Cinderella

You have to be in the mood for this movie. (maybe a brewski and no dress if in Ohio). If you know what to expect, you will like this.

This movie is a living adult comic book, and as such all of the actors except Cheryl Smith (Cinderella), play their roles predictably and very campy. They got it...don't take this seriously and overact. Pretend you are in a High School play. Cy Richardson reprises his role from "Faery Tales", and fits in just fine here. The film I viewed was from cable many years ago, and it shows obvious choppy editing which removed, I presume, some X stuff. Probably these cuts improved the film (such as was claimed by the reviewers of "Alice in Wonderland). The direction is right on target for a sophomoric film. The Chamberlain dismounts his horse and falls screaming down an unseen cliff. He bumps his head while seriously speaking in a farmer's hut. He has an episode with a knife and his finger, ala three stooges minus two (see also Jerry Lewis). This fits if you are really in the mood for this type of film. Doooooooooooooo, Dooooooooooooooo, Dooooooooooooo enjoy.

Cheryl Smith stands out in this film because she acts her part seriously and seems to miss the juvenile theme of this movie. Her acting makes this movie work. Intentional or not, her acting evokes the demanded sympathy toward her character. She is really outstanding here, either by design or because she really thought this was a serious film. Without her it would be junk. Good mindless fun to watch. I liked it.

I must admit I didn't expect to see the classic in this light when one of my girlfriend's brought this home from the rental office. At first, I thought it was a little crude, but as the movie went on and I started to get into enjoying for what it was - an entertaining (and somewhat risque) movie - I realized that it was actually quite a good and interesting movie. Imagine a Cinderella who was tested not by the ability to fit into a show, but the ability to bring the prince to sexual heights with an amazing female sexual organ. I pity (or is that envy?) the prince though, having to have sex with almost all the girls in the entire kingdom before being able to find his Cinderella!

I remember renting this in high school because the cover seemed to portray a porn film, yet this wasn't in the "big wooden cabinet." It attempts to be a soft-core pornographic comedy, which I guess it succeeds at without ever really delivering on the "pornographic" or the "comedy" part. Strangely enough, I've talked to many other people and if this film is mentioned, they've all seen it. Why? I don't know. Two memorable parts are the black man playing a fairy godmother (?) and the king announcing "The Kingdom has a Snapper!" (You'll have to figure that one out yourself.)

I remember this when I was in High School and I lived in the Philadelphia area, we had a channel there called "Prism" and Friday and Saturday nights they use to show Unrated movies like this and when your 13 yrs old and seeing boobs it's the greatest thing ever. Yes the movie is cheesy but that's the fun of it, everything can't be "The Deer Hunter" I haven't seen this in probably 38 years and I'll probably laugh at it for being bad but movies like this made staying up on Friday and Saturday so much fun as a kid.

I saw this movie, uncut, in a x rated movie house in Little Rock Arkansas in the 1970's. I've seen it since, on some of the premium channels, on cable, in the r rated vcr format. You lose the "in and out" portions of the film, but it makes it a funnier movie. And everyone has seen this film and remembers it by the line, "It's a snapper!"
