Summary: HORRIBLE
Review: I am HUGE fan of Fairy Tales and always love seeing different adaptations of different Grimm's Tales, but this movie was so ridiculous and boring that it put me to sleep. It's very rare that I watch a movie and want my money back, but I want my 15 dollars back!! Don't waste your money on this "film." Don't even waste the energy watching it if it comes on cable, it's horrible! If you want to see GOOD adaptation, get Snow White: A Tale of Terror starring Sigourney Weaver. I had to give this movie 1 star or the review wouldn't go through, but I really give it ZERO stars. I'll be taking it to a white elephant party this Christmas...on second thought I won't even do that, no one should be put through the torture of watching this movie. Go with the Sigourney Weaver version!

Summary: Please don't diss, this movie ain't a miss
Review: Sorry for the corny rhyming, but it's true. I was shocked that anyone could possibly not like this movie. Personally, I LOVE the story of Snow White, but I've always hated the animated Disney version. THIS version, however, does the REAL story justice. And the characters are all way more complex than many reviewers gave them credit for. The queen isn't really evil evil you know; all she wanted was to be beautiful and accepted. She wanted friends. I'm not saying she wasn't a bad person, but she did have more to her than just pure evil. Same goes for Snow White. She shows a LOT of emotion for someone who grew up virtually alone. And you DO see her warm up some as the dwarves become her family and she learns to socialize with others properly. And the whole dwarves and flying mirrors thing? Have a little imagination- it's called artistic license. It isn't any more unbelievable than having a young woman "magically" tranform herself into an old one in order to kill her step-daughter.
So please, give this movie a chance. It's way worth it.

Summary: The worst
Review: Simply awful rehashing of Snow White that fails to deliver on all levels. Do not believe the lies: Hallmark's SNOW WHITE - THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL does NOT at all veer toward the dark side of the story. Not one bit. I was sneakily fooled early on by promotional material, viewer reviews - and trusted reviews - surrounding this film, which was my motivation for posting here. Now, let me say there is nothing at all wrong with making a childish and simple film for children or simple people, but why lie about it? Perhaps the intentions of the director were undermined and the production somehow turned into this sugary mess (not likely). If, however, the intent was to make a film for children, then market it as a film for children! So be warned: if you were expecting something reasonably slick and adult, in the stratum of, say, SNOW WHITE - A TALE OF TERROR (Sigourney Weaver), you will NOT find that here. If you were expecting something like, say, Disney's perennial favorite SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARVES, you may, unless you're one of those irritating Disney nazis to whom no other version can compare, find some enjoyment.
Now, to compile all the faults in this shallow, forgettable drivel would exceed the maximum word limit. I will be select and, unlike so many others, honest. Our queen (Miranda Richardson, in a terribly distracting red wig) embarrassingly overacts to the point of a sort of visual suffocation, while Snow White possesses the passion of a mannequin. The male support are apparently irrelevant, dwarves aside (I think there was a king in there somewhere, and a prince). We have a very tall dwarf dressed head-to-toe in yellow (is he wearing a raincoat?), emitting a somewhat perverse vibe. Oh, and our technicolor-clothed dwarves can summon a rainbow (yes, that's right! Still think this is dark?), and beam themselves around the countryside. We have a young bear trotting about for reasons that escape my memory - no, wait, that used to be the prince! We have a flying mirror resembling something from a Barbie play set. You might find better costumes and sets in a traveling pantomime. The landscape appears to be Canadian without any effort to disguise. As with the sets and costumes, cinematography and music are distinctly without magic. I can only sigh at so much unfulfilled potential. LESSON: Even a fairytale requires depth and a modicum of plausibility.
You have been warned. I cannot tell you how terrible I found this film without resorting to profanity, which of course is not allowed here. Stay away, sensible viewers. Stay away.

Summary: A Moderate Version, Certainly NOT The Fairest Though...
Review: This film is, in a word a.... mishmash. The plot does not exactly follow the story as told by the brothers grimm, nor does it seem to have any one direction or moral. There are so many touches in this film that just don't even represent what the story is about. It is not a true enough interpretation to even please little kids, besides the fact that the scenery is beautiful and the music is alright too. Kristin Kreuk could have been a beautiful Snow White but she is very, very stiff. One might think that she already took a bite of the poisoned apple (or wished she would have) in the first few moments that we see her onscreen. Kreuk plays a very depressed Snow White indeed!
Miranda Richardson delivers a fair performance as, not exactly a queen but more like an ugly enchantress transformed by her brother(This character doesn't really seem to have a place in the story, a very odd choice)who is given the throne. I feel that there are some decent parts in this movie. But nothing screams Snow White. Like I said, the scenery is beautiful but this is not a movie for everyone. You'll either be confused or fall asleep if you are not a big fan of fairy tales or have some knowledge of other tales. It seems as though there were parts from other grimm stories such as The Bear Prince and Snow White and Rose Red incorporated in the plot of this movie but they really do nothing for the story and were a poor choice. Overall, this is not the definitive version and could have been so much more. Watch it if you must, but there are alot better film versions of the wonderful story out there.

Summary: I love Kristin Kreuk
Review: "Horrible" doesn't even begin to describe this rendition of "Snow White". There was so much wrong with this version of the fairy tale I don't even know where to begin, so instead I'll just focus on the Number One reason you should save your money: Kristen Kruek.Awful. Dull. Lifeless. Talentless. Kristen Kruek. She brings her lack of acting ability and lack of enthusiasm for her trade over from Smallville to inflict it upon this movie. I really don't care how pretty she is...she was, from a talent perspective, the absolute WRONG choice for this, or any, role. Avoid this movie at all costs.
