I wish I had time to write more but having just finished this wonderful movie, after almost not watching it due to such horrible public reviews, I had to at least jump on and give it 5 stars!
Watch it with your daughters, and your sons. Best remake in Cinderella. Wonderful music, creative choreography, clever, funny, romantic in the FULL LIFE kind of way not girl rescued by handsome prince kind of romantic.
I HIGHLY recommend it!! Everyone does not need to love it like I did, but I fear that many with such negative reviews are just afraid to look at what the world can really be because they are afraid to mix that kind of message if strength and freedom, truth and perspective with Hollywood. I say, keep bringing it on! And if someone wants to do that theme and thinks they can do it better, please do. Let's keep doing this more in many ways!!
LOVED THIS MUSICAL.
