Itβs crazy how I end up watching Cinderella in different version despite my unfavorable opinion of her. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997) lured me into watching it because of my favorite actor Victor Garber and Whoopi Goldberg who made me burst to laughter after barely saying anything. Itβs a bonus that Whitney Houston is the fairy godmother.
I also love that this an interracial version. Though I must admit that I skip a lot of the singing part because it makes me cringe. But singing aside, this is my favorite out of all Cinderella I’ve seen so far because it was even explained why she wanted to stay and how she admitted wanting to leave.
I never seen the actor for the prince charming but heβs cute. I liked his acting too.
Though the film became very short because as mentioned I skip nearly all the musical part. But this film got one of the best lines.
Warning spoiler belowβ¦
Back off now.
Iβm serious.
Ok since youβre that eager Iβll write them now.
βThatβs the problem with most people. They dream about what the want to do instead of really doing it.β
– Fairy godmother
Lines from Lionel (the butler) and stepmother
Stepmother: Surely, thereβs no need to pretend. I know that you felt a certain something between us.
Lionel: You know I honestly wish there was something between us
Stepmother: Really?
Lionel: Yes⦠a continent.
Lines from the king and queen. Talking about their son, the prince.
Queen: So many beautiful girls. Heβll find the one heβs looking for tonight, Iβm sure of it.
King: And if he doesnβt?
Queen: This ball will never end.
That’s it! I really recommend this film to anyone. If you like musical even better. If you don’t skip the music. You’ll still get the story.
Sounds funny and nice but not into musical or Cinderella story hahah Sorry Jess π Thank you for sharing this review <3
Me too! But it’s so strange that I seem to keep winding up reading or watching the film. But after a lot of thinking, I finally know why.
There something I’m waiting for in all of these Cinderella remake, and since I can’t see “it”, I’ll be writing it myself.
this is a very good idea but please don’t ruin it more ππ

inserting laugh of evil

Nice review. Everyone likes that story. I liked the Lily james version and a modern cinderalla selena gomez version too πβ¨ In selenagomez version i love all the songsβΊοΈ
I haven’t seen Lily James version or Selena’s Cinderella because I’m a bit tire of Cinderella… but I saw the trailer for Selena, and I must admit, I’m curious now.
πβ¨ u will love it. I HOPEβΊοΈ
I believe I have not watch this movie. I love the version of Lily James. I just love her. π
Thanks reading Weng. I haven’t seen Lily James version because as I’ve mention I’m a bit tired of Cinderella and I don’t like the characters to start singing things they want to say.
You’re welcome, Jess! Hahaha! I can almost see your face now. My daughter and I love any musical movies.
Wait, you mean you don’t like music? Or the singing in there is terrible? π€
What? Music is one of the best thing in life! π The singing isn’t terrible too. I just don’t like musical film that much. You know, them singing the words they want to say instead of talking it.
Yeah, now I can feel you πππππ
