Twiggy H Total pile of horse-shite trying desperately (and failing) to jump on another author's FANTASY story with a cock-and-bull selfish narrative and total misunderstanding of the 'Cinderella' story entirely. End the miserable use of the word 'self-empowerment' as the first thought anyone would have of hearing such word is desperation and weakness. That film should never have been made as Brigitte Jone's Diary already exists and never used another author's story to base its own story on. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Quite a sweet little TV movie. Didn't expect a whole lot, but it was decent. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A cute little feel good from fat to courageousness with a hunky rich guy-story with women and self confidence issues. I just like Poppy Montgomery, even in the fat suit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot was easy to relate to, and it was quite funny and charming. I liked it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This was actually a really entertaining movie about reaching your goals and believing in an improvement. It's about being able to realise who you really are and about falling in love. It was cute and had a storyline that many people can relate to. To be honest I was happily surprised. This was a highly enjoyable comedy about never giving up and meeting the one person who sees right through your exterior. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Light hearted rom com that was predictable and feel good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
