Comme Cendrillon: Trouver chaussure à son pied

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.

This is mostly a star vehicle for the two young lead performers, particularly the female lead. They are quite good musical performers and that is the only thing worth watching in this low budget musical. The boilerplate around them is cartoonish or worse. Just skip it.

Finger on the fast forward. Enjoy the music and dancing.

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.

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.

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.
