Wow. What a waste of costume designing, set design, costume manufacturers, writing, talented actors...I could go on. I really tried to love it.

I know it's supposed to be a different version but it was truly unnecessary. Sad times.

There is some good in this version of Cinderella.

Take it with a pinch of salt and don't take it seriously. It isnt a classic.

Fans of Miss Cabello are going to love this and her acting was OK. She hammed up the role just enough.

There were definitely some miscast roles, but all the actors played this a little tongue in cheek.

This was a live action version of all of the recent animated movies acting as a vehicle for a pop soundtrack.

The writer and the director could have made a much better movie by focussing on some of the other characters like Princess Gwen.

It tries so hard to be politically correct and equal, that it forgets the meaning of the story.

Some of the worst acting I have ever seen in my life, at times I thought I was watching a spoof, this really does need to be seen to be believed.

The people behind this movie wanted to make some sort of statement, that is obvious, but to literally tear up the sweet story of Cinderella, that's just not on, couldn't you have called it something else? What next? I shudder to think.

I wanted to like it, but come on this was just cringe worthy.

A disaster, 2/10.

In summary my wife and I, grandparents, enjoyed this musical movie as light entertainment. It uses a lot of mostly contemporary songs that are actually sung by the cast. Most singing is pretty good, some of it not so much, but it does fine for this type of movie. It is mostly funny, at times absurd, with elaborate production numbers.

The biggest divergence is both the prince and Ella are, in different ways, reluctant to accept the traditional roles. He isn't sure he really wants to follow his father as King, she isn't sure she wants to be a wife of a King, maybe being a dress designer would be more fulfilling.

Right after release on Amazon streaming this movie has received lots of unjustified, very negative reviews. It isn't a bad movie, in fact it is very well made and interesting for any viewer in the right frame of mind. It isn't my type of movie, I'll probably not re-watch it, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. A rating of 5 or 6 is probably just about right.

Literally so many things wrong with this movie it would take an essay.

Cannot rate it lower.
