A Cinderella Story: Se la Scarpetta Calza

This is kind of different from the other installtments of Cinderella Story.

The evil stepmother is exhilarating, not as "evil" as the other films, I really laughed at most of her exaggerations, those were really funny and comedic, in their own silly way.

Sofia Carson, on the other hand, does a great job, as usual, we all know her.

She's got a great attitude and delivers some real feelings with her particular voice and her gorgeus dance moves and backstory.

Also, the chemistry with her and the loved one is palpable and sincere, which is never forgone, in minor romantic comedy music flicks.

You have to take movies like these as they are and enjoy them for WHAT they are, even if not a masterpiece. So, it's not a 10 out of 10 but it's nice and light, nevertheless. I give it a 6.

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.

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 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.

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.
