This movie looks haphazardly thrown together, almost as though they tried to mash three different films shot in three different ways together (which they probably did with all the reshoots). Not only does Zegler make her character insufferable to watch (as she did in the most recent hunger games movie, don't even get me started on thay abominable accent she used) the dwarves are terribly ugly and unnerving to watch. Making them CGI also took away work opportunities from 7 individuals. The plot and premise was not terrible itself. The execution and character selections were. So now we have another live action of Disney classic to add to the flaming, sinking ship that is the Disney company. Opening day brought in a paltry $43-48 mil, nowhere close to breaking even with its $209 mil budget. While it did get closer to breaking even with a $100 mil for the entire weekend it remains to be seen if this movie will actually break even or take a loss. A word of advice for Disney, toss this one in the vault and never let it back out.

Lead character is pretty annoying. Tried way to hard on that accent and was abysmal at singing. This was before I learned who the actress was, I had no idea until I looked up the cast. Might have been better with a different person in the role. Would have also been much better if the movie wasn't trying so hard to be some weird musical. I want my 2 1/2hrs of my life back. Would give zero stars if I could.

I adore this movie. Wonderful cast, Brittany Murphy (rip 😔) and Sir Ian McKellen (he is spectacular in any film he is in) are perfect for their character rolls. As we're Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange (love her!), William Hurt, Vera Farmiga, Allen Cumming, and Cynthia Stevenson. The story is bittersweet and enchanting. Even if it is considered an obscure film, it is in one of my top favorite movies.
