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.

Audience Says

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

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

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 1/5

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

Is it bad? Absolutely. But it's also delirious camp. (There's also something very entertaining about how bad it is).

Rated: 2.5/5

I didn't love it. The casting wasn't great and the songs were dull. It was too different from the original; I felt like it deserved a unique name. Trust me when I say you are not missing much if you don't watch it.

Não é o pior filme baseado no conto da Cinderela, mas peca em alguns aspectos de conectividade com o público. A integração de um conto moderno e aceitável é visível, mas em alguns momentos parece forçada ou desconectada da essência emocional que essa história costuma evocar. As tentativas de atualizar a narrativa com discursos contemporâneos são válidas, mas muitas vezes superficiais.

This one one of those movies that's so close to being so good, but then it had these moments that are so strange and irrelevant that it throws the whole thing off. The performances from Idina Menzel and Camila Cabello were wonderful though

Campy and wonderful 💕 just enjoy the magic and color and fun and songs stop being so cynical for a day. Watch this movie with the heart of a child and you will love it.
