Comme Cendrillon: Il était une chanson

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.

I taped this on the dvr to watch with my 14-year-old daughter.I thought it looked like a fun Disney movie, but we were both a little disappointed. This could have been so much better. The writing left much to be desired, as well as some of the acting.

The good: Lucy Hale, Freddie Stroma the little brother,and the music.

The bad: Missi Pyle, as the step-mom was acted out way to cheeky. Narayan as Ravi, the meditation guru, was also pretty ridiculous.

To sum it up, cute for the kids and OK for adults, but I just think with more effort, it could have been a lot better...like 'A Cinderella Story' (Hillary Duff) & 'Another Cinderella Story' (Selena Gomez),which were both much better. Feb 2012

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

Apparently, the line towed, from the very first rendition, on is that the step people tell Cinderella that she is ugly. The problem is that you have to suspend belief because every actress that ever portrayed her, is beautiful. Knowing the story, this rendition makes you hold your breath for the climax. It is not a good writing. Lucy has a great voice and we are just waiting for her to sing. And that's the gist of it. Of all the 'stories', Bailee Madison's is the best. Chalk it up to writing. It's not the fault of the actresses.

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.
