It's not a terrible movie, just a disappointingly pleasant one.
This is simple, lazy storytelling rendered merely functional by appealing leads and the eternal lure of romantic fantasy.

This is my childhood memory, some things of the movie is unforgettable for me.
Report
The story is without an original thought, the characters little more than caricatures (unappealing ones, at that) and the filmmaking so uninspired that it's hard to imagine anyone embracing it with anything more than a shrug and a wonder why they didn't wait to catch it on TV.
Having defused the fairy tale, first-time screenwriter Leigh Dunlap pads this out to 96 minutes with stale high school politics and the usual claptrap about believing in yourself.
From its uninspiring title -- and certain turnoff for young males -- to its limp slapstick and uneven acting, A Cinderella Story arrives with a dull thud.
The sort of entertainment that makes you happy to be grown up and able to avoid the current onslaught of trite, lazy, unimaginative films aimed at tween-agers.
It is horrible. Time curls up and dies while this Hilary Duff vehicle wheels its weary, conventional way along.
A sweetly romantic update on the classic fairy tale that’s done justice through an inspirational message that includes a funny and wonderfully told love story which the critics once again have cruelly misjudged with their heartless attitude toward this underrated romantic teen film for the ages.
Report
A Harmless and silly teen riff, nobody being able to recognize her in her 'mas' basically ruins the back half of the movie. Just use a better mask!
