I had absolutely no intention of watching this film...ever...in my entire life. I mean, how many "Cinderella" stories can one take in their lifetime. But I gotta tell ya, you can open your heart up to one more. This is it. A wonderful reworking of the tale in a way that is plausable and understandable. Everyone in this film was wonderful! The Stepsisters were just..human! The Stepmother was really a Stepmother and not an overblown characture, The Prince was an a-hole but what man at any point can't be, the fairy god-person was unorthodoxed, and our little Cinderella was FAR from meek! I loved this version more than "Pretty Woman". I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed with happened to the stepmother! This film is just a big surprise. I recommend it highly for viewing over and over again for hopeless romantics, for those who wish to see a mis-matched class love story, for fantasy, just for fun. Good Re-Working, Good Show!

This is a rather shallow movie. If you like intelligent well thought out movies, don't go see this. Drew's character was well done but Dougray's Henry was really annoying. His constant oozing over Danielle was disgusting. There are better movies out there.

What a great adaptation of the story by the Grimm Brothers. Drew Barrymore, one of my favourite actresses impresses me with her wit and innocence in this role. Dougray! O Gosh! This man is a hunk and looks so good in the role of the confused, and always charming, Prince. This is one of my all time favourites. "I shall not yield!" Indeed! I'll end by adding... "...you have more conviction in one memory than i have in my entire being..." Let us all DROOOOOL!

Ever After is essentially the story of Cinderella brought to real life in a manner which up until the time it was released, I hadn't seen anything like it. It's not to be confused with a recent telling of the famed fairy called entitled 'A Cinderella story' starring that girl from Lizzie Mcguire ( LOL! I know her real name but I'm just being mean! LOL!) Anyhow, this wonderfully enchanting film stars Drew Barrymore (with a very weird but cute Frenchy-British accent) as the Cinderella character. But she isn't your average push over, this Cinderella kicks major arse and take no prisoners either. She actually rescues her prince at one point as opposed to the usual vice versa we're used to seeing. Dougray Scott plays prince charming and Angelica Houston is the wicked step-mother, and look for Melanie Lynskey is a scene stealing role as one of the unusually good step-sisters.

By far my favorite retelling of Cinderella. The plot and acting are perfection. Drew Barrymore is iconic and surprisingly perfect for the role. 10/10 will be rewatching this movie regularly till I die.

Excellent family film for young and old alike. An excellent female role model --strong, kind, fearless, loyal & persevering.

Well-made romance set in the Renaissance era which puts a post-feminist spin on the popular Cinderella tale. Danielle de Barbarac is the spunky, tomboyish daughter of a Frenchman in the 16th century who prepares for a new family when he weds the Baroness (Huston), a snooty blue blood with two pampered daughters of her own. Tragic circumstances abound, Danielle grows into a strong-willed young woman with tremendous wit and passion that charms the restive Prince of France (Scott). We all know the story, but it's vividly recreated and sweet, has good lines (with some welcomed modern-day anachronisms) and sublime acting, led by a ravishing Barrymore as the strong, opinionated heroine. ***
