Cinderella gets a makeover in this live action telling of the famous fairy tale. The big surprise is how well this film actually works.

Andy Tennant, who last directed the lightweight romantic comedy Fools Rush In, directs Drew Barrymore in this beautiful looking romance that gets a big boost from superb performances by Barrymore, Dougray Scott, Jeanne Moreau, and a wickedly funny Anjelica Huston as the evil stepmother.

Fantastic art direction and stunning cinematography only add to this pleasant surprise of a movie. My only complaint with Ever After is that it runs a tad long. Still, this is one enchanting film.

I enjoyed this film quite a bit, but I'd have to say it was a pretty obvious knock-off of Cinderella. Please - if your going to make a movie, give us something original.

As a child, I read fairy tales from the books my father would bring home for me. Cinderella was the first fairy tale I've ever read and the first fairy tale that I've watched. As a teenager, I am a fan of Drew Barrymore. I admire her for her spunk, her courage, and the way she faced the ups and downs of her life... Now, when I heard that she was playing the lead role in a movie which will be based on the Cinderella fairy tale...I was so excited!

EVER AFTER is really one of my favorite movies of all time! Barrymore and Huston combined--Hollywood's ancestors are very, very glad...alright! Plus, Drew and Dougray really have good chemistry on screen. The story is also beautifully crafted even though it is based on a fairy tale. Altogether...it made me go wow! Actually, it wasn't only me...my mother and my siblings really admired the whole movie! =)
