(4 out of 5 stars)

"When my daughter put this on, I was skeptical, to say the least. Oy, I thought, another bad romantic comedy. Well, I am happy to report that I was dead flat wrong: this is a funny, intelligent take on a an old story and it really works. The actors are uniformly excellent and the story is even somewhat believable. Cinderella is a tough smart chick, the prince is rebellious and open-minded, and Leonardo is a wise manipulator. This is a really fun watch, witty and with good values and not stupidly unrealialistic or blankly politically correct.



I recommend this for family watching. There is something in it for everyone."
