Kevin Carr 7M Pictures If you aren't a tween girl, this really isn't going to catch you. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 5, 2013 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat It's only real point of view is that the best things you can aspire to in life are to be "hot," to land a cute boy, and to become a famous pop star.

Rich S It starts with a Katy Perry-sounding song and it should have been cut and printed right then and there. The only other decent song in the movie was done by an a capella group in the bathroom ... while at the urinals. Fitting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/20 Full Review Audience Member there isn't even?? any character development?? all around terrible Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member "Pretty doesn't last very long" - Bev van Ravensway - Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Why can't I stop watching these movies? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member If the voice matches! So this is the third film in the franchise of modern 'Cinderella' adaptation. It was not like a film series that follows from one film to another. All the films were individual and thematically same at the core, but told from different perspectives with different cast and characters. I have seen the previous two and they were not bad. Maybe you can say I watched it for Lucy, otherwise I was not interested in it. A decent film, but you know, we know the story how everything's going to happen, which is the negative side of giving it a try. I felt they should have altered a bit with the more it to look like a real Cinderella story from the visual aspect. Like suspense between Cinderella and the prince. Though the step-family part was up to the satisfaction in a simple manner. Now coming to that magical event, as this takes place in the modern world and without magics, I liked how they showed that part as much as realistically. But in the name of Bollywood/Indianess, they wrongly depicted everything. I mean the costumes, songs, choreography, all were close to Indian style, except the female costumes, which became Arabian nights. Because Indians won't cover their head or face, culturally or religiously. That was a big mistake and if you are a western viewer, this won't be an issue, so you might enjoy the film. I think it's an okay film, one time watchable film, but I would suggest previous films over this. 6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Bro I want to see this so bad!
