If you love hallmark Christmas movies (or if it's your guilty pleasure) you've come to the right place.
But oh my lord, the auto tune!!!!! Abusive

Okay so like it's your average cliche Cinderella story but I still liked it--except for the auto tune in every song oh my gosh. Like I'm sure she can actually sing I think? Why do they have so much auto tune?
It supposed to be a musical film, but every song (I mean it), EVERY song has autotune that make your ears bleed. My advice - don't waste your time.

Just another cinderella story but at least with a unique approach being she is trying to be a singer. Its worth watching and a 6/10 seems fair.

Don't skip this on account of the low average. Some people hate it, true, but it's no worse than many of the Cinderella remakes of the past 20 years and it's definitely better than some.
In this version, the Cinderella character has the requisite evil stepmother & stepsisters, but she's also got a career plan that keeps her working toward her own goals. Also, she gives the 'handsome prince' a no-nonsense privilege-check when he asks her to do something that might cost her job. How often does a Cinderella character get to call out a rich boy without either agonizing over it or getting punished for it?
The musical numbers aren't particularly riveting although the comic turns of dancing elves are quite enjoyable.
Definitely watchable with the fam.

This movie was hilarious! not because it was Genuinely funny, but because it was done so poorly, the scripting and acting was poorly done, the singing was way over auto tuned, the dance Chorography was very stiff and childlike, overall if I could rate this a zero I would, but since I can't I will rate this a 1 cause at least it made me laugh.😂

So yeah, it's another one of modern teen-Cinderella stories but this time not only with singing and dancing, but also with Christmas involved. Of course it's predictable and full of cliches, but what do you expect? It's pleasant, light and generally ok, even though the leads don't have much screentime together and the chemistry is so so, some of the secondary characters are overacting (as always in Cinderella movies). But well, if know what you're getting yourself into, or you're a minor then you might like it, and there's nothing wrong with it.

This was not a good movie. It was bad scripting and bad acting. There would be so many ways to make it better. I most say I loved the dog though.

This lovely Christmas Cinderella story got very low marks but I really liked it and I thought the lead character was beautiful and a voice was awesome! I highly recommend this one to anybody who likes good Christmas stories.
As far as Christmas movies go, the acting was quite good! The step family are hilariously nasty and the two main characters relatable in a sickeningly sweet way. Wouldn't watch again, but worth a go!

This movie is pleasantly enjoyable, fun Christmas fluff, until they start a song. The autotune goes so far that it makes me wonder if a toddler got their hands on the equipment without anyone noticing until it hit the screen. It's a shame, too, because Laura Marano can definitely sing. It only ever got worse when they tried to pretend the characters were ACTUALLY singing. She's not an absolutely fantastic lip-syncer to start with, let alone when they're playing music that comes nowhere near something an actual human sounds like. Worth watching while making Christmas cookies though.
I liked it. Its clean unlike most movies now days and the music was cute and cheesy!! It was a Christmas movie all around. Not the best one of the group but I feel it's better than the last one for sure .

I only managed 15 minutes then I turned this off. Acting was bad and the singing and dance routines were horrendous.

This is another addition to the Cinderella fad that keeps spinning endlessly. Sometimes it's worse than others. This movie felt like it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. And I didn't from the beginning to the credits rolling.
It's a Christmas addition that I'm not sure worked given when the movie premiered on Netflix. But the leads are hilarious as they try to navigate the script and dialogue. A bit off kilter considering it's predecessors. But it is a comedy of sorts. It's definitely up there with a guilty pleasures viewing that you don't want to admit you like. Watch for a good laugh.

This movie is super cute! I bought it on a whim when I was shopping and I actually really enjoyed it. If you want to watch a sweet and simple holiday movie, this would be a good one to try. There were moments where it was a little much but honestly it wasn't too bad. Laura Marano and Greg Sulkin were pretty good and seemed to have pretty good chemistry while acting. I think it's worth a watch :)

This movie was terrible. The singing is awful at best, and the autotune is hard to listen to. However, my main concern is for the dog. At the end when the step-mother and sisters are getting their comeuppance, and Cinderella is being rescued, no one ever explains what happened to the dog. It kept me up all night. But hey, at least our Cinderella got her happily every after?
You will have seen this plot 50x if not more and they do the plot justice the acting's good. Obvious in its work but not to shabby as a film.

Character development great. Cared about the protagonists. Hated the villains. Couldn't wait to see everyone get their comeuppance.

Just awful. Script is horrible, acting is disastrous, directing was a whole crap show and a half. Also, what in the this gods given world was that autotuned, bland singing scene at the end of the movie? Would give it 0 stars if i could.

I think it was a cute over all movie.
Musical which was fun.
I just wish they didn't over process the vocals.
It sounded like sad robots trying to sing.
But I wish that they would have made it a little more natural.
