I watched this movie a while ago -- in 2017 but I remember everything vividly. The movie was okay for 2001. Reese Witherspoon is a very good main actor, so the casting was pretty great, although backbone characters lacked depth. My greatest con about this movie was the conclusion that Elle had come to making her lawsuit. Men can keep up with feminine products without being called gay. A straight man can know which heels were last season, just because a man acts girly/feminine, it wouldn't mean he is gay. I need to knock 2 stars off for this. Men can wear dresses, women can be masc. Screw gender roles. :)

so first off the animation was on point for 2016, so ill rate the animation 8.8/10 the plot was pretty cliche, I mean of course the main character is an orphan and there's always a mean blonde girl who is actually influenced by her mother, but then is revealed to be fair and nice. I mean this is literally just barbie princess charm school if you think about it. It was also very confusing because Felicie only practiced - what, 2 weeks? while those other girls have practiced and waited their whole life for this, I mean yes, their mothers didn't die and leave a ballerina pocket watch for their children but that doesn't mean that they haven't practiced with enough love! they tried their whole life just for a girl to beat them over a span of 2 weeks, I know she was "taught" by the best, but it just cant make sense. plot: 4/10 love interests - I hate both of them. its like none of them are good for felicie, one is just runty, the other is stuck up. also very cliche! 1/10 (I know, harsh but I just really don't like it). Couldve had so much potential. character development - honestly, character development is my favourite mart of everything and I just didn't see any in here. it seems like felicie was already perfect - and by that I mean she didn't really have any flaws, she just stayed the same. her teacher (forgot her name) however seemed to open up a lot more so I'm leaving points for her, 6/10 i did like the little things they added - like how the statue of liberty was still under construction at this time, it was fascinating! a tiny problem I had was also that felicie's head was super big - my head is big too, but it felt like her head was twice the size of victors and it scared me because it felt like it would just tip over. i know, I'm just thinking stupidly now. overall, I'm rating the whole movie 6/10 (3/5 if you will) just because I liked SOME things in it, I did feel like it could've been more inclusive and diverse, whether with culture, size (I mean, ALL the girls there were just twigs!) and they were just all flexible, and the only person in the movies with a physical disability was the tutor. its just showing kids that most people they'll meet in their life wont have difficulty with physical and mental problems - either they wont be accepting or they wont feel accepted. we need to educate children more at young ages! On my previous note, it could be better, but it is a pretty old movie.

I can't tell if this movie was meant to be PG or M, some of the dialogue was definitely mature but the whole storyline seemed like a kid's movie. The only good casting they had was the main character. The outfits were plain and I despise what they did to "Drippy"s hair. I don't even know how this movie could be considered a rom-com because I'm sure there are no funny parts or jokes in the movie, and the romance is very fake. Poppy falls in love with a basic, white, entitled, blonde boy because everyone else falls on his feet, though she didn't even get to know him, and he didn't even have a personality, nor did any of Poppy's friends. We never got to actually know them apart from the bathtub scene, and another problem I have is that the show lacked diversity; yes, maybe the show might've had some people of color (though I never saw), they were always in the background.
