"Ever After" is a wonderful, imaginative romance. It's a classic Cinderella tale with a simple storyline, set in 16th century France, and revolves around an independent young woman named Danielle. Although she works as a servant for her stepmother, Danielle is anything but weak and subservient. She is passionate and strong-willed, qualities that lead her to the French court, dressed as a wealthy courtier to save a man's life. There she meets Henry, the handsome Prince, who is jaded by his suffocating royal lifestyle. He is fascinated by Danielle and her thirst for life and adventure, and they fall deeply in love -- but the Baroness would do anything to keep them apart.

Drew Barrymore turns in a stunning performance as Danielle, and delivers her lines feelingly. Her emotions are raw and realistic, and she gives the character charm, wit, and beauty.

Anjelica Huston brings a third dimension to her role as the stepmother, who is usually just portrayed as a flat character, evil and hateful. In this movie you see that she is a loving mother who would do anything to make her own daughter Queen, and that she has a reason to resent Danielle.

The character of the handsome Prince is also usually very flat and typical, but Dougray Scott brought a refreshingly human characteristic to him, because he too has his struggles and conflicts.

The script, like the actors, was strong for a romantic fairy tale, and the cinematography was gorgeous. There was one scene in which Danielle is floating on her back in the river, a dreamy and breathtaking moment that describes her carefree nature perfectly. The music composed by George Fenton is lovely - I recommend the soundtrack for this movie too, especially "Walking On Water."

A wonderful movie for all lovers of romance! 10/10
