"This is cringe incarnate. There are moments you want to skip or look away. The moments are forced and feel fake. Even the steps (as they dubbed them) are too much at times.
Yes the stepmother is often pushed to the max of cringe in modern teen retellings but this one doesn't actually seem to have an ounce of brains in her. Diabolical or regular. Most of the moments she happens across a plan & it's not even subtle. Also when you look at her actions nothing holds up.
For example, she gets a second invitation for her "special" daughter & planned to not include her 1st daughter & bring "Cinderella" (Kat). Yet two moments after thinks its a good idea to bring her 1st daughter & pass her off as Kat. In what world would she have ever thought of bringing Kat or think to bring her special daughter over her clearly favorite? Then she writes a letter to try & nab another rich husband & portrays herself to be a loving stepmother. Yet then the moment she meets the man she's trying to fool she doesn't stick with that persona & comes off completely gold digging. Honestly, I don't understand how this version of the king didn't think clearly these people are fakes. As they said themselves, they never met in real life, so he has no reason to actually believe this woman & this girl are who they say they are. (Her daughter was a fake Kat but she wasn't a fake widow but she acts like it)
However, the songs are good & catchy. The singers are also great. Plus, their relationship feels more authentic. Except for the part where you can see them being forced together, not actually bonding over shared interests. It's basically him being attracted to her & them staying in honeymoon phase with a hint of mystery.
Finally it is a Cinderella story so it has that going for it. Theres always a charm to a victim choosing kindness over everything despite the evilness she experiences daily. But man, is it easily the worst of the modern cinderella story bunch."
"Actually enjoyable. 4/5 snowflakes."
