Just what I expected
Fresh and Exciting
Excellent but underrated film
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
...with flavor of old times. the music, the actors, the predictability. good points to a Christmas film looking for give a different image of classic fairy tale. and doing that in succesful manner. because it is one of well crafted films. the presence of Lesley - Ann Down represents one of clues . and , sure, the music and the right actors in the lead roles.
This movie goes quickly through a version of the Cinderella story but with two exceptions. First, the prince finds the wrong sister. And second the movie goes past the usual story. The movie explores what happens after Nicholas gets engaged to Candace. I almost gave up on this movie. Of course Candace is a jerk. But Angie is such a wimp that it's hard to like her either. Unfortunately Emma Rigby overplays the melancholy, subservient, wimpy girl. Sarah Stouffer also overplays the shallow, money-hungry sister. Can anyone be this dumb and spoiled?
The Cinderella fairy tale has aspect which make it charming for past, present and future generations. This is a particularly well done entry into the large number of films in this category. Lesley Ann Down who made some episodes of the British series UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS bright does the same for this charming movie. There is only one stepsister and no glass slipper giving this remake less of the original story line than do most remakes but otherwise this fresh take on an established classic works and entices.
I really enjoyed this Hallmark movie, in fact, I haven't enjoyed a brilliant Hallmark since last year and to be honest, this is the best Christmas movie of 2016 I have ever seen! Emma Rigby was absolutely incredible as Angie and she is so stunning like, of course Peter Porte would like to really marry her haha. I like the fact that this story showed just one person being jealous of "Angie" and thankfully not two. Also it was a cousin this time, it wasn't like Cinderella with the two stepsisters being jealous of her. A fabulous romance film and brilliant actor choice. I give this movie a rating of 9/10, it deserves it!
