Summary: I could watch it 5 times a day
Review: It has got to be the best cinderella story ever told. The actors in this movie are some of the best actors I have ever witnessed. The cast was chosen extremely well. It tells of the story of cinderella but doesn't dwell on that fairy tale story. IT makes the situation seem like it could have really happened. It didn't have all that bobity boop stuff everything was so realistic.

Summary: A New Twist on Cinderella
Review: This is probably Drew Barrymore's best movie since ET. It is a light hearted twist on the classic fairy tale Cinderella. The movie starts of with the life of Cinderella before the death of her father and developes all the characters in more depth. The movie is great for kids of all ages, especially those who are older. Its humerous and realistic at the same time. Much better than the Disney Cartoon.

Summary: A Deliciously Romantic Adventure
Review: This movie is pure cotton candy, and I adore it. Could I be more in love with Dougray Scott? A great story, a bit of adventure and a happy ending! What more do you need? The only thing missing from the DVD is more extras, but at least the trailer is there; I love the music they play on it.

Summary: This is how I imagined Cinderella should be
Review: I believe everyone knows the story of Cinderalla---who wouldn't? As a child, I have read the story several times. In fact, it was the 1st fairy tale story I read. Then came the cartoon theatre release, & I saw it several times as well. To a child's simple mind & heart, Cinderella embodies the fulfillment of a quite forsaken dream.Now that I am a mother & am retelling the story to my daughter,I am quite critical of the character. I find the cartoon 'Cinderella' character quite pathetic. Yes, truthful & naive but too soft. Now, Daniella is what I have in mind as the perfect Cinderella. If I were the prince, I would not fall for a lady-in-distress type of maiden. I would look for someone who has guts, intelligence & strength - both physically & emotionally. Yes, Drew/Daniella's physical built was bigger than the ideal fair-framed but hers was more realistic. If you were made to work on the fields like a slave, you would grow strong & rough. Ever After, despite its slightly different portrayal of a long-known fairy tale character, retained its charm & appeal to folks of both gender & of all ages. I am no Drew Barrymore fan but I just loved her as Daniella a.k.a Cinderella.

Summary: GREAT DATE MOVIE
Review: You can never go wrong with a Drew Barrymore movie. While I was skeptical at first when this movie came out, I was pleasently surprised in the end. The new updated and mature telling of the Cinderella story is a must have for the die hard romantics. The performances by Anjelica Houston and Megan Dodds are to be noted. I loved the twist on the other step sister played by Melanie Lynskey (she also starred in "Heavenly Creatures" with Kate Winslet). This is a must have DVD for any Drew Barrymore fan.

Summary: A mature rendition of Cinderella
Review: I love this live action version of Cinderella. It's so modern and retrospective. Quite romantic and true to the middle ages and social issues of that era.

Summary: A Wonderful Surprise
Review: My whole family watched this movie together and we loved it. We had very little by way of expectations but we were all thoroughly charmed by the humor, romance and lush backgrounds. I usually sell my DVDs after I watch them but I'm going to save this one.

Summary: A fairytale to remember
Review: This was such a beutiful movie. It wasn't just another stupid fake fairytale remake, the movie was keepin' it real. I loved it because it wasn't so much of love at first site thing, and they fall in love. They get to know each other. There is not only love in there, for those who hate mushy stuff, there is also some sword fighting, intrigue, hate, betrayal etc. I could go on forever..

Summary: Pretentious little bit of feminist garbage.
Review: The overriding message of Ever After is this: Strong willed women (even whiney sounding ones) can get whatever they want. And all men are either stupid, ineffectual, or just plain evil. Unless of course they're the age of your great-grandfather (and therefore beyond any sort of sexuality). Then they're OK. Poor Drew Barrymore gets the worst dialogue I have ever seen her stuck with. Angelica Huston comes off looking pretty well, but then she gets better lines. I also have to agree with the reviewer who noted that, for a story set in France, everyone has a curiously British accent, by George! I will concede that the costuming and sets are breath-taking. Indeed, if only this were a silent I might even respect it. As it is the only people I see enjoying this are self-absorbed women or castrated men. Oh yeah, one other thing. Do a DVD search on [amazon.com]. Key in the word "Cinderella". Look at the selling price of the other versions. Notice the difference? There's a reason for it. If you've got a winner, you price it for whatever you think you can get away with. If you've got a dog, you lower the price and hope for the best...
