The whole project is hermetically sealed, predictable from the moment Cabello tries to play Ella as Beauty and the Beast’s Belle as if she is attempting a TikTok challenge. The entire cast gels with Cannon’s signature manic sense of humor, to maximum comic effect. (“Me did… it’s what I done!”) Galitzine is charmingly arrogant as a harmless bro, Brosnan is absolutely hysterical as the narcissistic king, and Porter was clearly born to play a fairy godmother. Cabello proves she’s a capable comedic actor, particularly when she’s fibbing her way through high society, or stumbling over her words when a queen asks where she got her dress.

No one can say that performers don’t give it their all. Bouncing from musical number to musical number, each scene showcases the incredible costume work but provides little substance or depth. Structurally, Cannon composes the film almost like a lovingly curated stream of similarly styled TikToks. This is a film for teenage girls, offering them a message of girl-boss feminism, and it makes no excuses about it. If she can land some foreign clientele at the ball and secure her own financial future, who needs solidarity or sisterhood?Ĭannon takes the classic fable and reimagines it for a generation who grew up on a mixed diet of her Pitch Perfect screenplays and the Disney Channel’s The Descendants franchise. Its protagonist recognises the limitations of her fairytale world – it’s verboten for women to own businesses – yet only works to better her own life. No number of momentous Idina Menzel showstoppers (including ‘Material Girl’, for some reason) can save a tone-deaf script.Ĭinderella is sorely lacking in feminist credentials. This Cinderella’s timing seems right on the money, and is a harmless confection (nothing more, nothing less) for the target audience and certainly Cabello fans, who get to see this charming performer branch out into new challenges, and meet them head on.īilly Porter is unsurprisingly entertaining, but his ‘Fab G’ - this film’s spin on the Fairy Godmother - relies on shallow empowerment slogans (“Yassss future queen,” he says, snapping his fingers as Cinderella smirks and twirls) instead of genuine magic.

It is interesting to see this new interpretation at this time, especially considering recent events in the Royal Family with Harry and Meagan and a rethinking of priorities in that regard. It lacks magic and elegance, the magnetic qualities that made the 1997 Rodgers and Hammerstein reboot, for example, irresistible.

Here are some choice quotes from critics' reviews:Īs promising as that premise sounds, Cinderella buckles under the weight of its intentions, and not even its formidable cast - Menzel, Billy Porter, Minnie Driver and Pierce Brosnan - can save it. The only cast member who has had reviewers significantly differing is Cabello, who is surprising some in her feature film acting debut, and leaving others cold.

The cast seems to have gotten off scot-free, with many agreeing that there's a full roster of strong performers.

Now that critics have finally been let loose on the film, fans can have a glimpse as to what they might be able to expect from Cinderella. One thing critics can agree on is that the movie is a superficial affair, though they seem to be split on whether that makes the film a fun turn-your-brain-off romp or leaves it a hollow experience.

It will be using a Knight's Tale style approach to the song choice, which includes covers of pop hits like Madonna's 'Material Girl,' Janet Jackson's 'Rhythm Nation,' and Queen's 'Somebody to Love' alongside original tracks. Cinderella is a modernized musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale.
