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.
