"Mirror Mirror"

Visual master, director Tarsem Singh ("Immortals") is back. True to form, the retooled fairy tale is fantastic to look at.  From the vast view of the castle perched atop a precipice protruding out into a lake to the outrageously ornate regal dresses. The script is sometimes too campy for its own good, but Julia Roberts has the best lines and costumes and looks like she's having a ball. Compared to the other rendition of Snow White, "Snow White and the Huntsman," "Mirror Mirror" is targeted towards kids, but it's also something that adults would enjoy. "Mirror Mirror" is lighthearted, whimsical and wickedly hilarious.
