Well, as you can probably see, we didn't think too highly of this movie. Mom picked it up at the library as a last resort source of entertainment, and that's exactly what it turned out to be. Drew Barrymore and some guy named Dougray Something-Or-Another did quite a terrible performance; Drew simpering an idealistic Cinderella named Danielle with a terribly fake British accent, and Mr. Dougray stomping around as an angsty Prince Charming Prince of France. Why France?

The screenplay had few very entertaining lines, the rest a muddle of over adjectified babble. A good addition to the Cinderella story, however, was that one of the stepsisters was not evil. The younger of the two was instead a ever-hungry girl who was obviously not the brightest, and she was definitely entertaining. Otherwise there was the weird appearance of Leonardo Da Vinci (a little old man with a funny white cap), the stupid evil stepmother who is mostly evil but sometimes not?

And that's that.
