not just "another teen movie"
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING! As soon as you saw the name Hilary duff you thought, "oh s*** not another teen movie". Well don't worry because this one is ACTUALLY GOOD. The lead part of Sam actually suits Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray ain't half bad himself.
The only downer about this movie is its a bit too obvious what's gonna happen. Girl goes to ball, sees prince, likes him, 12 o'clock comes, she legs it, losses shoe, he finds her and they all live HAPPILY EVER AFTER! Roughly speaking this is what happens in the movie, what WOULD have been nice is if sam thinks prince charming (who in this case is popular boy charming)is a dud and goes out with his best friend instead. Now that would have been a smack in the face huh? Don't get me wrong, the classic characters where the same with personalities but different names. The Evil stepmother is played by Jennifer Coolidge who's obsessed with being just like star socialists and the airhead step sisters who want to be associated with the popular kids at school.
But because it IS a Cinderella story it ends the way Cinderella does. Now there aren't any fairy godmothers around or mystical magic but it is a truly beautiful tale, i nearly almost found myself shedding a tear for the poor girl. It could have been better, but it just about hit the spot. THUMBS UP FOR THIS MOVIE!
