I always enjoy this movie except for two parts that inevitably spoil it somewhat. 1) Danielle is not really a servant as her stepmother and stepsisters are treated as some kind of gentry. Therefore, when she is so-called “exposed” in front of the prince, why does she just toss away her spunkiness and instead roll over and say that yes she is just a servant. 2) The prince needs to grovel a LOT more. Actually he just needs to grove period. Heh. Of course he apologizes nicely and she is so kind in return. But there needs to be groveling for me to balance his former actions.

I absolutely loved this movie. Agree with you all the way. The two main characters are perfect but so is the ensemble. It is funny but poignant and I’m glad that we get a glance at the stepmother’s vulnerability/pain. Bravo.

In reply to Dalia. Its truly a classic. This film never gets old. Its unabashedly romantic, surprisingly emotional and fun without being silly. I agree. Its completely worth seeing.

I LOVE this version of Cinderella! It's just so good! It's a period drama and fairytale all in one. And the best, NO magic included! I would rather that Leonardo Da Vinci help me than some fairy godmother. Also, it's such a lovely love story.

Oh, this is the only version of Cinderella worth seeing! I love how it incorporates all the lore of the fairy tale without resorting to magic and every single actor is so good in this. I mean it’s funny, it makes you cry, it is so real and believable. I’ve been besotted with this movie since it was made. My wedding dress was either Danielle’s Ballgown or Rose’s from Titanic. In the end Rose won, because the details on this were crazy, but still, I love all the costumes… This movie is perfection.
