A Nova Cinderela: Superstar

A cute movie, honestly! Cringey at some points, but really easy to watch & light-hearted!

It's a feel good romance movie. Nice female and male leads. Good songs and performance. Light entertainment when you need a break from more intense shows.

Too much cleavage and tasteless outfits for the female cast. Disappointed to see Bailee lower her standards. She was so good in Bridge to Terebinthia.

My wife and I enjoyed this at home on DVD from our public library. It is a new take on the traditional Cinderella story. Here a pretty and talented young girl is the stepdaughter. Her stepmom and stepsister are both wicked and especially stupid. The other sibling is a very smart but devious stepbrother. They all live on the farm with chickens, pigs, horses, and a milk cow.

The film crew comes to their small community and conducts tryouts for the locals. The movie gets made, the stepmom and her two kids get their just due.

The featured young couple are very cute and entertaining. There are a few cringe-worthy scenes and the movie will be forgotten tomorrow as the sun rises, but it is suitable as light entertainment. It is not a musical but there are a few production numbers included.

All those convincing actors did their best. I loved Finley, so sweet and kind and carefree but lacked some depth to her role when came to sadness expressing. The movie would come out far better with stronger plot, the story was so loose sorrowfully.
