Critics Consensus

Ever After is a sweet, frothy twist on the ancient fable, led by a solid turn from star Barrymore.

Drew Barrymore plays the complicated belle of the climactic ball and develops a convincing intellectually based friendship with the prince.

The script by Susannah Grant, Rick Parks and director Andy Tennant successfully maintains the story's period trappings while introducing a heroine with modern resonance.

Given that this is adolescent romance, never straying far from traditional stereotypes, its 'progressive' feel-good aura is mainly down to Barrymore, whose limitations are only exposed in big love scenes.

The story of Cinderella has been told so many times. There has to be a different spin on it. Or it would be no different than the original story. Telling the story the same way over & over again would be pointless. It's interesting to see Drew Barrymore speak with a British accent. She's bloody brilliant. The movie has action, adventure, & romance. Some parts of the film are heartfelt. Particularly like the part when her character dresses up like a noble woman to save the life of a servant. She frees the servant using the prince's money. What she gave her earlier in the film ensure her silence for recognizing him. It's nice to see the character of Cinderella as a protagonist & not as a helpless hapless character. Ever after: A Cinderella story is a fun family friendly film.

This movie was pretty good although it did make me mad the whole entire movie. My opinion I feel like Danielle should never have gotten with the prince. And I wish that the stepmother died 😕 also Daniela never got to explain her hard life story before the prince judged her for being a peasant and even though he is her husband she's still didn't tell him about her past. The movie would have went way more neat if she just told him a long time ago about her past and the truth about her name.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
