Review of Cinderella (2013) by Scott W — 19 Jun 2015
This is a decent re-do of the familiar story that hits all of the right notes. It starts out a bit slow, then picks up steam once Cinderella meets the prince. I liked how they handled the ball and the race to get home by midnight.
Lily James is beautiful and does a serviceable job as Cinderella - I also thought she looked just like a young Jessica Lange. What keeps me from giving it a higher score is that there's nothing really new here.
You know everything that's going to happen so it almost begs the question of why they made the movie in the first place. Oh and if you want to hear Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo you have to stick around to the end of the credits.
