A Nova Cinderela: Era uma Vez uma Canção

One of the best Cinderella movies! Loves the music & the storyline!

Though the movie was released way back 2011 (not sure), I'd like to put some insights here and I just wondered why Lucy was not that famous in her early years in media. But in this movie, I only watched it because of Lucy and the silky smooth hair of Freddie haha. The songs as well, I really love Make You Believe In Me and Bless Myself because Lucy's voice match the song, and its orgasmic to the ears.

I've seen reviews from parents saying that they watched it with their kids, and had been disappointed. Well I don't get that perspective since I watched this movie alone before, so there's no one to bother me haha.

Aside from that, the evil stepsister looks like an ugly version of Ashley Tisdale and the evil stepmom is okay, not gonna comment so much about her.

All in all, the movie is about the songs as indicated in the title. But now, I'm re-watching it, still my favorite, however its already 2020 and kept wondering why Lucy Hale is not that famous before and until now with Katy Keene. There had been 7 seasons of PLL but beyond that, its like nothing else after that.

I've probably given it a slightly generous rating and that's probably thanks to the music, I'm so pleased that there is finally a teen musical movie that has kids in it that can act and sing. Not the whiny voices Disney keeps trying to tell us we like but ones you might even consider buying an album of (without 3 weeks of whining from the pre-teen in your life). Admittedly they probably wouldn't win Idol off their own backs but they can sing, just have a listen to Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars) in the opening.

The plot and supporting characters can seem a bit flimsy at times but to be honest, who really watches these types of films and expects them to win an Oscar?

Definitely worth 88 minutes of your life. Preferably with a tub of Ben & Jerry's and your most comfortable PJs

Not my favorite Cinderella Remake but it was okay it wants super duper cliche like a lot of the Cinderella remakes are but it was still cliche. It is probably my least favorite remake so far along with A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits

This movie is honestly really great! Lucy Hale is great at playing her role and has an amazing singing voice. She becomes strong overtime and doesn't obey like most of the other Cinderellas. Jessalyn Wanlim is great as the best friend/fairy godmother role. The others are alright, definitely not the best but still did their part well. I didn't even know Freddie Stroma could sing until I saw this movie. His voice is great too! The songs are fun and catchy, the choreography for the Bollywood dance scene is one of the best I have seen in awhile, and the story is good. The ending is the best part of the whole movie. I loved getting to see Lucy's character have her moment to shine. This movie isn't as good as the others before it. I think they could have done better but this was still really entertaining and fun to watch.
