Summary: What a Flick!
Review: "Ever After" is the video to watch! Drew Barrymore is excellent as Danielle, and the heroine's character is portrayed so well throughout the movie! She's strong-willed, fun to be with, and always ready for fun, just the kind of girl you'd want to be good friends with! I must also congratulate the talented actresses who played the stepmother and her daughters. They are so convincing that without them, the whole story would collapse! The plot is magnificent as well, and it's just so wonderful, you end up using up a whole pack of tissues in the end!

Summary: "I shall simply deny you the crown and...live...forever."
Review: WOW, a lot of people have already reviewed this film! It must really be popular. And by the way, thanks to Sean Ares Hirsch's review for helping me to remember this line (title)! I knew there was a really funny one in there somewhere, and I couldn't think of it, but next thing I know I'm reading your review and I saw it. There you go. Anyway, I thought this movie was great. I liked the interaction between the characters and how it really was kind of a "girl power" movie. If you want an unconventional spin on a traditional fairy tale, Ever After is the way to go.

Summary: innovative new version of Cinderella
Review: This is an innovative and highly imaginative new telling of the classic fairy-story of "Cinderella".Drew Barrymore (NEVER BEEN KISSED, THE WEDDING SINGER) plays Danielle, a "modern" young woman of 16th century. She is independant and wise as she is beautiful and kind. Against remarkable odds, she stands up to her domineering stepmother, Rodmilla of Ghent (Angelica Huston), and works miracles on the lives of those around her, and nabs her price charming, the crown price of France (Dougray Scott). This "Cinderella" doesn't wait for her prince to come. She goes out there and grabs him all by herself. A truly new and innovative spin on the classic story. With Jeanne Moreau.

Summary: As a pick-me-up, I watch this over and over.
Review: Its just a feel good, clever Cinderella story. Drew Barrymore plays a great role. She picked a very clever script to refresh her career. And Anjelica Huston is the lady you almost always love to hate. It has alot of great humor in it too. PLUS there is nothing offensive for young children.

Summary: This is an " I feel better about myself movie ."
Review: I really think this is a great movie. Usually when I watch old movies that portray way, way, long ago plots I'm bored out of my skull. Especially the ones with the historical views. This movie is amazing, because they have managed to sneek some historical bits in the scenes(leonardo)without making it into a history lesson. Don't get me wrong it's not an "educational" movie or anything(for all of you moms who want to trick us kids) but,it does have some interesting views on that time. Of course this movie is about romance,and that's one of the best parts about it. so if you like Cinderella with a twist,and way back when movies. You'll love this one.

Summary: The most romantic, uplifting, and empowering movie I've seen
Review: Ever After is one of the most beautiful movies ever filmed. An update on the classic happpily-ever-after story, it does not contain deep insights or revelations, but it does present a romantic story lacking crudeness and most other things that are so abundant in the other movies made in the last few years. Cinderella has undergone a makeover and has become Danielle du Barbarac, played wonderfully well by Drew Barrymore. In the face of oppression, Danielle stands proudly, quoting Thomas Moore while her intellect and passion charm the prince (Dougary Scott) into falling in love with her. It is a movie for all females, showing that men do not have to control things in order for them to succeed. This is a most excellent movie, must see. (Anna and the King, by the same director, is equally breathtaking and a bit more thought-provoking.)

Summary: A Great Family movie!!
Review: This is an excellent movie about more than just being beautiful and therefore the man falls in love... the end! This movie takes us much deeper into the personality and intelligence of Danielle (Drew Berrymore's character). She is not the prettiest girl. She is just a girl who speaks her mind, who works hard and loves deeply! I wish more movies were produced like this that can make you feel good, give a great moral lesson and be entertaining to the entire family. I recommend this DVD to all my friends. The DVD sound and picture is wonderful!!

Summary: Just for "young" girls? I don't think so
Review: This movie is for women of all ages. I have been wondering why hollywood never makes a GOOD woman's movie. Here is one, finally. When you consider the huge sales of romance novels, which are basically all the same, there has to be an extremely unfullfilled audience out there!!! I thought Danielle was just a shade too modern, but the movie was too wonderful to quibble about. Dougray Scott was incredible. I hope he is cast as a leading man more often. I saw he was in MI2, but can't remember him. In this movie, he beats every established hollywood hunk by at least a mile.

Summary: I Love This Movie
Review: This movie is really good. It is like Cinderella yet different. The story of this movie is really good and well throught up. One part that I find wierd is the part with Leodardo da Vinci and how he relates in the story it is a little wired, but don't get me wrong he is a great charactor and adds humor to the story. Drew Barrymore acts wonderfully in the Middle Ages backgroud with all the elegent clothing. Angelica Huston is also a great charactor playing the evil step mother and having a world of her own. This movie is a sad someparts throughout the movie, but over all this is a great movie and I think you should see it today.

Summary: The best Cinderella story ever created..
Review: This movie is absolutely amazing, definitely my favorite of all time. It brings humanity and real emotion to the old Cinderella story. Every single character is well-developed and believeable (with perhaps the exception of one of the stepsisters, but sometimes you just need a villian). Danielle is wonderfully independant, passionate, and strong - all of those are the reasons Prince Henry falls in love with her. It is nice to see him be enchanted by her inner qualities and not simply her beauty. He grows up as a result of meeting her, as she fearlessly discusses her beliefs with him. Leonardo da Vinci is a great character, as the wise, irreverent old man who guides Henry through his emotions and decisions with sharp wit. Even the stepmother has her moments of weakness, and it is shown how her cruelty towards her stepdaughter is fueled by jealousy - the girl's father loved his daughter more than her. At any rate, this movie is a masterpiece and you will definitely feel satisfied at the end.
