With a miscast lead, this Disney ripoff by Axel Braun for Wicked Pictures was in trouble from the outset, but is not as poor as his more recent Marvel and DC Comics imitations. But that's a moot point, as economics has doomed this sort of former cash cow for the talent-impaired pornographer.
Exploiting a quirk in the law regarding plagiarism (which permits parody and satire as not constituting intellectual property theft), these productions require an ample budget, schedule and production values to get off the ground, but unlike a decade or so ago when the pair of "Pirates" films were bona fide hits the market for large-scale porn or even DVDs of any sort has dried up, making these exercises foolhardy and an easy way to lose money.
Samantha Saint is the star, the former Wicked contract girl unable to act a lick though looking mahvelous! in the title role. As her wicked stepmother Veronica Avluv truly deserved the industry award she got (even AVN sometimes gets it right, though note its fake nominations for other cast members are clearly suspect), chewing up the scenery and very well-suited to join the pantheon of Disney villainesses, and one that even squirts!
The rest of the film is dull and mundane, with Braun cutting corners so obviously as to be laughable. Sure, an SNL sketch can look cheap and get away with it, but here we get the Prince's Ball staged without any extras (only an uncredited Kiki D'Aire as the queen, making faces of distaste at the action in front of her) and the most minor of dancing by Saint and Seth Gamble as the prince. Minor special effects are trotted out for the Fairy Godmother scene, featuring Julia Ann slumming it and contributing trendy but pointless mixed combo action with Tyler Knight, but most of the fairy tale's concepts are contradicted or abandoned.
For example, the magical glass slippers survive while Julia Ann's other creations like the coach do not, and her ticket to success is not trying on a slipper but rather presenting one she took home with her. Her stepsisters are more indebted to "Heathers" or Tina Fey's "Mean Girls" than Disney and give Penny Pax and Carter Cruise an opportunity for lesbo action or a blow job with WIll Powers. Powers' extremely poor line readings are the worst element of all.
