Tre noci per Cenerentola

No pun intended - and quite obvious from the beginning. Yes we do get the classical story (which I assume you are aware of, but will not go into details just in case), but our main character (heroine) is not sitting idly when we first meet her. She also is not doing chores. No she tries to get back to where she is supposed to be, without being noticed (caught).

So yes, this version is a bit of an update. Do not think that this is "woke" though - it is always nice to have some extra spins on things. To get a bit of difference to other versions that exist. Acting wise this is fine - for what it is of course. Keep that in mind and be the judge if the movie is something you want to watch anyway.

Unfortunately this movie adds nothing to the original except a few forced modern additions like a kiss between two men and an black and white moral which turns out to not really be that modern or feminist after all. Imagine managing to make the 2021 female character less feminist than the original while trying to do the opposite? Little to no character development, bland soundtrack and costumes, the humor from the original is nowhere to be found.

The movie is despite this overall probably an enjoyable movie for kids.

What a mess, the prince' best buddies kissing, Cinderella and prince not kissing. Prince adopted or mommy Queen had an affair..? Prince looks nothing like his parents and I find it hard to believe they raised such a moron. Cinderella and prince seemed to have nothing in common except horse racing. Nice horses and nice scenery, and the cruel stepmother (Ellen D. P) did a good job.

I was a bit disappointed when I saw this in relation to the original from 1973. I do not think it was wise to have actors who were so different from the original. The humor was not quite there either. Maybe it would have been best if the country of origin had made this remake in English language?

There is in a way so much that is missing, that I do not think this will be a Christmas classic: p Sad since this could have been so much more: p.

Norwegian fantasy movie '' Three Wishes for Cinderella '' is a Scandinavian take on the Czech film of the same title.

The movie pretty much has the same story as the classic fairy tale, with the girl being raised by the strict evil stepmother and going to the ball only to leave without her glass shoe etc etc. The movie's originality comes from the three wishes that Cinderella gets and aid her in her romance with the prince.

In addition, the scenery was spectacular, and the costumes and makeup up all well down, as well as the settings. Also, for a family movie, the film was enjoyable and entertaining.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
