Our heroine (Camila Cabello) is an ambitious young woman, whose dreams are bigger than the world will allow, but with the help of her Fab G (Billy Porter), she is able to persevere and make her dreams come true.

Critics Consensus

This singalong-worthy Cinderella sprinkles some modern fairy dust on the oft-told tale, but flat performances and clunky dialogue make watching often feel like a chore.

The world may not have needed another Cinderella, but fun songs and a great cast make this update easy to enjoy.

This new take on a classic tale is a worthy addition to the long list of Cinderella adaptations.

Cannon has something to say, and I do think there's value in the messages she's working overtime to impart. But the various pieces of this musical never join together in harmony.

Cinderella is oddly depressing in just how forced its joviality is, and how flimsily it's executed.

Cinderella offers very little worth remembering. It’s bland, overlong, and unimaginative, with only a couple of passable and entertaining performances to keep it from collapsing entirely.

1/5

It’s a musical without good songs. It’s a comedy that isn’t funny. It’s a romance that lacks spark. The biggest casualty is Cabello who has some noticeable charm and even a little swagger.

If the trailer and a mouse-costumed James Corden’s aggressive pelvic thrusting at Los Angeles drivers weren’t red flags, let’s assure you: Camila Cabello’s Cinderella is banana-ooh-na-nas.

Inspired by the Cinderella tale, this film offers a modern twist focused on gender equality, portraying Ella as a strong, independent woman rather than a helpless victim. It redefines traditional roles—like a caring stepmother, flawed prince, and even a male fairy godparent—to support its empowering message. While the film's bold differences disappointed some viewers, it remains a thought-provoking and watchable reimagining, best appreciated when seen as Ella’s story, not a retelling of the classic fairytale.

This movie doesn’t even deserve half a star. What were they thinking? The singing is dreadful, the acting wooden and the script painfully weak. The dialogue is so clumsy it makes you roll your eyes every few minutes. I’ve tried to find at least one redeeming feature, but there isn’t a single one. Zero. Absolutely nothing.

Bad, is all i can say the storyline is the only thing holding it together. (and some of the actors) The songs where mediocre at best, talking about visuals, vocals, harmonizing melodies and editing And there where many song. (too many) Don't get me wrong a like a good musical, even a bad one at times. But this was not it. In short not even a good hate watch,..... sadly

The only reason this isn't a one star movie is because it's a fun so-bad-it's-good kind of watch where you get a group of friends & either have a drinking or smoking game. Otherwise, this is just a bad movie.
