Ever After: A Cinderella Story

Every year I hear about [and watch, of course] a new version of Cinderella Story, never disappointed. But somehow I never came to cross the best version of it: Ever After: A Cinderella Story is definitely my favorite. Even though the movie is a bit old [made in 1998 - I know, I'm not updated], I find him very funny and sweet.

The plot is very interesting: it begins with the Grimm brothers visiting the Grand Dame of France who is skeptical about the source of the Grimm’s version of the Cinderella story. One thing led to another, and soon enough the real story begins…

In the 16th century, Danielle de Barbarac is a servant at her own house, but surprisingly she’s doesn’t mind and she’s definitely not the victim. In fact, she stands up against her stepmother, and against all the odds – she’s the one who helps the prince and saves his life. When Danielle does receive help, it comes not from a “fairy godmother,” but from no-one other than Leonardo da Vinci.

All in all – great movie: the sound, the acting….everything is perfect! Very recommended!

Starring Drew Barrymore (!!!) as Cinderella, Anjelica Huston as the mean step mother and Dougray Scott as the charming prince.
