A Cinderella Story: Starstruck

This was lively and cute for the little kids.

Cringe worthy for the parents to have to sit through.

My wife and I enjoyed this at home on DVD from our public library. It is a new take on the traditional Cinderella story. Here a pretty and talented young girl is the stepdaughter. Her stepmom and stepsister are both wicked and especially stupid. The other sibling is a very smart but devious stepbrother. They all live on the farm with chickens, pigs, horses, and a milk cow.

The film crew comes to their small community and conducts tryouts for the locals. The movie gets made, the stepmom and her two kids get their just due.

The featured young couple are very cute and entertaining. There are a few cringe-worthy scenes and the movie will be forgotten tomorrow as the sun rises, but it is suitable as light entertainment. It is not a musical but there are a few production numbers included.

A cute movie, honestly! Cringey at some points, but really easy to watch & light-hearted!

I always like this kind of movie especially the franchise. It is great for Kids,Teens, and Adults. The story retells Cinderella in a country setting which is a unique idea and the characters are obviously similar from the other movies but likely. Also the acting is high quality. So there should be a moment where everyone enjoys in the movie like soundtrack, visuals, jokes, or morals/lessons.

All those convincing actors did their best. I loved Finley, so sweet and kind and carefree but lacked some depth to her role when came to sadness expressing. The movie would come out far better with stronger plot, the story was so loose sorrowfully.
