In her debut theatrical performance, Cabello is charming and handles the script, particularly the throwaway lines that lovingly mock the genre, with aplomb. Read full review

While this version of Cinderella likely won’t top anyone’s list of all-time best adaptations, it’s a winking, glittering family comedy that’s cohesive in tone and confident in what it wants to be. And mostly it just wants to be flashy, toe-tapping karaoke. Read full review

Cinderella has far less substance than [Cannon’s] other features, ultimately making this a one-time, forgettable watch. Read full review

Cinderella is given more independence, but at what cost? An irritating script ruins the sincere magic of the beloved story – strong music isn’t fabulous enough to preserve the DNA of a classic. Read full review

Among the countless iterations the story has weathered through the ages, this Cinderella (streaming on Amazon), starring Camila Cabello as the orphaned maiden, is forgettable. It is oddly transfixing, though, as a study in the semiotics of the modernized fairy tale. Read full review

With an overload of winking, Kay Cannon’s Cinderella displays a contemptuous attitude toward fairy tales in general. Read full review

I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. There. That just about sums it up. Read full review

If you don't love musicals I can see why people would rate this poorly but if you do it's a great version of Cinderella. My whole family loved it and we have been playing the soundtrack all weekend.

A heartwarming and fun story to fill your homes with a little joy during covid. Camila and Idina had great chemistry on screen. A touch of magic which we could all use right now

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a beautiful and magical fairy tale! Camila work really hard in her first character as an actress, she embrace Ella so well and made we fall in love for her and Billy and FAB G was incredible and when he sings with Ella and gets his magical powers, it's just phenomenal as always, Billy it's such a good actor. Idina plays a stepmother that it's totally out of this world in this new era of Cinderella she's not longer bad and they explained why she was mean with Cinderella which totally bring me a vibe of Maleficent and Cruella, explaining why they're like that and i would love to see maybe a next movie?! i don't know, i just know that i loved this one.… Expand

Because of that I lowered my standards before watching it but still I didnt like this film at all.
Sure this movie has some good acting and some songs were nicely acted and shown but story and characters were so cringy and annoying that I was bored for most of time.
Camilla did fine acting job but nothing great .
Rest of cast was annoying except some rear cases where some where funny at some points.
Story was not interesting to me since I saw different versions of it including Selena Gomez one...
So this film was just not right pick to me.… Expand
