Cinderella Story: Ein Weihnachtswunsch

If you love hallmark Christmas movies (or if it's your guilty pleasure) you've come to the right place. But oh my lord, the auto tune!!!!! Abusive

This is another addition to the Cinderella fad that keeps spinning endlessly. Sometimes it's worse than others. This movie felt like it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. And I didn't from the beginning to the credits rolling.

It's a Christmas addition that I'm not sure worked given when the movie premiered on Netflix. But the leads are hilarious as they try to navigate the script and dialogue. A bit off kilter considering it's predecessors. But it is a comedy of sorts. It's definitely up there with a guilty pleasures viewing that you don't want to admit you like. Watch for a good laugh.

This movie is pleasantly enjoyable, fun Christmas fluff, until they start a song. The autotune goes so far that it makes me wonder if a toddler got their hands on the equipment without anyone noticing until it hit the screen. It's a shame, too, because Laura Marano can definitely sing. It only ever got worse when they tried to pretend the characters were ACTUALLY singing. She's not an absolutely fantastic lip-syncer to start with, let alone when they're playing music that comes nowhere near something an actual human sounds like. Worth watching while making Christmas cookies though.

It supposed to be a musical film, but every song (I mean it), EVERY song has autotune that make your ears bleed. My advice - don't waste your time.

I have to be honest here, I love romantic comedies, I love musicals and I love fairy-tales. It's my guilty pleasure of choice. That being said, this movie was really bad: it's watchable but I laughed at parts that weren't supposed to be funny and cringed at a lot of interactions between the protagonists. I understand I may not be the intended audience, it felt like it was aimed at preadolescents who know and love the actress from her Disney show and could overlook the auto-tune.

I, on the other hand, still remember the masterpiece it was the original Cinderella retelling, with Hillary Duff and Chad Michael Murray. All the movies that followed were progressively worse.
