This was a creative, although, dissapointing attempt to throw new life into a classic fairy tale. Julia Roberts is funny as the evil queen, who also acts as the narrator, trying to tell the story from her point of view -- another piece that doesn't quite work.
It is altogether somewhat of a flop that was not unique enough to be new nor traditional enough to be nostalgic. Not to mention that there is a horrific "Bollywood" type ending that comes out of no where.
It tries to be family friendly but does have a lot of oddly placed sexual innuendos, but kids may find it funny enough to like it.
* 1/2 -- Perhaps rentable
Rated PG (for violence and rude humor)
