Cynthia deserved better

[hazard111 · 5/10 · 15 May 2021]

I love Cinderella adaptations so I may be a bit biased. I wasn't expecting the greatest acting so the subpar acting here wasn't so bad to me. Reminds me of telenovelas which I loved growing up.

I do like that they didn't make her into an orphan like the usual Cinderella. I would've rated this higher but this movie infuriated me. That's good to me because it meant it's realistic like the father being an a-hole. I wanted to slap him in the face. But I'm mad that he didn't have any redemption to rekindle his relationship with Cynthia...dude didn't even apologize properly.

I honestly feel like out of all the Cinderella movies I have watched this is the one that I truly felt the unfairness and anger and frustration. That stepmother really knows how to be a B! LOL.

Then we get the blegh 'prince'... he deserves to be single. Kudos that his not knowing who she was is at least believable but like... I sort of get that he got embarrassed being stood up but he didn't even try to listen when the actual lady in question actually showed up. Hello?? Entitled much?? Their dialogue together didn't even spring love to me... only on his side I guess? IT was a very quick love.

Overall. Good one time watch if you're into Cinderella adaptations. It's easy to watch. Don't listen to the dub btw!! The dub acting is worse than the actual acting.

Dubbed voices are terrible

[stannius-420-80208 · 3/10 · 17 June 2019]

The English voice actors they used to dub this are terrible. The kind of dubbing that gives dubbing its bad reputation.

The only reason I didn't give this one star was that my 9 year old daughter enjoyed watching it.

Next Cinematic Masterpiece?

Probably not, but I watched this with a group of about 10 other teenage girls to laugh at it and it was entertaining. The drama is pretty fun to watch as the evil step-mom is just the most evil chick ever and there are puppies! Also Rafa is a sweet baby.

In a bit of a twist, one of the step sisters gets a redemption arch and Cinderela's Still better than the main couple, where were pretty average and unoffensive if you don't count when the dude got mad at the main girl (you can tell I'm bad with names) for no reason toward the end and then almost immediately had to apologize. Also on a similar note, the main chick's aunt was pretty misandrist for no reason and her slam poetry was hilarious garbage, although I'm certain that was the intention. Still, it was funny.

I see other people here complaining about the dubs, probably not realizing that this was originally in Brazilian Portuguese so... yeah the dub is not going to match their lips. The dub is actually fine though, but keep in mind that on Netflix if you turn on the subtitles and the dub at the same time, they'll be similar but not the same due to how those things are made.

As a person who just loves to sit down and watch some teen drama trash, it was fun, especially with a crowd. Or if you're here wondering about if your kid should watch it (the target audience) then sure why not. Yeah my review is 2 stars, but low quality doesn't always mean low entertainment, especially if you're just trying to entertain some kids for an evening.

Horrible acting

[malayahvictoria · 15 June 2019]

Movie was very boring, acting was horrible. Also the words that were said in the movies did not match up to the persons mouth when they were talking. Through out the whole movie it was like that which made it very horrible and hard for me to watch. You guys need to improve acting and graphic.

good movie to laugh

[pedroalourenco · 2/10 · 23 January 2021]

All acting is terrible, the plot is worse than the original cinderela, but if you are with your girlfriend and she is on her period, this is the best movie pssible. It's very funny to watch high too.

Voiceover is terrible.

[indiahasham · 2/10 · 15 August 2020]

I couldn't watch more than 20 min of it. I ended up turning subtitles on and turned the volume all the way down. I understand its from a different country but dubbs are usually made to fit not just placed onto the scenes. You can tell that it is dubbed from the beginning. I wouldn't recommend this movie.

an enjoyable movie

[ar_jake0316 · 3/10 · 11 June 2022]

An enjoyable teen love story movie. My daughter loved it so i think it goes more than the usual teen pop movie. It has teen appeal. Storyline could have been better but definitely something fun.

Cinderella tale with believable characters

[aquawave-84891 · 8/10 · 16 June 2019]

I'm not sure why the movie industry likes to adapt the Cinderella tale to music-oriented storylines, but this is probably my favorite movie of this trend.

While some characters could've been casted better, i found reactions to be pretty genuine. Additionally, this movie didnt have me facepalming over how the "prince" couldn't tell it was her. He was an intelligent character who could be 100% forgiven for not figuring it out sooner.

This movie also explores more than just cinderella's love and believing in her musically-inclined abilities, but also the nature of valuing relationships and of self-love with other characters.

It's pretty good

[oliviashearer · 8/10 · 26 June 2019]

Before you watch the movie, use the subtitles because the dubbed English is horrible. This movie is a great take on the story of Cinderella. It's has it's moments for sure -yes some of the acting is a little over the top at times- but it has good morals about not compromising who you are or your dreams for a man. Plus the soundtrack is banging too.

A great movie for teens

[GTWiecz · 8/10 · 5 October 2019]

Seeing a lot of people saying the dubbing was bad. Turn it off! Just read the subtitles and listen to the original Portuguese. A cute movie for teenagers. Beautiful clothes and locations.

A pretty good Cinderella movie

[Mlle_Chouette · 8/10 · 8 September 2019]

I doubted if I will like the movie after seeing such a low rating, but it was actually good. Even though some of the characters were over-acting, the characters were generally believeables and the story as intriguing as it could be (when we all know how it will end, obviously) . I watched it with subtitles, so can't say anything about English dubbing.

I would place this movie second after "another Cindirella Story" in the list of "modern teenage remakes". A very strong 8/10

One of my favourites Cinderella movies.

[chris_ts · 10/10 · 24 April 2021]

The characters are believable and unique. The story is different from the classics and I love it for that. The music is great and the acting is flowless. Nothing more to say.

10/10 recommend

[emessn · 10/10 · 10 August 2019]

This movie was the weirdest movie I have ever seen. The translation from Spanish to English was way to literal and the dubbing was weird. If you are bored and want to laugh watch this movie on Netflix.

Funny and entertaining

[sara-boline · 10/10 · 3 June 2020]

It had all the same teen drama you would want and the Cinderella theme. Cynthia wants to be a different and she is a musician . Her parents have issues and in come the ruble step mom and sisters.. She's moves in with her aunt and her aunt boyfriend who is a DJ.. Cynthias have to run ends with Freddie Prince who becomes a pop musician. He gets famous . In this movie it's is dub In English but it's really good . I loved the story made me laugh . Has some twist and ends they way it should.
