I love this movie, besides the original Disney version this is my favorite Cinderella adaption. I agree, Drew does slip with her accent a bit but to me she is so likable and charming that I don't even care, lol. And I feel like this is one of the few versions that more explains why she hasn't left her situation, not only was it her home but she has her maid's and other servants that she loves and they are her family, she would never leave them. I also really appreciate that they give her a real guy best friend and he isn't secretly in love with her, there is no romance there at all between them, I find that so refreshing. I love that they don't have both sister's being nasty, Jacqueline was so sweet to her, even though she obviously wasn't suppose to. Anjelica Huston was the perfect villain, along with Megan Dodds, who played Marguerite, you just couldn't wait to see them get their very needed comeuppance. When Danielle finally snaps and punches her it is SO satisfying but then your heart is broken for her when she burns the book! This is probably one of the few version that I don't think the Baroness had anything to do with her father's death, her reaction to his death seems so genuine and you can see where her hatred for Danielle began, when he had the audacity turn to her and say I love you. You also see her start to show vulnerability to Danielle when they are talking about her parents, that she wants to let her in but just can't so instead she has to insult her and she says some of the harshest things then any other version but still comes off more complex then other versions of the character. I'm glad you liked it, I had a feeling you would!

I worked at a movie theater when this came out, I was 17 years old. (Memory lane is a hell of a trip!) I always had my lunch break at the same time so I ended up watching the exact same 25 minutes in this movie since movie times also stayed the same. Eventually I had to come after work to finally see the whole thing. Lol Loved that perk of working in a theater though.

The historical references in this movie are so awesome. The scene where Danielle carries Henry on her shoulders, when they are attacked by the wanderers in the forest, references the very well-known legend of The Women of Weinsberg. In 1140, when King Conrad III defeated the Duke of Welf and placed Weinsberg under siege, the wives of the men in the besieged castle negotiated a surrender which granted them the right to leave with whatever they could carry on their shoulders, with the permission of the king. Leaving everything else aside, each woman took her own husband on her shoulders and carried him out. When the king's people saw what was happening, many of them said that that was not what had been meant and wanted to put a stop to it. But the king laughed and accepted the women's trick. "A king" he said, "should always stand by his word." The historical references and many other things, such as the production value and the beautiful storytelling, make this one of my most appreciated movies.

I've never seen this either, Travis, and I really liked it! It's much more realistic than the Disney version (which I enjoy) and less harsh than the actual fairytale (the wicked stepmother and her daughters are forced to put on burning hot shoes and dance until they die, or something like that). The prince is actually a character this time and I'm here for it! Their romance is actually believable and not forced down our throats like it is in the Disney version and actual fairytale. I look forward to what you watch next

I loved this movie as a kid! I was never into any of the typical Disney princess movies, but I loved this smart and fiesty version of Cinderella. I think it was one of the first movies to ever make me cry. Granted I was like 8, but I remember crying at just how unfair it all was

I'll always remember when i saw this in the theatre...the part where Danielle calls Marguerite a spoiled selfish cow, this random guy in the audience went "woohoo!!!" LOL

in other versions, the sisters cut off parts of their feet to fit into the slippers and then their eues are pecked out by birds >.<

I never took you as someone who would get into period dramas (a favorite genre of mine) , but now that I see you do, I know what I want to request next! I'd love to see how you like Downton Abbey, but it's a very long tv show.

Oh um, unrelated, have you seen Matilda?
