It could have been worse. It could have been a musical. If you want a good live action Cinderella, I suggest you try "Ever After", or, if you want a slightly different take on the story, I highly recommend a book. "Witches Abroad" by Terry Pratchett. One of the great failings in this film is the costuming which didn't seem to know where and when it was set. Georgian and medieval rubbed shoulders with modern prom dresses and 40's chic. It would have been interesting if any of the designs were any good. They were not. It's a bit too long and a bit too dark for children, and a little too light in the script for adults. There were lots of Disney references, if you care to watch it repeatedly to find them all. I won't be bothering. Thank goodness for streaming, say I. All I lost was time.
