Overall I liked the movie. Some of the writing had me a little irritated. There were times when the immediate direction of the sub-story-lines was painfully obvious and the show felt more like an RPG computer game than a movie. I was also bugged by the way various parties kept running into each other at just the right or wrong times. There were a couple of times when I had to turn the movie off because I got so annoyed with that sort of thing, but then about two hours before the end (on a commercial-free time scale) they threw a curve ball that completely caught me off guard. After that, things started getting really interesting. I loved the way the movie pokes fun at itself, and in a way its own entire genre, in the scene with the talking frog. The two most memorable performances for me were Scott Cohen (although his character did annoy me at times with his intensity) and Dianne Wiest. I think that while Cohen stole the show, Wiest gave the best performance. Contrast the Evil Queen with her character in Edward Scissorhands, and you see an actress with a wide stinkin' range. Not one of my favorite films, but I'm glad I saw it. 7/10
