I have seen better (but also worse).
The main problem I see is that there is no real chemistry between between Lily (=Snow White) and the prince. The idea that she is smitten with him looks to me rather ridiculous. Her giving him a solid (and deserved) thrashing (as she does) looks far more believable. And I think Julia Roberts was not the perfect choice for the evil queen. She is near perfect as far as vain and silly goes (one side of the character) but she totally fails in the wicked department (imo). She may be able to come over as uncaring about others but not as the vicious murderess she has to be.

For comparison, Sigourney Weaver managed a fine balance in her (non-comedic) portrayal of the queen in Snowhite - A Tale of Terror (where it is a combination of a curse and Snowhite's  nasty behaviour towards here that drives her over the edge).

In order to bridge the gap befor Zono comes up with something:
I'm sorry, I'm positively swamped with work.  :-[

I would take a stab at it, if no one else has anything?

We're ready on this end.

DISCLAIMERS:
1. Last time I did this, I had a Windows Thingie that let me screencapture from my own DVD, thereby getting much cooler and tougher-to-guess pics.
2. I forgot how much I LOATHE PhotoBucket's upgrade which makes it nigh unto impossible to upload or name things. Sheesh. I may not be able to manage more than one or two per day, but I'm counting on Swato to make this a short game!   ;)
3. Not a movie per se but I think everyone here could have seen it.

Looks familiar, or maybe I'm just recognizing the actors.

I sometimes just Google a film and then lift images off the images pages through snapshot. That way I can crop a little bit, if need be.

Something by Mel Brooks?
Or anything Blackadderish? (so it would be TV not movie)

Give the man a cigar!   :thumbsup:

Now I can delete the other 9 Google images I downloaded last night for cropping and mysteriousizing.

OK, here is a new riddle.
Today seen as a masterpiece it was originally a success neither with the public nor the critics.
