Sneakerella

I have seen many different takes on the Cinderella story and the most recent version I saw was Cinderella (2021) starring Camila Cabello, which I thought was laughably bad. So, I was not expecting much with this modern twist of the story, but I tried to keep an open mind.

The acting was surprisingly good, like Chosen Jacobs as the main character El he was good in the movie, and I liked the character he plays as an inspired Sneaker designer. I liked the creative Sneaker designs he made, and I liked seeing him create the Sneakers from scratch with his own ideas.

The songs are good, and the dance chorography was good. There are nice looking camera shots of New York or Queens that were nice to look at, and there were nice looking visuals of the Sneaker designs popping off the page of his sketches.

The romance was cute, and I was invested enough in the main story. Some people might like it and some people might not, but I think you can enjoy it for what it is doing and what twist it brings to the Cinderella story.

It was very boring surprisingly. After the trailer, I expected unbelievable movie that was a fun watch, instead it was boring, a one and done watch.

It's about a guys who created "fly" sneakers and the sneaker king needs to find this man, for sneaker cons and his daughter is the royalty looking for the humble ghetto urban sneaker creator.

I cannot believe I wrote the above but yeah.

This was a musical, with awful tuned music and terrible dance scenes. It was bad.

The acting....was terrible, and not "Trolls 2" terrible where you can have a good time, just bad.

Plot was as above, bad and boring. It's like instead of doing something unbelievably god awful that you can have a good time making fun of it, they fell short and created something boring and terrible.

Thee trailer was more hilariously bad than the actual movie.

An updated, musical version of cinderella where slippers are replaced with sneakers and an aspiring artist as the main character. Though it slows in the middle a little, it's an entertaining revamp with heavy forgiveness and belief themes.

The reviews seem very harsh for your average family movie time film. It's not perfect, the music was a little unnecessary, but I'm my opinion it was creative, the visuals such as all the colors made you happy, and for artists it left you wanting to create something yourself. So out of all the cute basic films to put on, and maybe if you had a family of all different ages (like young children, teens, etc), maybe I'd watch it again when I start to forget the elements. Because it's just a fun time.

I don't agree with all the bad reviews. I appreciated this film for the artistry, dance and music. Sure it's a cheesy remix of a classic story, but if you don't expect a fairytale then you won't be disappointed.
