Ever After

I love this version of Cinderella. The acting is superb and its a great fairy tale. August 29, 2008

Indulge in this!

Ever After - A Cinderella Story is a sweet period piece starring Drew Barrymore. I saw this movie in the theatre when it was released in 1998 and I loved every minute of it. Barrymore brings warmth and sensitivity to the role and Anjelica Huston is just plain nasty as her wicked stepmother (just how I like a villian to be played). This Cinderella Story has a little bit of a twist, I highly recommend purchasing this gorgeous chick flick, enjoy! June 26, 2008

Wonderful Customer Service!

One of the first things this company did was send me a personal e-mail thanking me for my purchase and giving me the UPS tracking number for my item. The book come promptly and securely. I would look to them to buy more books. June 13, 2008

tiny problem

It's a bit hard to classify this movie: it's basically a big-budget, dramatic retelling of the Cinderella story - minus the fairy godmothers or any supernatural element - aimed at young girls who fantasize about being princesses.

There are many aspects of the film that are well-done, but the major problem with it is the lead actress, Drew Barrymore. It's not that she can't act or doesn't look the part; it's her private life, the lurid details of which are now public knowledge (e.g., in rehab by age 13!).

That being the case, it's virtually impossible to take her seriously as an innocent princess. In fact, it's hard to sit through this movie and think of anything other than the irony -- even preposterousness -- of what you're watching. Perhaps, the filmmakers reasoned, the silliness of this will be lost on the moppet audience to which the movie is geared.

The chief merit of the film, I submit, is Anjelica Houston's chilling and utterly convincing performance as the evil step-mother. The problem there, however, is that it's so well-done that the movie seems to depress you more than it uplifts you, which it does try to do at the end, when everything of course turns out all right.

A net bummer, in other words. June 7, 2008
