Rating: Summary: A well performed modern remake of the classic fairy tale. Review: This version of Cinderella, for me, is by far the best one I've seen. Whoopi Goldberg steals the show as the prince's mother. Her singing isn't quite what it was in the Sister Act movies, but her comedic timing was at it's best. With Whitney Houston playing the fairy godmother and Brandy in the role of Cinderella, their pop-diva sound combined with the rich lyrics of Rogers and Hammerstein make for a fantastic musical experience. But the best performace of all is by none other than the legendary Bernadette Peters playing the wicked step-mother. This movie has a splendid musical cast which makes up for the not so splendid acting by Paolo Montalbon and others. All in all, if you are a fan of musicals, you will appreciate this movie and find yourself singing the lyrics when you are alone!
Rating: Summary: Just not good! Review: I saw this version of Cinderella today, and quite honestly, I was very disappointed. The acting was average, but the scripting and production were much too gaudy. The actors were below average and overall, nothing new or enchanting was added to this production. In general, a waste of time.
Rating: Summary: fantastic, beautifully remade, and great.... Review: The movie was a wonderful remake of the 1964 Cinderella. I have always loved Cinderella and I think it was produced perfectlly. I enjoyed the actors and actresses in this movie. I am a big fan of Whoppi and Bernedette. I love to hear Whitney sing and thought her daughter Brandy did a wonderful job also. Thanks for allowing me to tell you what I thought of the movie. It was fantastic and best of all, just as enchanting as the 1964 movie.
Rating: Summary: Great film!! Review: This version took a big risk and, eventhough its tough to see, it was a woderful film. True, Brandy doesn't have the best voice for R&H but her Cinderella was a stronger character and more believable, instead of the usual weak Cinderella. Having great B'dway stars like Bernadette Peters, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber, Paolo Montalban and the two step sister brought life, woderful acting, and wonderful singing to the film. Even though Whitney Houston wasn't the best choice for the Fairy Godmother she produced the movie and you have to admit she can sing. The sets, costumes, and special effects were amazing and brought out the story book mood, something the other versions never did and R&H's score was beautifully brought back to its full glory that just wasn't in the 1965 production. Though the film has a few flaws it's a great film!!
Rating: Summary: Not a great production Review: Unfortunately, in reviewing this production, one tends to compare it with the Leslie Anne Warren version of the 1960's. The earlier version was enchanting. This was a very weak attempt to modernize the story. It really felt flat and strained. Visually, the many different races of the cast caused visual conflict. Generally, a poor job overall.
Rating: Summary: The music made this movie. Review: It was a step away from the traditional, and well put together. The characters were perfect for the story line. The movie pulled you in to this imaginary world, from the marketplace opening, to the palace ending. It was very well done.
Rating: Summary: This was really a bad movie Review: I was very disappointed with this version of Cinderella. Thge singing was awful, and the actors really stunk. It was a flop!
Rating: Summary: The American IQ Plummetted 30 points with this movie Review: How do you describe one of this centuries most horrid productions- well--pathetic! Bernadette Peters, an aging actress looking for work , coupled with the schizoid plot and cast. A very horrible movie. Run away if someone is trying to show it to you, for it will drop your IQ.
Rating: Summary: The songs are good - a fairytale of the 90's ! Review: When I first saw the musical , i feel in loved with the songs ! Tried very hard to find the CD soundtrack but failed . Do you know anywhere can I buy it?
Rating: Summary: This is really funny! Review: Forget Austin Powers! If you want to be tickled by the absurd, watch Whitney Houston try to become an English Princess! A whole multicultural cast as funny as dogs and cats marrying each other. Fried ice cream, mixed with lemon sugar, tart, dumb, and mouth puckering stupid. Watch this when you are really tired, it will wake up your senses and make you, well, kind of sick!
