Another Cinderella Story - Guide Review
The storyline and star power in this movie (starring Selena Gomez from Wizards of Waverly Place and Drew Seeley of High School Musical Live fame) will absolutely attract hopeless romantics ages 6-14. The Disney stars may grab the attention of younger kids, but this film is not a Disney movie. Parents may be surprised by the level of sensuality displayed by the characters in numerous scenes. The story follows the basic premise of Cinderella -- deserving girl living with wicked stepmother and jealous stepsisters gets her dream and her prince -- but it is definitely for an older age set than the animated picture.
-Another Cinderella Story is a 2008 romantic comedy directed by Damon Santostefano and starring Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley. The film was released direct-to-DVD by Warner Premiere on September 16, 2008.[1] It was released on DVD in the UK on October 27, 2008.[2] It is a thematic sequel to the 2004 film A Cinderella Story, reprising the same themes and situations but not containing any characters from the earlier movie.-The movie was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada throughout January 2008,[3] and was ranked as the number one cable movie in several key demographics when aired on the ABC Family on January 19, 2009. The soundtrack reached number eight on Billboard's soundtrack chart, with one single charting at position 58 on the Billboard Hot 100. It won the 2010 Writers Guild of America Award for Children's script-long form or special[4]
This movie is a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale in a modern setting, with Mary Santiago (Selena Gomez), a high school student with ambitions of becoming a dancer, taking the role of Cinderella; Tami (Jessica Parker Kennedy) Mary's only best friend as her fairy godmother. Dominique Blatt (Jane Lynch) taking the role of the stepmother; Britt (Emily Perkins) and Bree (Katharine Isabelle) as the two stepsisters; and Joey Parker, (Drew Seeley) now a famous celebrity that has returned to school for his senior year and to remember why he started dancing, as the prince. A school dance substitutes for the ball, with the role of the glass slipper filled by a Zune.
