If this spin on the tale is not quite diverting enough to justify its existence, the movie, directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, is at least not a soulless exercise.

As a tween musical full of catchy songs, the shoe fits.

Rated: 7.6/10

Variety

Heartening sentiments about the passionate pull of artistic expression and the ingenious meta context of the narrative’s underpinnings help buff away the scuff marks, making for a surprisingly satisfying reboot of a tired but timeless classic.

This has some fun dance sequences but it dragged on for far too long with some annoying characters

Sneakerella is an average family film that won't blow anyone's mind. There are a number of cheesy scenarios and humour that should appeal to kids. However, it is still an interesting attempt to see how the movie modernises an old fairy tale.

A hip-hop, gender-swapped twist on the classic fairy tale, the musical Sneakerella likely will appeal to young viewers and tweens, even if older viewers find parts of it a tough fit.

This movie is Beautiful. My family and I really enjoyed it. The songs, visuals and actors were all great. I also think they did a great job putting a twist on the Cinderella story. I highly recommend for everyone.

I know this is a twist on the shoe part of the Cinderella. But it really doesn't work. The whole world is nothing but shoes. That's all anyone talks about or is the priority. Maybe I'm not the audience for the movie. But my priorities for shoes if A, they fit and B, if it gets me where I need to go. All this is obsession with something that wears out is stupid. Plus, El? That's all? That's not even a name, it's two letter. If it was Al and was short for something I can see it. But it's never brought up what El was short for. Other than one of the THREE writers thinking that the E L from Cinderella was clever. Head's up, it's not. And the stepfather was wrong for holding it down but for most of the movie it's plays out like he's evil for wanting his stepson to have more realistic goals. The music is more annoying than catchy and only about shoes. I have seen better modern twists on Cinderella. If you wanna a good modern version of Cinderella, try "Cinderfella". Leave this shoe obsessed movie alone. A rare miss from Disney.

I am SO glad I decided to watch this wonderful movie and ignored the audience rating that I can feel confident saying was skewed by a anti-Disney and other stuff campaign. It was a fun peppy spin on the age old classic Cinderella. I found myself laughing, even crying, and shimmying to the songs while in my seat. It is not everyone's genres, I get that, but it is certainly NOT a bad movie at all. It is a kids fun twist of a age old story brought into today. With big dreams and bigger ambitions on our protagonists mind, his travels through pride, self doubt, and regret, are all good lessons for any child to see. What a FUN FUN musical of a movie.

If you're into tokenism, show tunes, and ugly shoes you'll love this movie.
