I bet the Snow White movie becomes an ironic cult classic

Like Showgirls or Cool as Ice

But I'm an aging Gen Xer so I see irony and cult classics everywhere

Sincere question, as I won't be seeing the movie.
What things do you think will drive that & what is the ironic part?

think Xanadu.

The irony of movies like that or the aforementioned Cool as Ice is that they are entertaining but not the way they were meant to be.

Red Dawn (the original with Patrick Swazy) is pure comedy gold.

The Red Dawn example resonates with me. Xanadu was just plain bad, but Red Dawn at least had Patrick Swayze!

It ain't Snow White if she doesn't sing "Someday My Prince Will Come".
