Summary: At last! The Slipper & The Rose
Review: I've been looking for this wonderful musical for years, and couldn't believe it wasn't available on video. I first saw it about 12 years ago on TV, then once again while traveling in Germany, but never even got to tape it. The dancing is spectacular, and the music is beautiful. And don't think you know the whole plot -- there is a twist to this Cinderella Story!

Summary: The BEST of the BEST
Review: I first saw this movie about 4 years ago on HBO. It stayed in my memory ever since then, and one day, when I came home from school it was on the Romance Channel. Imagine my surprise! I sat and watched the whole thing, I taped it as well, and I remembered all the songs by heart! It is such a good movie. It by far surpasses all the Cinderella movies I have seen. Emma and Richard are two of the best actors I have seen. The scenery is beautiful, the songs are supurb, and the acting is just very well done. Its extremely romantic, if you are into that kind of thing. Even if you are not, it is the best movie for people of all ages. If I could give it more than 5 stars, believe me, I would!

Review: I first saw this movie as a teenager and have loved it ever since. I too, had a very poor copy taped off T.V. that was almost worn out. The songs are wonderful (who can forget "A bride-finding ball"?) and the scenery is beautiful. I wish that I could give more than 5 stars for this wonderful movie.

Review: Finally,it's going to happen on April 25,2000. I just couldn't believe that a video of one of the best musicals ever made didn't exist. My daughter and I recorded it years ago when she was little and we have watched it over and over for years. You have to get this movie just for the songs which were nominated for the Academy Awards. This movie is destined to become an all time classic. Now, many more people will get to experience the best Cinderella story of all. It's been long overdue.

Summary: At last! I can die happy!
Review: I have loved this movie since I was 12 years old! It is a great musical and I have never been able to understand why it has not received more attention. It is a wonderful retelling of the Cinderella story with well-drawn and interesting characters. It even has an unexpected little twist in the plot (no, I won't say what it is - buy it and see for yourself!) that gives some weight to the emotions of the main characters. It would be so easy to treat this lightly because of how familiar everyone is with the fairy tale. This movie has a little more depth. The music is really great and the dancing more than keeps up with it. Do yourself a favor and see this musical!

Summary: Enchanting..
Review: My dance teacher made us (eh.. forced) to watch this movie in edition to THE RED SHOES. At first, our entire class was bored to death with the opening scenes, but soon we were fish bait: hook, line, and sinker. We were sad to see it end, and we all agree it's fabulous in it's entirety. If you can withstand 40 minutes of boredom, you will be in for a real treat!

Summary: The best musical movie production of all time!
Review: Along with many other fans of "The Slipper and The Rose" I was delighted to finally hear through Jenni's website that this tremendous and beautiful musical was to finally be released on home video. No longer will I have to rely on a taped from tv copy! This musical has everything you could want-humor,drama,suspence, spectacular dancing, and a musical score that leaves one humming the tunes joyously. Lavish costumes and scenery add to the enjoyable story-telling of this truly enchanting version of the classic fairy tale "Cinderella".

Summary: GREAT FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT
Review: Five stars are not enough for this musical! I am so gland this movie is FINALLY out in video. I have looking for it for YEARS. I have 6 copies of it I have made off TV. It is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE musicals, right up there with THE SOUND OF MUSIC, MY FAIR LADY, GIGI. No matter how many times I see it, I still laugh and cry. It is the BEST version of Cinderella I have seen and would recommend it to ANYONE if you like a good romance, great music, beautiful costumes and great scenery. Great for all ages. I recommend it to EVERYONE.

Summary: Don't Let The Title Put You Off
Review: When this movie first opened in the theaters, I had no desire to see it. It was obviously not a movie for a 20-something male, especially when my younger sister thought it was so great. My wife finally prevailed on me to see it. I was completely surprised and delighted. The script writing was incredible. There were so many things that had meaning on so many levels. There were lines that were humorous for children and adults at the same time but on different levels. There was a beautiful balance of duty and love with social commentary that made its point with precision but fit comfortably in the context of the movie. The tongue in cheek parody of other fairy tales makes for some great lines. For me, this movie is definitely a classic in the best tradition classic movies. It will be enjoyable for ages to come. This has been a movie I wished was in my collection for years. Once you have seen the uncut version, the cut for TV version will never be satisfactory.

Summary: Simply Spectacular!
Review: I enjoyed this movie very much. I watched it on TV one night and I am overjoyed that it is coming out on video. The Slipper and the Rose is the Cinderella story. There is a fairy godmother, but the story doesn't rely on magic to help it along. Cinderella and Prince Edward must work through realistic problems and make hard decisions. All the characters are well developed. The movie is an entertaining, delightful way to spend an evening, and I think that all romantics out there will enjoy it. Thank you.
