5/10
Contrived, forgettable, boring
10 October 2016
There really is nothing noteworthy or commendable about this movie.

The plot is a straight-ahead take on the Cinderella classic; only instead of a dilapidated manor, it's the suburbs, high school, and a diner.

The Fiona and stepsister characters are despicable but not in a fun way. Some characters are meant to be hated and you have a good time doing so. Some characters are hated and you just want them off the screen as quickly as possible. This film is overflowing with the latter.

Hillary Duff and Chad Murray are boring. I could not care less about anything Duff said, and I could not care less about Murray in any sense.

The story points are all contrived and unoriginal.

The only character that approaches likability is Rhonda. She's nice and supportive of Sam and all; we'll keep her.

Paul Rodriguez is wasted on this movie.

Overall, just a boring waste of time. Total fluff. If you want a Cinderella-type story, go watch the classic Disney animation and get the real thing. This is a sorry knock-off.
