User Reviews

"I'm only a girl, not a princess."

Enjoyable retelling of the fairy tale I'm sure we're all familiar with. Doesn't really bring anything new to the table, I admit. It doesn't surpass the magic of the animated classic for telling the traditional story and it doesn't surpass Ever After for a live-action updating. But it is well-directed, visually attractive, and enchanting in its way. There's an old-fashioned sweetness about it that I appreciate. The romance is especially nice. Frankly I was happy that this isn't another movie that adapts old stories with modern sensibilities. I'm glad Cinderella wasn't a Buffy clone, kicking butt and making quips along the way. I'm also happy to see the Prince is not a wimpy hipster type nor was he changed into a villain, as I've come to expect from the revisionist fairy tales we get today. So kudos to the filmmakers and Disney for daring to put out something that is unusual (for the times we live in). They proved old-fashioned storytelling is still effective and even profitable.
