Summary: A Wonderful Adaptation!
Review: This is one of the most cleverly written and acted adaptations of the classic Cinderella story. A nearly flawless film with beautiful scenery, unforgettable acting and a well thought out plot more than compensate for Drew Barrymore's awkard british accent. Many unexpected plot twists, enjoyable costumes and funny situations make this a first rate film for the whole family.

Summary: An excellent film.
Review: I am a huge fan of fairy tales, and this has to be one of my favorites. I thought that the scenery (filmed on location in France) was absolutely breathtaking and (most) of the acting was superb. I think (although many would disagree) that Drew Barrymore seemed uncomfortable with her role. She sounded incredibly awkward using a British accent. But besides to that, Dougray Scott (Prince Henry) was truly extraordinary. By watching the movie you can most definitely tell why he was casted as "Prince Charming". There's something about him that you just can't put your finger on...he has become another one of my favourite actors (Ioan Gruffudd, of course, being the first). A definite must-have!!

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!!!
Review: Amen to all the five-star reviews before me. This movie is magical, and Drew Barrymore's performance is simply luminous. The only thing I would like to add to the previous rave reviews is that the feminist subtext mentioned previously is deftly entwined in the love story, and not at all heavy-handed (as in, say, Mulan). In short, you wind up falling in love with Danielle for the same spirited qualities that the prince does. It would also be a mistake to narrowly categorize this as a children's movie--it works perfectly well as a romance for adults, and I personally think Ms. Barrymore's performance is Oscar-quality. Definnetly worth your while to see!!!!!!! i loved it.

Summary: What a romantic movie!
Review: No guys need to read this other than to buy it for their sweethearts. This is one of the most romantic movies I have ever watched! A friend of mine recommended it to me so I went out and rented it over the weekend ~~ so glad I did!Drew Barrymore can act ~~ with passion and beauty. She is the ordinary girl who got swept off her feet by the prince. And this is the stuff fairy tales are made of. Thank goodness for those kinds of movies! You guys can stick with Die Hard and Lethal Weapons type movies. I'll take this one anytime! It's enough to remind you that romance is still alive and strong!

Summary: I can watch this movie again and again
Review: Ever After is my favorite Drew Barrymore film. Unfortunately, this 5 star movie can only receive 4 stars from me because of the lack of special features included on this DVD. There really isn't any. But the film is amazing. It is funny, sad, frustrating, poetic and victorious. In the film, it says that this is the true tale of Cinderella, and the story then proceeds to be told. Anjelica Houston is pure evil as the stepmother of Danielle. It really makes you hate her.

Summary: A great movie for kids
Review: Our four year old girl much prefers this version of Cinderella to the Disney cartoon. We rented this movie once from the local video store, and with the first viewing, it was obvious that this movie was a must-buy for our collection. It's a full length movie, with a lot more action and excitement than the Disney version. Barrymore's Cinderella is a far better role model for our girl than the cartoon character: she's pretty, strong minded, and tough. The bad people in the movie are not so bad as to be scary to small children, yet convincing enough to have the kids rooting for Cinderella the whole time.

Summary: Delightful retelling of the Cinderella story
Review: I agree with the previous reviewers who liked this movie. I did not expect to like it. The first time through it was a little silly to me. It felt like light-weight romantic mishmash. But something compelled me to watch it again the next day, and I discovered that a great deal happens in the beginnning of the movie that I missed the first time around. For instance, the manservant who is sold into bondage. He was Danielle's father's top servant. Once I recognized his face, the plot made more sense. The stepmother and wicked stepsister are sinister and ridiculous at the same time. And the "good" stepsister was a good idea. It made more sense to have one of the other young women be empathetic to "Cinderella." The young prince was just right, full of strength and spirit, and not too perfect to be believable. And Drew Barrymore! Why, this move makes me want to go out and rent every other movie she's made. She was superb in this film! Just mouthy enough to be exciting, and just docile enough to be ultra-feminine in a lithe teenage sort of way. "Ever After" is an excellent light historical romance. Sweet and cliche but that that's OK. This is not realism. In fact, it's supposed to happen in France, but some (not all) of the actors use English accents. I can imagine that preteen and young teenage girls would find this the best movie of their lives. Adults can also find a great deal here to enjoy. Highly recommended! I liked it!

Summary: Beautifully Ever After!
Review: This is an absolutely beautiful retelling of the classic story of Cinderella. Danielle (Drew) falls in love with the Prince of France. He loves her back until he finds out that she was lying to him. Then, he won't associate with her until she shows up at the masquerade ball trying to prove her love for him. This movie has some witty moments, but is mostly a wonderful romance story.
