Elle: A Modern Cinderella Tale

I'm sorry but for me, this movie was just plain horrible. I was half expecting another one of those cute Cinderella flicks. But I was in for a surprise. The acting was not even close to mediocre.. it was bland, forced, weak and the characters seem so fake. The lead actress just sucked; I don't know, but her whole character seemed to me as if she was a failed Taylor Swift clone. Some of the actors weren't as bad as the lead but others had it even worse. Anyways, the movie was dull, predictable and cheesy. The script was also horrible and cringe-worthy. And if it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have sat through even half of the movie. I'm sorry if I seem a tad bit harsh on my wordings but it irks me that the movie could've been a whole lot better if they just put more effort into it. Elle: A Modern Cinderella Tale had potential to be an "okay" movie but it was just very disappointing.

This story has been overdone to death, but what's worse, this version did it BADLY. Sure, it did switch up some things here and there, but, BADLY. It had horrible acting, awkward screenplay (Even the camera angles were awkward), an absolutely cringe-worthy script, and weak, flat characters. Okay, not all the actors were as bad as the lead, 'Cinderella'. Some were minimally better; then again, some were worse. It was the dullest, most eye-roll-inducing, face-palm worthy, predictable, cheesy, stereotypical movie ever. It wasn't even funny-bad, it was just stupid-bad. Side note: I'm not sure if the British accents that some of these American 'actors' put on are meant to sound fake, but fake they sound; and extremely so.

If I seem overly harsh in my choice of words to describe this movie, I'm sorry. It's coming from a frustration at myself for watching the entire ridiculous thing all the way through. Huge waste of time, that. -_-

Based on the Cinderella tale adapted to the modern time is a family movie, and (little) girls will probably like it.

The story itself is a little bit predictable but that's OK with this kind of movie. Elle (Ashlee Hewitt) is a girl who wants to be a singer and lives with her uncle, the owner of a small independent record label, after her parents died.

The songs in the movie are not bad and Elle sings pretty well. Ashlee Hewitt's scenes seem awkward at times, but she does her best to keep it under control.

Technically, the film looks average.

Anyway, if you are a fan of teen movies and music, and Cinderella kind of stories, you should definitely see Elle, a modern Cinderella.

My kids trolled netflix for something to watch and they finally picked this one. They liked the idea of a singing teen in a Cinderella story.

It was the first movie EVER that they turned off after about 30 minutes. Even the 10 year old said "mom, these girls aren't very good actresses," and "there is NO way that girl is a teenager!"

The script was stilted, it's slower than snail snot and the acting gave me a headache. We all thought that the lead was a good singer when she sang a country song through the opening credits, but we gave up on the movie completely before her character got to sing in the script.

My three girls and I unanimously think you should skip this one.

Okay Netflix, do you have others worse than this? This movie is such a failure. First of all, I'm up for every movies with the fairy tale theme. But this is "beyond fairy tale".

The actors suck, they could not act! The editing sucks too! A lot of unnecessary scenes. It felt like some people wanna be stars and they were all over the place! Failing amateur movie.

The plot was okay though but seriously, even other Sterling Knight movies are even better than this.

The only good about this movie is only the songs, they're just cool, not awesome, but Thank God at least there's something good.
