Cinderella Story 4: Wenn der Schuh passt...

There's something so eternal about Cinderella that it never loses its appeal no matter how many Gazillion versions of the story are made. Even if you just count all the ones that come from the Magic Kingdom.

Sofia Carson the latest of a long line of fresh girl pop singers from the Disney Studios is a sweet and charming Cinderella, in her case a girl named Tessa. She may not have a fairy godmother here, but she knows an opportunity when she sees it. Now if she can only avoid that evil stepmother who of course favors her own children.

The opportunity to be in a music video with British pop star Thomas Law as a modern day motorcycle riding Prince Charming. Better than a white charger. He's quite the hunk himself and might be destined for Disney bubblegum stardom.

Stepmother is Jennifer Tilly who literally smothers the screen with her off the wall performance with the name of Divine. I think if the late drag performer Divine from Lust In The Dust would probably chuckle a bit.

And I'm sure there are still more variations of the story of the girl from the cinders coming. At least from the Magic Kingdom. This one will most definitely do.

Just like the headline says she was the worst part of the movie. She was so freaking annoying and overdramatic. She cannot act to save her life. Sofia Carson did a wonderful job as usual. I just love her singing voice and she's so pretty. This is a different take on a Cinderella story and I thoroughly enjoyed it besides Jennifer, as the evil stepmother. They should've casted someone else.

I took off a few stars just for her other than that great movie.

The other actors did a good job as well. I like the male lead. He did good too.

I watched this movie twice already. It is a good watch. If you can get past Jennifer's acting then you'll be fine.

Half of the movie is great: the singing, dancing, Georgie and the 2 leads.

The other half is... Yes, they had to be evil but this is just too much.

Like somebody said: fastforward the parts with the stepmother and sisters and enjoy half the movie.

Too bad.

A Cindrella Story: If the Shoe Fits isn't a great movie, but it isn't a horrible one either. The plot recycles a lot of material we've already seen. However, it's not unexpected in this type of movie. If you like the other films in the series, you'll probably enjoy this one as well. The actors did an okay job given the material. Overall, this film was cheesy and cute, just like previous installments.

I'm a sucker for ALL Cinderella adaptations. The Hillary Duff, Selena Gomez, and Lucy Hale versions are adorable, but all have step families that are so over dramatic. Well, If The Shoe Fits is actually WORSE than the others! Jennifer Tilley plays the stepmom and she honestly made me want to stop watching! From seeing this performance, she'd be better off doing comedic burlesque routines instead. Luckily, Tessa, aka Cinderella, and her prince, Reed, were so great in their roles that I kept going. I like how Reed falls for who Tessa really is and not the stage version. Watch the movie and you'll see what I mean. I also enjoyed the music, even though there was quite a bit of auto tune. The girl who plays Tessa sounds a little like Demi Lovato when she sings. Her voice isn't quite as raspy and she hits higher notes though. I tend to compare all Cinderella stories to Drew Barrymore's Ever After. So far, none have come close to being as good. But as a fluffy adaptation, If the Shoe Fits is worth a watch, solely for Tessa and Reed. Just turn down the volume when the step family is on the screen.
