This movie surely shocked me. It was very funny, Chad Micheal Murray was good but Hilary Duff really surprised me with a perfect role for her. Good movie.

This movie was really cool. I mean it wasn't the best movie ever, but I really liked how they turned the classic tale of "Cinderella" into a love story vs. reality thing. It was really cool.

A movie deserving of a perfect score! It's got a great story line, and the Halloween Dance was really cool. A movie worth watching!

Just an average movie based on Cinderella fairy-tale. Blond girl, blond guy... what more could you possibly want? Story is pretty lousy, acting, too. I mean, those two step sisters... please. And, the simple fact most popular guys in school rarely white poems and love mails, unless they want something in return. And the ending... Really? She had to sell a car to go to Princeton? I thought they had money, considering her step mom had like a milion nose jobs, boob jobs & face liftings.
The bright side of this movie is that one sentence, something like "waiting for you is like waiting for a drop of rain the desert, useless & disapointing". That's something I might use someday when I'm dumping someone.

Very cute romantic comedy. I really like Hilary Duff. She and Chad Michael Murray had surprisingly good chemistry. I always like a happy story, and this did a great job of modernizing the tale of Cinderella.

At first, I watched it because Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray were on it, but when I saw it I loved it, they both acted very well.

  The supporting cast's comic abilities smooth over many -- if not all -- of the movie's flaws.

  Deeply, proudly average..."Mean Girls" it's not; a plastic butter knife has more edge. But sometimes it's nice to know your kids won't cut their fingers.

  When not unnecessarily bland, synthetic, and indistinguishable from undistinguished teen TV, A Cinderella Story is unnecessarily coarse and dumbed down, with every character except Sam and Austin subject to perfunctory ridicule.

  The film lacks the guiltily pleasurable panache (and punch) of other recent chickadee flicks posited as protofeminist fairy tales.

  Under the charmless direction of Mark Rosman, the actors seem to be frozen at the rehearsal stage, with the blessed exception of a sublimely funny Jennifer Coolidge as the Botoxed horror of a stepmother.

  Unfortunately, "Cinderella" feels like a pro forma TV movie from the get-go and relies almost entirely on Duff's likability to hold the audience's attention.

  This is simple, lazy storytelling rendered merely functional by appealing leads and the eternal lure of romantic fantasy.

  The story is without an original thought, the characters little more than caricatures (unappealing ones, at that) and the filmmaking so uninspired that it's hard to imagine anyone embracing it with anything more than a shrug and a wonder why they didn't wait to catch it on TV.

  The only intriguing character is the manager of the diner (and de facto fairy godmother), played by Regina King.

  Of all the teen performers out there, Duff has to be the blandest (especially since the Olsens hit the skids).

  Desperately conceived by even the most insipid standards of contemporary teen-queen cinema, A Cinderella Story operates under a rotting pumpkin of a supposition.

  Even for a fairy tale, A Cinderella Story, directed by Mark Rosman from a screenplay by Leigh Dunlap, fails to make sense.
