This complex tale is told with great buoyancy and wit thanks to the splendid performances.

In this modern retelling of the well-known fable, she is one princess-in-waiting who does not need rescuing by any knight in shining armor. [31 Jul 1998, Pg. N.47]

Ever After is an empowering take on the Cinderella story while showcasing a surprisingly realistic portrayal of the classic tale.

An amazing Cinderella remake that I would suggest to anyone with children or even adults as it has awe inspiring messages and amazing acting. Also considered by some movie goers and home owners as the best retelling of Cinderella, period. Many would say Ever After easily matched if not overwhelmed the original Disney movie in both originality and plot.

Once upon a time there was a feisty young woman who didn't sit around twiddling her pretty thumbs and singing "Someday My Prince Will Come." That's the revisionist spin on Cinderella, and it twirls very nicely.

Tennant takes this familiar material and crafts a charming, captivating motion picture.

Their blossoming love is thwarted at every opportunity by wicked stepmother Anjelica Huston, whose practical motive -- she wants her own daughter to become queen -- is part of an unusually nuanced characterization.

Not an altogether unsuccessful adaptation of the timeless Cinderella story, it certainly scores well in terms of lavish scenery, snappy repartee and brightly-coloured mayhem.

It's... directed by Andy Tennant ("It Takes Two") with all the flair of an episode of "7th Heaven", making it that much more worth avoiding.

A cute and sweet interpretation of the Cinderella story. Drew Barrymore does an adequate job at an English accent (despite the story being set in France).
