Every one needs that one feel good movie to turn to when everything else seems hopeless. Well folks, heres your movie. Now don’t judge this book by its cover. Sure it has Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray in it and looks to be like any other cheesy Disney movie. But look closer and you will see that the bafoons who usually cast these shows finally got that stick out from up their bums and also casted the comically brilliant Jennifer Coolidge (more commonly known as ‘Stiffler’s Mom’) and Regina King.
This twist on the classic, Cinderella, follows Sam, played by Duff, through the trials and tribulations of high school. She meets Princeton Boy through the internet, because any fairy tale this day in age with out the use of some high tech electronics is just boring. They anonymously chat for days on end sometimes within only a few feet of each other, yet neither of them know who they are talking to. When the Halloween Masquerade Ball finally comes, the two decide to meet. Only Princeton boy is not at all who Sam thought it was going to be. It turns out the cyber affair she has been having has been with the school jock and the “hottie” of the school, Austin Ames, played by Murray.
Now you would think that he would figure out who she is. No…This is one of those, ‘things like this never happen in real life moments’. Sam, the lowly, ooo, my step moms a bitch, ooo, I work at a diner, ooo, I’m a tomboy, shows up to the ball as, you guessed it, Cinderella, and Austin, as Prince Charming, who would of thought.
Everything is going great until midnight when Sams cell phone goes off and she has to get back to the diner. She runs away from Austin dropping her phone on the way out. Now all Austin is left with is a memory and a new cell phone.
Austin doesn’t start figuring things out until he starts getting texts on the phone of things like, ‘come fix the fryer’. (How the phone still has any battery after a week is beyond me!)
So the ‘bitches’ of the school figure out just who Cinderella is and of coarse the two evil step sisters scheme up a plan to make sure that this romance will never be. After sufficiently embarrassing Sam in front of God and everyone, they go about their lives as if nothing happened.

At the big football game, Austin is about to lead his team to victory when out of the corner of his eye he sees his Cinderella leaving the game. So he does what any football player living out his dads dream and not his would do. He runs off the field and into her arms where they kiss for the first time and it makes everything seem right in the world, or at least for the next 10 minutes until the movie is over.
So if your having a bad day, week, month, hell, a bad life, pop in this one and escape to that feel good place inside! Even if it is just for 90 minutes! Everyone deserves a good Disney movie every now and again!
