Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella description
More is not necessarily better. A glitzy Hollywood cast and a big budget did not improve the wonderful 1957 teleplay (or its equally charming 1964 remake) upon which this version is based. This is partly because Brandy, cast in the title role, cannot act. Not helping matters are Whoopi Goldberg as the prince's mother and Jason Alexander as his valet. T ... review details

Cute Movie

| It was a little confusing to have so many characters of different races all combined together into families. I've nothing against interracial relationships whatsoever, its just that I was confused as to how a Caucasian king and a black queen ended up with an Asian son. But this is a fairy tale and fairy tales are fantasies that don't make sense and aren't supposed to. Besides, if Disney made an all black Cinderella, chances are no one would have seen or bought it (have you noticed that they've never made an animated fairy/hero tale centered around black people? Lion King doesn't count - those were lions not people). Anyway, this was a fun movie. Brandy was a wonderfully, beautiful Cinderella. Her prince was handsome. Her stepmother was appropriately evil and her stepsisters sufficiently obnoxious. Whoopie was the Whoopie I love and after seeing this movie I still can't stand Jason Alexander. For me there were only two weak links in this movie. The worst character was Whitney Houston as the fairy godmother. I just wanted to rip her cape or whatever off of her because her twirling around with it was so annoying. And she came off as just too full of herself to really be caring about Cinderella. The second weakness was the Broadway type song they added for Bernadette Peters to sing. It was a totally different style of song and didn't fit with the other songs in the movie. It seemed as though it was only put in the film to showcase Bernadette's Broadway singing style. |
