Some great physical acting from Gary Oldman and an excellent cast of dwarves cannot lift this formulaic inversion of the "Snow White" story. What is clearly a PC motivated movie also suffers from risible plotting, horrificly inappropriate dialogue about dwarves circle jerking, and offensive racism against Palestinians and Blacks who are portrayed respectively as dwarf-beating brutes or men who cannot control their animal urges. The overall effect of this hotpotch of worthy motives, dreadful writing, and journeyman directing is that the viewer feels like they are watching a train wreck in slow motion. In fact this movie is so bad it's destined to become a cult classic as one of the worst movies of all time. And before you think it I don't have "a problem with little people" and I "don't need a shrink"!
score 1/10
