Summary: A Truly Magnificent Fairytale
Review: There are two things I love about this movie. First, it is beautiful. The actors are beautiful (especially Dougray Scott). The costumes are beautiful. The scenery is beautiful. Watching this movie, makes me feel as if I am part of the fairytale. Second, this is a great twist on the Cinderella story. We see a girl who has been beaten down in almost all aspects of her life, but does not allow her spirit to be beaten. Trying to save one of her beloved servants (though she has become a servant herself) she goes to court to free him, also meeting the prince. He is, of course, smitten, and she keeps up a masquerade of a lady, in order to continue seeing him. The story follows the basics of the Cinderella tale (slipper, wicked stepmother), but in this case, we have a Cinderella who doesn't need a prince to save her, just to love her for who she is. In any case, this is a wonderful movie. Problems are resolved quickly, and in the end, everyone gets their just desserts.

Review: I never made it to the movie theatre to see this movie so I bought it. I just watched it last night and I thought it was very good. This is the kind of movie that can lift you out of a bad mood in a hurry.

Summary: A Moving, Touching, And Very Entertaining Film!
Review: Possibly one of the best Cinderella adaptions, this gem offers a twist on the classic story: what if there were no "Fairy Godmother"? Well, the result is a fantastic movie with great acting and a delightful storyline. Drew Barrymore is *perfectly* cast as Cinderella, along with Anjelica Huston as her cruel step-mother. Wonderful movie! I thuroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Summary: Perfect Love Movie
Review: This Is the perfect movie for romance. Showing how people shouldnt use predjudice when it comes to love. I think Drew Barrymore did a exelent job at acting, and think she should try more roles in these type of movies. Pefert part about the movie is....it doesnt repeat every damn thing about the childs play Cinderella. It is a adult version that is totally different and thats why I think it is a good movie.

Summary: Gives an old story new shine
Review: This version of the classic Cinderella tale is very well done. I love the attention to details of everyday life and a heroine who's wit and fire spark an impossible romance. A feast for the eye and heart with a little poetic justice thrown in for good measure.

Summary: Absolutely brilliant telling of "Cinderella"
Review: This movie is a stunning and refreshing tale of love, loyalties gained and lost and regained, and of life. It tells a story that might well have been the story behind the story of "Cinderella." Drew Barrymore is outstanding as Danielle, the movie's lead character. She is reduced to peasant's status after her loving and nurturing father dies. As time passes, her vain and conniving step-mother goes to extreme lengths to get one of her daughters noticed by the crown prince of France. Danielle, in the meantime, impersonates a courtier in order to save the life of a fellow peasant and life-long friend, and she gets noticed herself! Yikes -- a charade on dangerous ground. The acting is good, the imagery is great, the story is familiar, but not, and the casting is superb. Kudos all around! This is definitely a 5 star offering. It is fun, has something for everyone, it is universally watchable, and children and adults alike are able to enjoy it to the fullest. Don't let this video get away. Alan Holyoak

Summary: enchanting
Review: I was intrigued by this movie the first time I watched it. Then after the second time, I was addicted. I guess I want to say that this one is an absolute must for any true romantic. It's one of those rare movies that makes you believe that there is still such a thing as TRUE LOVE. What a refreshing thought.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful, My favorite movie
Review: I work as a contractor employee at NASA. I know I am supposed to love movies like Contact and Apollo 13... and I do... but I can deny it no longer, "Ever After" is my favorite movie. The plot is the Cinderella story with a couple of captivating twists. Instead of a fairy godmother, there is the genius Leonardo De Vinci, and Danielle (Cinderella) can actually think for herself. Although I love the plot, there are so many other stunning details that make this movie a masterpiece. These include the setting, the costumes, the casting, the characters, and the historical tie-ins. Now, I haven't dug up my old history books to verify the details, but the historical links draw you in and make the story seem less like a fairy tale and more like reality. The bottom line is that I absolutely love this movie on so many different levels. This is a classic, and much much better than any other telling of this story I have ever seen or heard. It is a Masterpiece.
