Sneakerella

An updated, musical version of cinderella where slippers are replaced with sneakers and an aspiring artist as the main character. Though it slows in the middle a little, it's an entertaining revamp with heavy forgiveness and belief themes.

I have seen many different takes on the Cinderella story and the most recent version I saw was Cinderella (2021) starring Camila Cabello, which I thought was laughably bad. So, I was not expecting much with this modern twist of the story, but I tried to keep an open mind.

The acting was surprisingly good, like Chosen Jacobs as the main character El he was good in the movie, and I liked the character he plays as an inspired Sneaker designer. I liked the creative Sneaker designs he made, and I liked seeing him create the Sneakers from scratch with his own ideas.

The songs are good, and the dance chorography was good. There are nice looking camera shots of New York or Queens that were nice to look at, and there were nice looking visuals of the Sneaker designs popping off the page of his sketches.

The romance was cute, and I was invested enough in the main story. Some people might like it and some people might not, but I think you can enjoy it for what it is doing and what twist it brings to the Cinderella story.

Sneakerella is a good example of Disney recycling a Cinderella story but make it an easily forgettable kids film. Sure, it's not the worst Disney Plus movie with some good editing that upgrades from television and an engaging concept of a movie about designing shoes. But the fact this is made from Disney Channel, the execution was pretty poor due to its dull and predictable story. The humor is weak. The characters are bland. And the songs are more they belong on the radio than a movie. This could be a good option just to give an inspiration of designing new shoes probably for the new generation. Even so, I can't recommend this movie much. This is another example of a poorly made Cinderella story we've seen many times before and it's not really worth your time. It would've had better ways to make this enjoyable as a movie about shoe designs. But for what it is as Disney Channel's quantity over quality of making films, it's just another recycled Disney movie. Disney Plus, come on.

It was very boring surprisingly. After the trailer, I expected unbelievable movie that was a fun watch, instead it was boring, a one and done watch.

It's about a guys who created "fly" sneakers and the sneaker king needs to find this man, for sneaker cons and his daughter is the royalty looking for the humble ghetto urban sneaker creator.

I cannot believe I wrote the above but yeah.

This was a musical, with awful tuned music and terrible dance scenes. It was bad.

The acting....was terrible, and not "Trolls 2" terrible where you can have a good time, just bad.

Plot was as above, bad and boring. It's like instead of doing something unbelievably god awful that you can have a good time making fun of it, they fell short and created something boring and terrible.

Thee trailer was more hilariously bad than the actual movie.
