    Thank goodness for fast forward

    Bizarre take on the Cinderella tale. Terribly poor script, but Kathleen Turner turns in a pretty decent evil step-mother performance.

    Visually stunning in some parts, but that's about it. The period costumes range from the Elizabethan era to the 1990s. Fast forward until you see something interesting and save yourself the full 90 minutes of drivel.

    If you're really in the mood for a Cinderella story - I suggest "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" or "The Glass Slipper".

    I loved it...

    It is not difficult for a die hard fairy tale enthusiast to get bored with all the different versions of Cinderella. However, i think that this one was all together unique. Kathleen Turner was EXQUISITE as the "Wicked Step Mother" true. But there were other elements to this version that made it equally fabulous. The fact that Cinderella "rescues" her father, and gains a backbone and stands up to her step mother were great. There is also a wonderful element of traditional magic, in the form of Cinderella's "fairy god mother" a mermaid/sea nymph who takes an interest in Cinderella. The low budget, special effects harkened back to Rogers and Hamerstein's version. Simple effects let the story take center stage.

    Possibly the BEST Cinderella EVER!

    I have an admitted soft spot for Cinderella, but always had issue with the complete simpy victim she let herself be. In this case, she's far less so---I very much like how she's FAR more interested in saving her father than her own future happiness.

    I loved the King Lear aspects and found this to be a delightful visual treat

    I Don't Care What You Say...I LIKED IT!

    I thought it was an original story, very nicely told. I think all you people are expecting too much. I mean...it's just a made for television movie! What are you expecting? Some Great wonderful dramtic piece? I thought it was a really great story for a made for television movie....and that's my opinion.

    A quirky and wildly glamorous modernisation of the Cinderella story

    This film moves the Cinderella story forward to the early 1950s and makes good, if eccentric, use of the Isle of Man as a background. The Ugly Sisters have become wildly glamorous upper-class English girls, and together with Kathleen Turner as the stepmother they flounce about in various wonderful period costumes. The story is altered a little from the traditional version: early on it is oddly combined with the plot of "King Lear", and in later stages Cinderella is rather more assertive than is usual. It looks splendid and works on the whole pretty well, but does go over the top at times.
