Dissapointing for people who have read the book.

AAAUGH!!!!! this movie is terrible!especially if you loved the book.i don't see how the author of the book let them make that bad of a movie!I mean, the prince char fan club. Seriously.

Giants, ogres, and even fairies! All of them are packed into this wonderful fairy-tale. And Anne Hathaway does a wonderful job as girl whose troubled with a spell her fairy god-mother cast on her when she was a baby.

I love this movie and I am a teenageer!!LOL

I loved this movie. Anne Hathaway is a fantastic actor in this. She definatly shows perserverance and also shows that you can do anything. I looove this movie. Definatly on for ages 5 and up.

I love this movie so much, i own it on DVD and watch it countless times! It may be very different from the book but I don't think that's a bad thing, it's good they decided to make the movie a little original! The genres is a mix of a musical, fantasy, action, adventure, comedy and romance all into one excellent and entertaining movie! The chemistry between Prince Char and Ella is lovely and there are so many moments that made me smile, laugh and cry. I'm a little concerned about the kissing scene between Ella and Prince Char, sweet, but too full on for little kids to see in my opinion. Over all though, 5 stars! If I could give it twenty stars out of twenty I would without a second thought! I reccomend buying the movie and listening to the soundtrack too!

LOVED IT

The first time I watched this movie I was very disappointed, because I have been a fan of the book since I was little and there's not much left of the book in this film. It's a shame they decided to edit out so many things, and felt compelled to add a villian when in the original story the curse was villian enough. Many of the book's best parts (the Cinderella masquerade ball, Ella's father actually playing a part in the book's plotline, the wedding sequence) are missing. But on re-watching it, I think it has its own merits. It's still clever and funny. Anne Hathaway is ideal and you never lose interest watching her as with other fairytale heroines. Kids of all ages will love it, and will appeal to both sexes thanks to equal amounts romance and action. There is some violence, but nothing kids over 8 can't handle. In short, it's a pretty good family film as long you don't expect it to have much to do with the book.

For a girl movie, it was actually okay. For anyone who likes fantasy.
