It’s movie review day here at Glitter, Bliss, and Perfect Chaos. Today we’re seeing the movie, Mirror Mirror.
Here’s the trailer:
For some reason, the Prince always ends up back at the castle shirtless. Not that those of us at the movie theater minded. Even the evil Queen is frustrated by his shirtlessness. Julia Roberts delivers a great line in the movie. Can someone please get him a shirt, so I can concentrate. It was at that point, I knew I was going to love this movie.
The Verdict: This movie was a fairytale, but not your typical, I’m a girl who must be rescued by the strong, brave prince. Once Snow White got out from underneath the thumb of her evil stepmother, she started to grow. To be the strong, independent woman she needed to be. Especially if she was ever going to take over ruling the kingdom for her poor (dead) father. There were seven dwarfs in this movie, but they were not like I expected either. Really, this whole movie was one happy surprise and twist after another. And what other rating can you give a fairytale movie with a dreamy cast, a fun revamped storyline, and of course, an often shirtless prince? Happily Ever After!
Just a reminder of how we rank movies here at Glitter, Bliss, and Perfect Chaos:
One Star = Walk of shame. I was in last night’s dress, carrying my shoes as I rushed off. I can’t believe I wasted my time on him and pray no one I know sees me.
Two Stars = Bad date. He didn’t really do anything wrong, we just didn’t have any chemistry. Maybe he just wasn’t my type. I probably won’t answer if he calls.
Three Stars =Hookup. We had a great night together. Don’t know if it will be more than that, but it was sure fun while it lasted.
Four Stars = Stalking him. What a night! We danced, we kissed. Now if I could just get him to call me.
Five Stars = Happily ever after. I love him! I want to marry him, have his babies, and live happily ever after.

April 22, 2012 at 08:55My husband had the nerve to see this movie without me on a recent business trip! He said it was good, but I think I would have enjoyed it more. After reading your review, perhaps I should just go by myself!

April 17, 2012 at 00:36Watching the previews I figured this movie would be a groan-er. Glad to hear it’s worth viewing. Maybe I’ll take a chance on it after all. 🙂

April 17, 2012 at 16:56Aww. It’s really cute. Kinda Princess Diaries cute. My husband would hate it, but I loved it!

April 16, 2012 at 18:15My bestie and I are supposed to see this movie together. I hope she gets her schedule in order soon! Thanks for the confirmation that it is worth seeing.

April 17, 2012 at 16:57It reminds me a bit of the Princess Diaries. Just sugary sweet. And it was awesome to see a little girl power for once!!

April 16, 2012 at 12:21I haven’t seen this one but I think I’m going to hold off and go see Snow White and The Huntsman instead in the summer. Armie Hammer is lovely!!
Jillian Dodd - Glitter, Bliss and Perfect Chaos says
April 17, 2012 at 16:58I want to see that too. It looks much darker than this movie. This was sweet and romantic. Not much in the way of adventure. Armie often shirtless did keep my attention!

April 16, 2012 at 12:11I thought maybe I’d already seen all the good parts in the trailer and it wasn’t worth going, but your pics alone seem worth a second look:)

April 17, 2012 at 16:59It was sweet. If you have any girls you could go with, they would love it!

I saw this movie last week. It’s an excellent twist on the old tale and it has lots of great humor (like the shirtless bits with the frustrated Julia Roberts!). Obviously (probably because I’m male), I thought Julia stole the movie, she played desperation, frustration, manipulation and downright selfishness to perfection and did it all with a sense of humor. Brilliant.
Cheers!
