A fantastic interpretation of an age old classic. This movie has it all, with a modern spark.
Every aspect of the original story has been taken into account and even added to.
But also, for the guys, hot chicks galore, and for the girls, fit AND soulful blokes.
A rockin' soundtrack and slick feel to the whole film, with the obligatory heart-wrenching sorrow of our heroine's father's death and the hatred (oh, such hatred!) of the wicked step- mom, what more do you need for today's Cinderella lovin' breed.
A great film to be enjoyed by the whole family.
Massive thumbs up from OUR whole family.
