I love Rob Lowe. Don't mind Jennifer Grey. Love the 80's. Love a cheesy romance but I have never seen anything as bad as this. I kept watching hoping, praying it would improve and it didn't. The acting was shocking, the background music to heavy one minute and non-existent the next. The whole concept of Cinderella is that the Prince Charming character is good, kind and lovable. Salvitore is non of those things.
Life is far too short to watch this and there are many great romantic 80's movies that are worthy of your time.

This is a wonderful take on the Cinderella Story. It's cute but different. It focuses on the confidence rather than the short end of the stick. The step sisters are terrible, slovenly roommates and the man up for grabs is the egocentric Rob Lowe who gets a reality check when he falls in love. It's entertaining.

If you're looking for great drama and deep meaning, skip this one. But if you want a new twist on a familiar story, try it. Cinderella was never more fun and Jennifer Grey is quite wonderful. Rob Lowe is beautifully self-absorbed. The fairy god-mother is a hoot! Vain roommates, greedy co-workers and sycophants round out a rather non-traditional cast and keep the spirit light. And I always cheer when "Cinderella" takes charge of her own destiny. I enjoy it all over again at each viewing. The look inside the world of the fashion industry and the quest to be one of the beautiful people just adds to the pleasure. It is just plain fun!
I just wanted something easy to watch and this was exactly that. It's not an award winning, never before done, change your view of the world movie, just simple, lighthearted and fun. I look forward to watching it again.
This movie, although obviously low in budget and made for T.V, is sweet and entertaining. You find yourself getting caught up in the romantic feel of the film, and although you think Salvitore is a twit, you can't help but want Kelly to land up with him. Rob Lowe also is a plus to this film, and even though Jennifer Grey had already lost her Dirty Dancing teenage gawkiness, you still like her and hate the "ugly sisters". It has a happy ending and an enjoyable plot line, although intensely impossible in many parts, like the rapid changing scenes. You won't be disappointed with this film if your looking for a hunky leading man, a cute, quirky leading lady and a fairytale ending!
