Another Cinderella Story

6/10

Delightfully Silly and Enjoyable

In Beverly Hills, the teenager Mary (Selena Gomez) is the stepdaughter, actually the maid, of the egocentric and decadent pop star Dominique Blatt (Jane Lynch) and is frequently humiliated by her two sisters Bree (Katharine Isabelle) and Britt (Emily Perkins). Mary's mother was a dancer of Dominique and when she died, Mary stayed with Dominique. When the pop-star Joey Parker (Andrew Seeley) returns to Los Angeles to select a pair for his next video-clip in a dance competition, he becomes the sensation and all the girls in town expect to win. However, Mary sneaks to a masquerade party with her best friend Tami (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and Joey dances a tango with Mary, who is wearing mask and he does not recognize her, and he has a crush on her. Near midnight, Mary leaves the party in a hurry, but she drops her mp3 player on the floor. Without any other clue of her partner in the dance, Joey Parker uses the device to seek out the girl. But Dominique, Bree and Mary will do anything to keep Mary apart from her prince charming.

"Another Cinderella Story" is silly, predictable and there is a great gap of age between Selena Gomez and Andrew Seeley. However the update of the Cinderella fairytale is also delightful, with enjoyable dances and choreographies and the chemistry between Selena Gomez and Andrew Seeley is amazing. Selena Gomez really impresses with her beauty and charm and it is a pleasure to see her dancing. The "sisters" Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins perform a totally different role from the cult "Ginger Snaps" franchise. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Outro Conto da Nova Cinderela" ("Another Tale of the New Cinderella")

Not As Bas As It Looks...

I seriously expected this movie to be worse than it was... The acting was great and so was the dancing... Some people are criticizing this film because of the age gap between Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley but the two of them played their parts well... The main thing is that they managed to get into their roles and were amazing... Some may find it a little fake or something but i seriously enjoyed it... Of course, that's just me... Different people have different opinions... Ovreall, i'd give it a 7/10... Like i said before, Selena Gomez had acted well in this movie just like how she's been acting well in WOWP... Drew Seeley was amazing and there was chemistry between the two characters that made this movie enjoyable to watch...

Good overall.

Although completely cheesy and predictable, this is actually a decent movie. It's funny, and Selena Gomez is absolutely amazing. She is such a talented actress and watching the movie is worth it just to see her steal all the scenes she is in. Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins are great as the awkward step-sisters. They do a great job at portraying a very strange take on the evil step-sister role. I definitely prefer this version to the one with Hilary Duff. Selena is a much better actress, and comes across as being a more real, and relatable character. She really seems like a girl that you would know and not like someone acting as the outcast. Her comedic timing is wonderful. Another Cinderella Story is an amusing, entertaining movie.

good Selena Gomez vehicle in yet another Cinderella story

It's a Selena Gomez vehicle trying to pump up the young budding star. She's fine with a certain amount of charm that gives the movie a chance. Like the title says, it's another Cinderella story. There's nothing special in the story here. Certainly, there's nothing here that's different from dozens of other Cinderella teen films. While Cinderella is played admirably, the prince Charming role is a stiff wooden block. Drew Seeley doesn't have the charisma. He definitely can't match the importance of the role. Jane Lynch is the evil guardian and an aging pop star. It doesn't fit her. She has the comedic chops but they need to fit the role for her better. She looks nothing like the expected Madonna figure. It makes no sense. The stepsisters are played by the reunited costars from 'Ginger Snaps', Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins. There are some good crazy comedic turns from Jane Lynch and Emily Perkins. And Selena Gomez has that sweet charisma. It makes for a watchable wacky teen comedy but nothing more.

I liked it!

Okay, I was expecting it to be Another Cinderella Story spin off like the first one, and usually when they redo it, it is bad! Not this one, I liked it. Okay, it did have the same story line as the first one, but we are talking about A Cinderella Story here. That is why it is called "Cinderella", and yes she will have a mean stepmother and two silly stepsisters so you can't really change on that. The dancing was great. It was fun, light entertainment and definitely better than I expected. It might not be a show stopper movie and it is made with young teenagers in mind but if you liked the first one as well as movies like the Princess Diaries, etc, give this one a go too.

People aren't giving it the credit it deserves

This movie was better than expected. Everyone says, "OH! It was SO predictable." If it's so predictable, then I expect they knew EXACTLY how soon Joey would know the girl was Mary. They knew EXACTLY how the girls would sabotage Mary after she got close to Joey. They knew EXACTLY how she was gonna sneak to go to the ball. The movie was WAAAYYY better than the first one and I love the fact that this one is based around dancing! So please stop slamming this movie so hard, it's really better than you make it sound. That's all I have to say.

Oh and P.S., it's fun to dance along. HAHA! I memorized the dance moves.

Predictable, bad casting, mediocre acting, unbelievable story

I watched this movie recently with my family and it really wasn't that great, though it wasn't totally awful. Not one I would recommend if you think. with Many convenient plot twists and completely unbelievable scenes the story was likely written by a 9 year old. The cast couldn't have been much worse, either, with a 50 year old pop diva. Jane Lynch plays some great characters, but this wasn't one of them. This take offers nothing new on the all too familiar tale of Cinderella and, in fact, is a very poorly done rendition of that classic tale. On top of that there are some scenes which are simply not believable and pointless, such as the masquerade ball where nobody could tell who anybody was, even though they wore masks over only the tops of their faces. The only two blacks in the entire movie didn't even recognize each other, moronically. Yet for some reason when Selena Gomez entered in a rather poofed out, concealing dress all eyes were on here as if everyone thought she looked beautiful even though her body was completely covered, her outfit was not form fitting and they supposedly could not see enough of her face for even her step sisters to recognize her. This movie is entirely forgettable. Absolutely nothing about it stood out even slightly. It is probably the worst take on Cinderella I have ever seen.

Icky

I can't get past the fact that at filming Selena Gomez was 15 and the love interest in this movie was 25 in real life.

She looks like she is a super young teen in this movie and it just feels really really icky.

great movie for tweens

This movie is a wonderful retelling of the original Disney animated version of Cinderella. We have our Cinderella, Mary who played by the delightful Selena Gomez. Then we have the prince, Joey played by the talented Andrew Seeley. The stepmother Domonique was brilliantly played by Jane Lynch. The rest of this ensemble cast which included the stepsisters (Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins) Tami (Jessica Parker) Dustin (Marcus Paulk) and Natalia (Nicole La Placa) all injected their characters with a bid of an edge. This movie was aimed at the 9-13 age range and hit it's target. Was it predictable, yes but the cast was brilliant and brought an old tale into today's world. The characters were lovable,except the obvious Britt Bree and Natalia, who balanced the fairytale with their nasty attitudes and antics. I loved the dance theme and the dancing was amazing. It won't win an academy award, but that was not it's goal. The goal was entertainment pure and simple.

THE AGE DIFFERENCE?

This movie was okay but the age difference in the movie AND irl... irl she's like 14 or 15 and he's 26. Then in the movie u see her holding up a magazine of him and she's like 12 and he looks the same.. so he's like twice her age in the movie it seems.

OK movie I guess

I managed to catch this movie and expected it to be a typical chick flick and high school drama- well I was right.

Story:

Mary is a high schooler who dreams of becoming a dancer, however she has to make it into the Manhatten dance school to fulfil her dreams. In the meantime she has to work for her stepmom( actually guardian in fact). Joey is a pop-star who came back to finish his studies in high school and to find his roots as well as choose a new dancer for his new music video. Mary is Cinderella and Joey is the prince.

Storywise, its very predictable, you do know what will happen next and of course both will end up happily ever after. I did like how the movie was flowing initially but towards the end, it started to get boring and I was wondering when it will end. I also noticed that dancing seemed to be the main theme of this movie. For that I gave it credit because I do like watching them dance.

Actors and acting:

I don't know about whether anyone noticed the age gap between Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley but I did and no I didn't even look at their ages in the first place. The minute I saw Selena, it struck me on how young she look, like a young teenager wheras Drew came across looking like a college student( I do know he's older then that later). Though they had OK chemistry, I find them really incompatible in terms of looks. Bad choice of actors in this case.

I like Jane lynch who played the stepmother. Proud and arrogant and often bullying Mary, her vulnerable times were comical especially when she told Mary she was unpopular as well.

The other actors, like Mary's rival in love, stepsisters and friends were just OK in acting. I see nothing special.

Here's "Something You Don't Know"...This Is A Charming Film

For the most part, I consider the Disney Channel (and all its programming and outlets) to be a bit too "in your face" and loud in terms of shows, acting, promotions, and pretty much everything else. When one of "their own" become stars, they are (at least for a short time) what the world is talking about. Yet, every once in awhile, there are shows (e.g. Drake and Josh, Wizards of Waverly Place) and actors (e.g. Josh Peck, Selena Gomez) that I can legitimately enjoy with my younger siblings. "Another Cinderella Story" is one of those shows.

Starring Gomez, at what probably will amount to the height of her "Wizards" fame, this film channels the classic children's story "Cinderella" and gives it a culturally relevant twist. When a young girl (Gomez) lucks into an exclusive dance with the school's most handsome boy (Andrew Seeley) but then must rush home to please her overbearing stepmother (anything sound familiar yet?!), an I-Pod (ala slipper) is the only link between their special moment. Thus, the remainder of the film centers on both boy and girl finding each other and building a relationship.

This movie is clearly superior to its Hilary Duff-starring predecessor in the areas of acting, energy, and excitement:

Acting-wise, Gomez can hold her own with anyone, while Seeley, rather surprisingly, almost steals the show with his screen time. Obviously hired to be the "leading hunk", Seeley turns in a genuine performance. The supporting cast is also just stereotypically goofy enough to be considered "true Disney", but also too stereotypical to really offend anyone (in the High School Musical mold).

In terms of energy and excitement, the fact that the film is set to a back-drop of hip-hop dancing automatically gives it a bit of spunk and flash. Both Gomez and Seeley (or their stunt doubles...whatever the case may be) can really rip it up on the dance floor, only adding to the chemistry between them.

Thus, if you have children (or younger siblings) that adore pretty much all Disney fare, fear not...for this is a film that can be enjoyed by you as well! Though not an instant classic by any means, it is a solid little fun film that will have you singing its tunes and dancing to its catchy beats long after you push the "STOP" button.

10 Years

Should be illegal to produce something like this. Gomez is born in 1992, Seeley in 1982. 10 years. 15&26 (or something to that effect). I wouldn't want any person seeing this and thinking it's okay. It's not okay.

The format of the story is working, though not innovative or surprising in any way. Has potential to be fun, you know, dancing, pop star stuff, a first love kind of story. Doesn't work at all if you think about the protagonists. There even is a scene where he sees a video tape of her as a small child praising him in a childish and seemingly 'embarrassing' manner. What's embarrassing is this film and the fact it was made and considered a legitimate attempt to making a teen flick.

Wonderful modern day Cinderella Story

This was a wonderful modern twist on the typical Cinderella story. This story was more about a girl striving to accomplish her dreams with the Cinderella aspect thrown in. Although most people think this is a sequel to A Cinderella Story, it is not. It really is just Another Cinderella Story.

The dances moves or scenes were great and I have to say that I loved the performance of New Classic at the end. It is definitely one of my favorite scenes. It was also refreshing that the main characters (Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley) really had a great chemistry on screen.

Jane Lynch adds the comical relief to the movie. Her character has her serious moments, but most of the time you are let wondering "what" or at least I was left thinking that during some of her lines or comments, because they were just so far out there. I did enjoy the Baby Got Back Commerical though, that was very funny. It still makes me laugh every time. They couldn't have cast anyone better to play the role of the step mother, in a sense she was the step mother.

Hard to watch

Ive been meaning to watch this movie for a while but I was left disappointed.

*The charecters were mostly unbearable. Selena Gomez is by far the best part about this movie. Every character exept Selena Gomez's and Drew Seely's were very cringy and hard to watch. Also Drew Seely looks (and is) way to old to be in high school. I know that's common for movies that take place in high school but still....

*The dancing was far better than what I expected (It still had it's molments though).

*The soundtrack had some good songs. "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" and "Hurry Up And Save Me" are definitely my favorites. Drew Seely's songs were nice too, but they didn't stand out to me.

Not the greatest thing but definitely surpassed my expectations

I admit that an 8/10 might be a little too high for this movie but I thought that, compared to all other movies similar to this, it belonged in the upper level and thus deserved the 8/10. Overall it was a pretty good movie, a modern day Cinderella story. They replaced the Prince with a Celebrity (Drew Seeley), they replaced the servant with a maid (Selena Gomez) and replaced the slipper with an MP3 player.

At first I thought it would be like all other movies similar to this, the entire movie leads up to the buildup where the boy will find out who the girl is and they will fall in love, but this one is different. I thought it was a great idea that they finished that in the first half with him finding his girl and filled the second half with modern day drama. This movie was more than just a Cinderella story, it wasn't just the "prince" finding his "princess" and an endless love, it dealt with insecurity and different social rankings and everything. They had a premise built around dance and stuck with that premise throughout the movie which was another big positive.

Overall i thought it was a very enjoyable movie, compared to all movies it probably would not be higher than 6 because it wasn't anything close to the "best thing ever" but compared to many Disney Movies, I'd rank this as the 2nd best movie right behind High School Musical 1.

It is a good movie, very enjoyable, and very satisfying. The main concern many people have would be the romantic interest between a 26 year old guy and a 16 year old girl, but in the movie they sort of build off the same vibe with an older guy and a younger girl. It is said that they are not the same age in the movie, as she was admiring him and "loving him" when she was only 10. Disney did not ignore the age gap and i think that it just made the film more powerful as it was yet another obstacle that they had to overcome, in addition to everything else.

Well yeah guys, that's life.

OK stop saying guys that this movie was predictable...its starring Selena Gomez, its called Another Cinderella Story...of course its predictable !! I mean, every movie lately that has hilary duff, lindsay lohan or any other Disney star in it IS meant to be predictable. It's all the same mold. And the thing about this one is that...its fully conscious that the movie is like every other movie that has Cinderella in the title. It's predictable and they know it ! I think thats the biggest shame in the whole thing. I mean, yeah they wanted to make Selena known...but why not try something different! not another version of a movie we al saw 1309849 times.

And speaking about the age gab between the 2 main actors. Of course yeah we can see it, of course it annoyed me a little. Because omg...hes 26 :O But overall i think they are great actors cause we believe it even...

that's pretty much it, its a movie i feel like i saw a thousand times. but well. Seems like these days thats the only thing we get to see.

Cinderella and Her Pop Star Prince

I could and will criticize this film, but for the life of me I cannot understand why someone would criticize the film as predictable. The Cinderella story is a universal one so of course the film is going to follow along certain lines.

Poor Selena Gomez is more like the match girl than Cinderella in this film, little more than a slave to former pop star Jane Lynch in one unreal and outrageous performance. Lynch has two daughters as well whom she encourages to dump all over poor Selena. Gomez was the daughter of one of Lynch's backup dancers who died and whom Lynch took in.

Nevertheless Selena has two dreams, a career in the business and a relationship with former boy band pop star, Justin Timberlake like Drew Seeley. So if at some point in your life you've heard the story of Cinderella at any time from the age of two on up, you know exactly how this film will turn out.

Too make up for a most idiotic plot there is some really nice singing and dancing with Gomez and Seeley. Drew Seeley was the touring company stand-in for Zac Efron when the Magic Kingdom sent its High School Musical stars on the road. The young man has a lot of good notes in his voice and Selena Gomez is a very pretty and talented young lady.

Would they had got a film more worthy.

Nice and sweet

I thought the movie decent and I enjoyed the dancing as well. Even though Drew and Selena had a big age difference, they suited each other and the relationship was believable.

Although this was a nice and sweet movie, I thought "A Cinderella Story" was better. Here, the plot was rushed and untidy at times as well as the acting. Also, I thought that it was loosely based around Cinderella and so could have chosen a different name however it wasn't a massive issue.

I still think that this is a nice and sweet twist of the old classic and it's a great movie for anyone who believes that anything is possible if you just believe.

You think you've seen cheesy films, prepare for the master of all

I must begin by saying that if you think that you've seen cheesy films before prepare for the master of all!!! The film was so predictable that at certain places in film I couldn't even look at it. You don't even have to watch the film to guess what's gonna happen, the level of predictability is 10/ 10. It is a real shame because the girl in it (Gomez) is actually a very sweet girl and probably not the worst actress. The guy (Seeley) is way too old to play in this film, and you can notice it from the very beginning. It's probably an OK film for those who are between 10 and 15 years old, but if you are any older, like me, its going to be unbearable for you to watch it, when you think the cheesy part is over prepare for more, cheesiness just keeps pouring out and out. It got to the point where i just couldn't watch it any longer and started skipping through it. Overall I would give it a 3, but probably the younger, much younger, audiences will like it to an extent. If you desperate for a film it will probably do but don't expected much of it, hardly anything at all.
