Trivia:

As depicted in the film, the real Leonardo da Vinci kept the Mona Lisa with him all the time until his death.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Various words, such as "philanthropist" and "management," that did not exist at the time are used. It can be assumed we are hearing a modern English translation of what the characters were actually saying.

Quotes:

Queen Marie:Baroness De Ghent, you are forthwith stripped of your title, and you and your horrible daughter are to be shipped to the Americas on the next available boat... Unless by some miracle, someone here will speak for you.
[Rodmilla begins looking desperately at the other nobles, they look back coldly]
Rodmilla:[nervously] There seem to be quite a few people out of town...
Danielle:I will speak for her.
[Rodmilla turns around and sees Danielle dressed like a Princess]
Danielle:She is, after all, my stepmother.
Rodmilla:[kneels] Your Highness.
Henry:Marguerite, I don't believe you've met... my wife.
Danielle:[to Rodmilla, smiling] I want you to know that I will forget you after this moment, and never think of you again. But you, I am quite certain, will think about me every single day for the rest of your life.
Rodmilla:And how long might that be?

Best Ever!

To me this was the best remake of a fairytale ever! And I don't care if it's because I'm a girl and this is girlie material- I still loved it! Drew Barrymore personified this interpretation of Cinderella like no other. Angelica Houston was a kick ass evil stepmother. The combination of these two dynamite stars in these two classic roles created an unequaled magic. And of course let's not forget the freakishly handsome Dougray Scott who played Prince Henry. He graced the screen with a hypnotic charm that challenges any prince any day. This is my all time favourite movie. I can watch it over and over again. And I challenge any man to watch this film and understand what romance is really all about.
