      Sandra V Even though it's obviously a TV movie, it's clever enough in its twist on Cinderella to hold your attention, especially in the relationship between Cinders and her "ugly stepsisters". Sweet and watchable, but it could have been so much more. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/04/13 Full Review Audience Member It was okay, but it wasn't my favorite. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member In parts pretty interesting, but not as dark as it could be. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent unknown movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A very cool movie that tells the tale of Cinderella from an entirely new perspective. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member i actually liked this film. it's a very interesting spin on the well-loved cinderella story. loved the character iris played by azura skye and how she portrayed the talented, intelligent but less glamorous and less significant "ugly" stepsister. she would have won the prince's affections with her wit and character if only he never laid eyes the more beautiful cinder girl. men are so easily blinded by beauty. tsk tsk tsk...it only goes to show that princes are indeed stupid and that they're better off with the less interesting princesses, whereas strong and talented women like iris deserve so much better!
