tale Mirror Mirror falls flat. It all feels second right despite everyone's best effort.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 12, 2019

Does it fail? Yes. But what's impressive is how spectacularly it manages to do so... and how badly you might find yourself wanting to enjoy it in spite of all that.

| Jan 14, 2019

A gloriously well made family friendly adventure with an abundance of charm.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2019

And so Mirror Mirror tells a slightly didactic narrative about a strong and capable young woman -- who still cooks and cleans for dwarves, though, in between learning the art of war from them.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 4, 2019

Armie Hammer (The Social Network, J. Edgar) is proving to be quite the leading man, and Julia Roberts seems to really enjoy being the bad guy for once. All in all, the film is a visually beautiful, if superficial, story.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 9, 2018

Sometimes, all you need is something light and airy to really hit your sweet spot, and this film delivers that in a bright red brocaded ball gown.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 4, 2018

An intermittently enjoyable trifle that could have been something more if it had resisted the self-conscious urge to look at its own reflection.

| Aug 30, 2018

Nathan Lane is a show stealer... Collins is undeniably and appropriately sweet, and Hammer is charmingly funny as he is constantly in search for a shirt.

| Aug 24, 2018

... PLEASE, believe me when I say that Mirror Mirror is not worth your time and certainly not your money.

| Oct 23, 2017

Mirror, Mirror won't change your life, but it's a fun homage to a timeless classic that lets you escape into a fairy tale world, that actually doesn't seem to far away from here.

| Original Score: B | Sep 8, 2017
