It was the best of films, it was the worst of films..
....okay, actually it's neither, but the jury seems to be out on which it is. Everyone under eighteen loves it, everyone over eighteen slams it. I'm forty-two and found it a tad silly, but a great soundtrack and charming stars (Duff and Murray) save this one from the "straight to video" file. Yet another rehashing and modernizing of the classic "Cinderella", our heroine must battle all odds (evil stepmother and wicked stepsisters, etc.) to win her "prince". The setting this time however, is modern day high school, complete with the nerds and the Barbie-doll cheerleaders who taunt them. Can the nerdy girl (Duff, completely miscasted) win the most popular boy in school? This movie isn't that bad, but for a better look, please give the John Hughes teenage angst films from the 1980's a look instead.
