Funny and sweet update of the Cinderella story.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 21, 2010

'A Cinderella Story' makes so many good chocies, you wish you could like it more than you do.

I look at "Cinderella Story" as I would look at early Elvis films - this is a teen movie made for the sheer enjoyment of her fans.

The result is pure pumpkin, though fans of squeaky-clean, helium-voiced Hilary Duff might fall under its sickly sweet spell.
