Ever After is not the usual Cinderella story.There is no pumpkins or fairy godmothers in this version.The version is more belivable because of this fact.

If you have veiwed the trailer for this film,you probably were not impressed by it.Well,the film is nothing like the trailer.

Drew Barrymore gives a very strong performance as the very sad,lonley,and tormented Danielle.She gives a beauty an a kindness to the usual Cinderella character.Danielle is a more developed character than Cinderella was.

Anjelica Huston plays the evil stepmother to a T.She is always scheming something in every scene.She is definatly the most evil stepmother in film history.She once is asked by Danielle if she ever loved her and she responds"How can someone love a pebble in their shoe?" after Danielle has done nothing but be kind.

Dougray Scott plays prince Henry.He and Drew Barrymore have a great chemistry together.I loved watching them in scenes together.He is the most charming prince in film history.He is very good in his role.

Overall,the absence of a fairy godmother and magic disapointed me.I give it a good 9/10.Cheek it out!

A very lovely movie with Drew Barrymore ideally cast as the Cinderella like role and Dougray Scott every bit Barrymore's equal. And Angelica Houston is faboulas as the wicked stepmother. Enchanting and lovely movie

One of the 20 worst movies ever made. Not only does it butcher one of the greatest fairy tales of all-time, it manages to be boring and have some of the worst production values ever. The acting, especially from Scott and Barrymore, is incredibly awful. This movie is a waste of time if you want to watch something interesting, smart, or entertaining.

2/10
