    Solid kid's entertainment and occasionally amusing

    Another Cinderella Story. Its OK - adds a few wrinkles to the old standby fairy tale.

    Ever After, has to be one of my all time favs of Drew Barrymore. This is a lovely take on the tale of Cinderella..with Drew playing the lead. Anjelica Houston plays a perfect wicked step mother looking to make the best for her and her children even if that means getting the lovel...( read more)y Cinderella out of the picture all together. Beautiful film that you will all enjoy.

    This is cute. Although I'm still annoyed by the British accents pretending to be French ones...oh, and the Mona Lisa couldn't possibly be rolled up and carried around. It's wood.

    one thing i found contradicting, this movie tried to present a princess that is an idealist or, on a lesser extent, a feminist but she still cried too much like a disney princess imo. aside from that, i found the film's take on the fairy tale inventive and barrymore's take refreshing from the roles she has now.
