Comme Cendrillon: Trouver chaussure à son pied

The past few movies in this franchise have had good acting, story lines, (and music in the last two). This story follows none of what made the other Cinderella movies like able. As much as I want to love Sofia Carson I can't do it because of this movie. Her character is supposed to exude emotions other than smiling and she doesn't deliver as well as her predecessors have. From the moment it begins, the movie's story doesn't go in a cohesive order that allows for a fluid telling. The upside though, is that the step sisters make up for the lack of solid story line with their laughable antics. I was saddened to go into this movie with high hopes and be given something that makes the franchise fall apart. I will watch the past three movies with a newfound love for Disney stars that were able to truly act. I hope the next ones work out better than this.

I loved the fact that Tessa/Bella was a woman mechanic and a pretty one too! I wish I had gotten some 'grease' education as well because then I might be able to troubleshoot and fix lots of my family's deadbeat cars. Maybe it's not too late to learn, but then I wonder how my nails would ever survive their femininity. I did help change the breaks on my very first car, but that was years ago and I doubt I could do it again all by myself. A woman can imagine though! So, back to the movie, I thought it was good. I would watch it again because the ending was a bit distracted when my family came home. It's a plain, cute, family film with not a lot of depth to it. I thought it was a Disney made-for-TV movie, but I looked and it was Warner Brothers and I watched it on the Freeform channel. I'd rather watch this than a low-budget B-rated movie that just makes no sense why it was put on film. At least it's a fantasy. Solid 6 star rating from me!

Just as you have guessed there is yet another direct movie based on I'm a sucker for any well done Cinderella flick. Okay, my first shock was an unrecognizable Jennifer Tilly. Once I accepted the fact that she is comfortable, at age 58 or so, with her current persona I was fine with it. After all, she's playing a wicket step mother, right? The step sisters were a hoot. The fact that we have a Cinderella play within the Cinderella movie was also a nice twist. Sofia Carson playing step daughter Tessa did a fine job, especially when singing. Fun cast, madcap finale and some really awesome musical numbers plus pretty good dancing made this a Cinderella fun feast. The make-up artist friend to Bella was also right on the mark. Musical, madcap Cinderella and crew did well. Oh, Prince charming, a current teen heart throb in the play within the play also did a fine job. Fun all around.

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.

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.
