A cute, charming and funny update of Disney classic
A Cinderella Story (2004) is a very cute/charming and sometimes funny teenage update of the 1950s classic Disney cartoon. Hilary Duff is good in the lead role, and so is her love interest Chad Michael Murray. Jennifer Coolidge was wonderfully cast as the wicked stepmother. Also Regina King is one of my favorite parts of the whole movie, she has some hilarious one liners and pieces of dialogue. The movie isn't something to hold up as one of the greatest movies ever made, but it's sweet, enjoyable and fun. I'd suggest this one as a good fit for a family movie night. The mix between the sweet endearing moments and the funny moments are nice and balanced, and the humor isn't 100% slapstick, which I was thankful for because that really isn't that funny to me and it gets old and tiresome. 8/10 overall for A Cinderella Story.
