Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Awesome Movie
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The intro was a dead giveaway. The blonde girl playing an acoustic guitar with a bunch of butterflies, styled like the aesthetic of her earlier work. I'm guessing they couldn't get the real Taylor Swift, so they got a knockoff instead. This movie is just poorly written and made.
This was the most ridiculous Cinderella story i have ever seen. Firstly all characters could NOT act except from sterling knight in some scenes. I know that she was trying to do a false accent but she was terrible at it and hurt my ears so much i will not recommend this movie because it was a waste of my time and i could of watched a different movie which would of been much better! The Cinderella was very fake and her accent was absolutely terrible. The worst movie i have seen in my entire life and i have seen many movies before. This is the worst Cinderella remake as well. I did not get to the ending because my head started to hurt and i just could not take it anymore so if you want to waste your time go ahead and watch this movie. This does not even deserve a 1!
This movie is mostly memorable because of the music. Not sure who wrote those songs (I believe it is the singer Ashlee Hewitt) but they are what good wholesome songwriting is all about! The movie is kind of cute, somewhat predictable, but every time that young lady picks up that guitar and starts singing this movie jumps about 3 notches. I thought Sterling Knight was good in this and the "mean girls" (Stepsisters) were very entertaining.The supporting cast beyond that was good- and my daughters loved this film - it's good wholesome fun and in today's world that is unique in itself.
Well, even though many Cindrella adaptations has been made, I still can't get enough of it. Always ready to watch more, and this movie was as sweet as the previous ones.The First was definitely the best. It has Hilary Duff as a lead actress which is really pretty but.... does not have that amazing voice that Ashlee Hewitt has.The songs of this movie was the best of all 3 movies by far. It the main reason why I keep watching the movie over and over. They are great in every aspect.... the voice, the tune and the lyrics are indescribable.I love the story too although it wasn't the best of all. Typical Cindrella events in a modern way. So it is a 3rd reason to enjoy the movie.So what is the 2nd reason?!!! Simple.... having Sterling Knight as lead actor. He is such a talented charming person who got you completely in love with him every time he plays his role. He is amazing in SWAC and StarStruck. He was great in 17 again too and I wish he gets the chance to make more different roles. I can't get enough of him.Overall, watching Elle was such a pleasure. Try it, you won't regret it.
