Michael O'Sullivan

In this modern retelling of the well-known fable, she is one princess-in-waiting who does not need rescuing by any knight in shining armor. [31 Jul 1998, Pg. N.47]

James Berardinelli

Tennant takes this familiar material and crafts a charming, captivating motion picture. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Keith Phipps

A cute and sweet interpretation of the Cinderella story. Drew Barrymore does an adequate job at an English accent (despite the story being set in France).
