Just watched this, the reviews were awful but I really enjoyed it as did my 2 girls! Just wondered if I was alone with this 🤣

We loved it too! Real feel good movie. James Corden was wonderful and we loved the Fairy Godmother. I also thought the message of “no girl needs a man to rescue her” very liberating.

I watched this on the recommendation of my adult DD, she loved it and so did I!
A real feel good film and loved the music Smile

We watched it this afternoon and thought it was v good. Nice take on the end relationship between Cinderella and the prince, and her relationship with the step-mother. Colourful and feel good. Perfect Sunday afternoon viewing!

Yep really enjoyed it, recommended to adult DD and she loved it too.

NotYourCupOfTea · 19/09/2021 20:33

Loved it Grin

MrsDeaconClaybourne · 19/09/2021 20:40

DD 11 and I loved it. Nearly didn't watch because of the reviews but glad we did.

CandyLeBonBon · 19/09/2021 20:42

I loved it too!

Mull · 19/09/2021 20:59

I thought it was great! Loved the songs, esp Material Girl and the Salt n Pepa / White Stripes mash up.

LordOfTheThings · 19/09/2021 21:13

I feel like a real misery then because I hated it. 😂 Started to watch it this afternoon and lasted about 40 minutes, I thought it was awful.

Pashazade · 19/09/2021 21:15

I thought the cast were excellent but sadly wasted on the material used.

TheTurn0fTheScrew · 19/09/2021 21:19

the script was clunky and there won't be an Oscar among the actors but it was good, silly fun. The twist on the message/ending was great for pre-teen girls even if you can see it coming a mile off. And Billy Porter is a goddess in everything.

IdLoveToButCantBeArsed · 19/09/2021 21:30

I thought is was great feel good entertainment, but to quote Dd1, I have 'appalling taste in films and will watch any old rubbish'

TiggeryBear · 19/09/2021 21:38

I really enjoyed it too. Easy watching for a quiet Friday evening in front of the TV with pizza for us & the children.

DilysPhyllis · 19/09/2021 21:39

We enjoyed it, good fun, but I can't bear that jaw wobbling singing that the lead actress was doing Hmm

NoYOUbekind · 19/09/2021 21:40

I loved it too! Good natured fun with a great message, Idina Menzel and Billy Porter are fab and James Corden (for once) didn't make me want to put my foot through the screen.

Autumngoldleaf · 19/09/2021 22:15

We all really enjoyed it.
Light hearted fun

Having said that I don't think anyone has pinned down how fabulous cinderella could be. It's never quite right. The slipper and Rose version is extremely good but too heavy on the Prince at the begging.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 19/09/2021 22:18

It was entirely predictable but me, 6 year old ds, 3 year old dd and my mum really enjoyed it.

toomuchfaster · 19/09/2021 22:21

I thought it was alright but the songs frustrated me as I couldn't enjoy a singalong as they weren't the radio edit. DD (7) loved it but did anyone else notice it's a 12? I was really surprised.

NeverTalksToStrangers · 19/09/2021 22:23

Loved it. My 12yo ds also loved it because he fancies Camilla.

CiaoForNiao · 19/09/2021 22:24

Total cheese fest. Aka shit.

We (17 year old DS and I) loved it.

PileOfBooks · 19/09/2021 22:26

We really loved it!

StarCourt · 19/09/2021 23:01

Watched it last night alone and loved it!

holidaynearlyover · 20/09/2021 22:35

I'm so glad I'm not alone! Love cheesy predictability and some songs to sing along to- I've been playing the soundtrack on Alexa 😳
