Walt Disney Studios’s new «Snow White» film is having a tough opening weekend.
Not only is the film projected to have the lowest opening weekend among the studio’s live-action remakes so far, the movie is getting bombarded with bad reviews.
«The movie does earn points as a bedtime story, however, because it will definitely put you to sleep», Rolling Stone critic David Fear quipped in his review.
The film, a retread of the original 1937 animated classic, currently has a «rotten» 44% critics score from movie review aggregator site RottenTomatoes.com. Though audiences appear to have a more favorable view of the movie — the audience score sits at 74% — mainstream film critics have savaged the movie.
The New York Times’ chief film critic Manohla Dargis summed up her impressions of the film, saying it’s «neither good enough to admire nor bad enough to joyfully skewer; its mediocrity is among its biggest bummers.»
Kyle Smith at The Wall Street Journal wrote, «Gloss prevails over heart in nearly every scene, and plot beats feel contrived», and ’s Odie Henderson lamented, «I had high hopes that ‘Snow White’ would make me happy.
