Another Cinderella Story


Did you hate High School musical?? or thought it where okey-ish then you would love this movie.
It's a modern version of the classic tale Cinderella. But everything's still there, the wicked stepmother and the two dumb *i'm the most beautiful creature god created* stepsisters.
But to be fair it's the stepmother and the stepsisters who's the best parts in the film.
Jane Lynch (L-word) plays the Stepmother, she's an old pop sensation who still think she's the best in the pop world.
Her two daughters played by Emily Perkins and Katherine Isabelle reprise there role as sisters for the fourth time (the other three times in the Ginger Snaps trilogy which I totally love). But in this film they are not scary crazy but just funny, dumb and totally airhead crazy.
The Prince everyone want is a pop star and is portrayed like a Justin Timberlake look alike.
Cinderella, oh Cinderella, she's still the stepmothers slave and maid but her biggest dream is to get into The Manhattan Academy of Dance.
Then you have the classic Uber bitch and the friendly best friend, the friendly star best friend.

Yet it's original, specially the stepsisters and the stepmother.

I really recommend you see this one even though there's some bad acting by some (like the prince and Cinderella).
I'll give it 6/10
It's not great, but well worth to see, specially if you're Ginger Snaps fans, then this film will be priceless because of the Emily and Katherine scenes.
