Cinderella for the 90's
4 August 1998
This movie is excellent. It was quite refreshing to see a Cinderella story where she doesn't rely on the prince to get her out of sticky situations. Drew Barrymore is surprisingly good as Danielle, the Cinderella character. Her co-star, Dougray Scott, portrays Prince Henry as a complex and intellegent young man. He knows what he wants but is unsure how to get it. What makes this film fun, though, is the evil stepmother Rodmilla and the evil stepsister Margurite. (I don't consider Jacqueline evil because she turns out to be a good person.) The scenes where these two scheme and pry their way into the royal family are hilarious and their punishment is deserved. In all, this movie is one to see over and over again.
