Cinderella

bella_nicole42 shared a tip "2/10 uhhh nope. This is probably the worst Cinderella adaptation I’ve seen so far. It was basically just a really long music video for classic pop songs with little else that was interesting. Also James Cordon as a mouse sparks hate in me."

caleigh_knight shared a tip "The problem with this movie is it doesn't know what it wants to be. We can clearly tell its trying to push female empowerment at us but it doesn't have the execution it needs to pull it off. I'm a firm believer in repeating the problems of the past doesn't fix the past. So when they have the boy give up literally everything he knows & loves to follow the girl along her adventure doesn't make me feel good. Like yes I get that girls often did that in movies all the time but making the boy now do that doesn't make it better. Back to the part about female empowerment. The prince has a creepy sister vying for the throne. The only reason she's redeemable is because all of her "ideas" are just modern practices. This girl literally cut the eyes out of a portrait to spy on others & I'm supposed to route for her? Cindys dress that she gets to go to the ball in is ugly. This is THE moment in every Cinderella story & it doesn't even compliment her well either. Yes it's supposed to be her dream design, but if that's the best you got girl you suck. When the fairy godmother dress outshines Cinderellas you know somethings wrong. Yes the fairy godmother is going to be really out there & hard to beat but that has to be done for a Cinderella movie. It's an unspoken requirement. The songs are also cringey. Only a few of them actually work, even then they still kind of suck. When you try so hard to make a song your own version it falls flat. There's a reason so many people had a problem with Glee, & this took it 20 steps beyond Glee. What sucks is you can tell the actors can sing, not all of them but most. Yet none are given the right moments to work. Even Idina Menzel's, who we know can sing, voice is not allowed to truly shine. Material girl is one of the better songs but when they push "this is an original cover" all the good falls away. The exact same problem happens with the story."

dorian_black_7262 shared a tip "It’s not for musical fans (who’ll be turned off by the poor staging and mediocre cinematography; not to mention how they try to virtuesignal against the concept of being a musical), it’s not for jukebox fans (because, while the songs are well-sung, they either have nothing to do with the scenes, like Rhythm Nation, or they’re as basic and surface level predictable as it gets, like the evil stepmother and stepsisters singing Material Girl), it’s not for people who like fairy tales (because they’re even more defensive about making a fairy tale and saying how stupid and unrealistic fairy tales are), and people who hate fairy tales and/or musicals will have already been turned off by it. And it’s DEFINITELY not for Cinderella fans because there’s 10,000 other Cinderella movies, most of them much better than this one—including the Disney remake, which I can’t say I liked, but this movie is clearly the watery Blue Sky cola to that movie’s Pepsi. And somehow seems to act like, between making Cinderella a Strong Independent Woman (literally Option B of any Cinderella story with Option C being “modern setting”), all of this “ZOMG people SINGING?! In a MUSICAL?!?!” and “Fairy tales don’t make a lot sense, huh?” is some white-hot hot take like they’re the first people to think of it. The term “unearned sense of accomplishment” has never felt more deserved."

hannah_grivna shared a tip "It was ok. A good watch, but I wasn’t blown away. I didn’t realize how many cover songs it would have. Only 2 originals. And half the actors were great, the other half fell flat for me."

carissa_santos shared a tip "It’s like a 2 hour episode of Glee. Had some cute moments. Added a STRONG feminist twist (like almost irritating). I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it."

reganator_xc shared a tip "A very different take on the classic Cinderella story. I will say that the music was very catchy from the covers to the original songs."

kayla_carrington shared a tip "I was really disappointed with this movie. Then again I've never been a fan of musical movies. I would expect Cinderella to more grand than this movie was. It was very bland to me. The fairy godmother was the best dressed and by far the best part! I just watched another Cinderella movie yesterday and I wanted to end this movie to watch the other movie again. I was really excited about this movie coming out too. So that kinda blew when I didn't like it. It is however empowering for young ladies."

hannah_vasquez shared a tip "i wasnt expecting to like it but it was SO GOOD i loved the overall message, the witty commentary, and the music choice. i think it used a classic fairytale to produce a better message for girls in the future"

vanessa_cruz_3804 shared a tip "This movie left me quite satisfied. From the casting to the music to the storyline. I love how they didn't try to recreate the classic tale. I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. Camilla did such a amazing job!"

simplyjamilah shared a tip "This was way better than I expected. It’s like the empowered version of Cinderella, and I am so here for it. I think Camila Cabello was the perfect person to play this role, especially with the wittiness and attitude the script entailed. I also really enjoyed the music, which was a combination of originals and covers of pre-existing songs."

kalayna_rob shared a tip "It's alright definitely not my first pick. If you are big on musicals then this is definitely a good movie for you. Over all o have watched this more than once."

lexi_2522 shared a tip "absolutely not…we don’t need another cinderella story but billy porters costumes slayed as always #billyporter #cinderella #camila"

barb_boehler shared a tip "This actually wasn't that bad. It is more of a musical, and the costumes were both imaginative and beautiful. Although, it did leave out most of the original story of Cinderella, but I think that was the point."

andrea_blas shared a tip "Watched this movie recently and it’s very different from the other Cinderella adaptations that have been done in the past (in a good way). Must watch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

g_lewis shared a tip "Such an amazing movie! I loved all of the songs, most of all Dream Girl and Million to One. I love how they adapted the fairy tale to have amazing messages for newer generations. "If it's a choice, I choose me." It also has an amazing cast, including the ever-so-talented Camila Cabello (can you believe this is her first acting role?), Billy Porter, Idina Menzel and more. I really enjoyed the acting, the costumes, and the comedy. Excellent role models too! I totally recommend."

autumn_b._8046 shared a tip "This one took me a bit by surprise, I was skeptical at first, but the sound track was pretty good ( not to mention a AMAZING mashup in the ball scene). And she the fact that she get to follow her dreams and marry the prince. Over all 5/10"

book_sawyer shared a tip "I wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did! The music and singing were great and I left with a few songs stuck in my head. Camila Cabello was amazing in the title role. This is definitely one I’d recommend!"

britney_lessig shared a tip "It was ok, personally I didn't like all the cover songs, would've preferred more original sings! Also I feel like they shouldn't have called it Cinderella, they should've created their own name and did their own thing. I think if I were 12 I'd enjoy it more."

lisy shared a tip "Just fun dance times about chasing your dreams and letting nothing get in the way! Not even love! Just be warned James Corden is in it. =\"

katherine_stoof shared a tip "Omg, this movie is absolute perfection. My 17 month old son and I watch it everyday at least once. #girlpower #music #bestmovieever #bestmovie2021 #romance #comedy #fantasy #family #lovedit"

marely_gutierrez shared a tip "I enjoyed watching Cinderella! It's a very great movie to watch and more if your a huge fan of Camila Cabello! Her acting skills are so inspiring! 👌🏻"
