In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Aubrey Hackett
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

NOTE: I have watched this movie a lot. I can't even count how many times.I really love this movie. This is the best adaptation of Cinderella for me (it's even better than the original one for me). I love how to story panned out. It's more realistic and there was a relationship even before the ball. Plus, there was justice in the end.Danielle is an amazing character. She's not passive like the typical Cinderella. You would really cheer for her throughout the movie. I love that she played by Drew Barrymore. Also, I really like the historical setting of the movie. It gave the movie a much more realistic tone. SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Yes!! Absolutely!!

The fairytale movie Ever After you get to experience the early 1500s. It takes place in France that they understand when they say King of France. It's easy to believe that it is England, it takes you in for they speak British English. The film is an adventure film based on a fairy tale.The main character in the movie named Danielle de Barbarac that is Cinderella. Danielle gets to withstand many problems during the movie. It disrupted the problem is love problem of Henry. It becomes difficult to meet Henry that she is lying about her is noble that is much finer than the valet as she really is. She also lying about her name is Nicole de Lancret who is her mother's name. Since it is not acceptable that a prince marries a servant during the time it is set in, it becomes a problem when Henry and his parents discovers that Danielle's servant. The problem gets solved when Henry understands that he has power over himself because he is the prince and Fragrance X there fore Danielle if she wants to marry him. Danielle say yes and it will be a big wedding and and everyone will be happy, except Rodmilla and stepsisters who may start working as a connoisseur that Danielle was before.Cinderella's father was married to Cinderella's stepmother Rodmilla the Gent but died when he had a heart attack. She is very cruel to Danielle and treats her like a servant and not a daughter or someone in the family. Rodmilla also has two daughters named Marguerite and Jacqueline de Ghent who is very spoiled. Danielle's best friend named Gustave. They've been best friends since bard omen when Danielle often used to wrestle him in the mud so they both became dirty and wet. Gustave always helps Dannielle when she is in trouble and make her happy when she's sad.Danielle's inner qualities is that she's kind and think about how others feel. Her external qualities is that she is beautiful that makes Prince Henry immediately falls in love with her.Prince Henry is a typical teenager who has no plans to become king. He wants to explore the world outside the castle walls and can accommodate therefore often away, but a stolen horse and return to the castle when he feels like it. Henry is also the person in the film that goes through the biggest change of all. At the beginning of the film is Henry is not someone who thinks of others but only himself and the people he lives with. When he meets Danielle who is thinking very much about how others feel so Henry can not understand quite how she thinks. But the more they get hit Dannielle him think '' right ''. At the end of the film, he has become a very wise prince who thinks of others and not just yourself.My favorite person in the film is Leonardo Da Vinci for his help and is fun in the way he behaves. You also get to see another side of Leonardo Da Vinci, much more fun than what he thinks when he sees and his paintings in books and online.The film's ending is that Danielle has been captured by Le Pieu. Because her father taught her swordsmanship, she uses a sword, forcing Le Pieu to give her the key to his castle so she can get out of there. The film's end was as I expected so I did not get any special feeling. But the music during the movie was well suited to what happened so you got the feeling that you were there when it took place.Because there is always something new happening so it was never so bored in the movie that made the movie was better than expected. I would recommend the movie for those who want to see some other versions of the original films. What age you are, so suits the film. For adults, it can be fun to see a version of the movie they have seen so many times and for children it can fit to the holders of love, princesses, princes and castles. The message of the film would be that love wins over everything and that you should never give up.By: Axel Svensson

If I could give this movie a million stars I would! This is the best Cinderella story ever (besides the Disney one). It's very realistic but still a fairy tale. Drew Barrymore is an excellent actress and Angelica Houston is just perfect. My husband watched it for the first time when we were just dating and he thought it was really good. I think he might be a little tired of it now though since I watch it all the time. I haven't really met anyone who doesn't like this movie. It's hard not to like it. It's a romantic movie with comedy and action. When Henry goes to rescue Danielle from that bad guy (I can never remember his name) and she basically rescued herself LOL I love it!

The well known familiar fairy tale is bought into Renaissance Italy. Her evil stepmother Rodmilla (Anjelica Huston) has reduced Danielle (Drew Barrymore) to little more than a maid after the death of her father. Marguerite (Megan Dodds) is the horrible stepsister, and Jacqueline (Melanie Lynskey) is nice one. Prince Henry (Dougray Scott) can't stand his home, and runs into Danielle one day as well as Leonardo da Vinci (Patrick Godfrey) rescuing his Mona Lisa painting. Leonardo would be the fairy godmother.Drew Barrymore is doing a weird British accent in a costume drama taking place in 16th century Italy. There are castles and horses but little grandeur. Although it's a nice idea, it doesn't have any tension or magic. It's not gritty enough to be real nor beautiful enough to be fanciful. The story itself is good triumphing over evil just like the fairy tale.
