This is one of our FAVORITE movies. The beginning scene where the father dies might need some pre-discussion with younger children.

I always liked this movie and my daughter, who has loved the Cinderella story since she was little, likes it too. It shows Danielle as a strong intelligent woman who rises above a bad situation. One scene that bothered me -- when the stepmother beats Danielle and the next scene shows her stepsister bathing the wounds on her back and she couldn't walk well.My daughter missed it, but it seemed unnecessary domestic violence as the stepmother was already sufficiently mean. Otherwise it's a very smart retelling of a very familiar story. It even has Danielle saving the prince in one scene!

This movie is very cute and heartwarming.However,this movie is not PG, it's actually PG-13. Why? Because it has a fair amount of sexual innuendo. mostly resulting from an evil stepsister and the prince. He stares at her and says she "looks well" while the camera focuses in on her chest. She also invites him to "look" on several occasions. there is also one s-word. however, this movie is very mild for a PG-13 and overall very good.

This movie was cast well. Drew Barrymore does a wonderful job as Danielle, and the rest of the cast does well in their roles. The stepmother is heartless and the older stepsister is selfish in very believable ways. I like how the younger stepsister sees through them. The prince's wedding with the Spanish princess left me laughing. The ball left me in tears. I rated this movie for kids 8 and up not because of any issues but because a younger kid might find it a little boring.

I hated the movie. i'm sorry, but it was just so boring!!! and im a senior citizen...so this was beyond boring. it had a lot of lovey-dovey rubbish in it...and if i get the chance to talk to the director, you do not want to see me with a rake!!! i payed good money to watch a good movie...and look what i got! boo! i hated the movie, and i POSITIVELY DISCOURAGE anyone who wants to come out of the movie looking alive.thank-you for listening to my review!

My 4 yo woke up early from his nap while I was watching this on TV recently. He wanted to watch and I figured I'd let him until something objectionable showed up. Nothing ever did. I wouldn't recommend it for little ones but there's certainly nothing wrong with them being in the room while an older sib enjoys. I don't recommend it b/c I just don't think it would appeal to them. I love how Cinderella is a strong woman with solid values - not a one sided Disney character.

I watched it myself and loved it. After I bought the DVD, I wondered if my two daughters, now 7 and 4, would enjoy it as well. They love it and consider it one of their favorites. A big plus for me, having girls, is that this Cinderella has her own values and is always true to herself. I also enjoyed the addition of Leonardo da Vinci into the mix. I can deal with the fighting sequences, i.e. mostly swordplay, as it is not gratuitous. The review mentioned an expletive, but, honestly, we missed it. I really didn't have to worry about my then-3-year-old watching this movie at all. Love it!

This is a great movie that really supprised me. I thought it would be another romantic mush but it actually entertained me. I would put this on a must see list.

Beautiful film with 5 star cast and top rate screenplay!

This is a very lovely movie. I first saw this with my Grandmother on video and recently bought it for myself on DVD as a result! I think the PG rating should stay where it is because of some violence, an extremely sad death and one sware word. The plot is magnificent and way better than the original disney cinderella. All the actors are brilliant and well chosen. Love this movie heaps!

I love it! It's so great! The amount of sexuality in it is very small, The only amount is when one stepsister tries to be all sexy, but even this is switched to a good thing becuase the prince is turned off by her. He, just like all other men want to CHASE, not BE CHASED.

great movie!!!

I absoulutley love this movie!! it was so good and held my attention the entire time. i would sya anyone 7 or older should be able to see this awesoem mive that is harmless.

Great movie, would recommend an edited version. There was a few insinuations of a eunuch, and there was a couple of strong swear-words. Get edited!!!

You know, so many of the usual fairt tale stories are re-done. I cant even count how many Cinderella stories there are. But I must say that this one is excelent! It have that same girl-power charm but the whole setting and all the caracters are so different. For example, the fairy godmother is Leonardo Davinci! This is a movie that you need to see.

This is a great movie...except for some things. First, the main character lies to the prince to maintain appearances of nobility once she falls in love (and some before). The stepmother hates the heroine and sells her as property. The prince rejects the heroine once he finds out she is not really nobility, but takes her back eventually. Incorporates the fact that true love will prevail over all. It would help, however, to remind younger children not to go around looking for true love... I know from a babysitting-gone-wrong experience.
