Description:
A 'modern' young woman of the 16th century, Danielle (Barrymore) is as independent and wise as she is beautiful and kind. Against remarkable odds, she stands up to her scheming stepmother (Huston) and works miracles on the lives of everyone around her, including the crown prince of France (Dougray Scott)!Now you can relive this captivating, contemporary retelling of the classic fairytale.
Amazon.com:
Take away the Fairy Godmother, and what have you got left from the Cinderella fable? The story of a girl for whom a bad stroke of luck is no match for her internal strength and purity of heart. Drew Barrymore plays Cinderella's alleged inspiration, Danielle, in this romantic drama that purports to tell the 'facts' behind the Grimm brothers' story. One of three daughters of a man (Jeroen Krabbé) who dies and leaves her fate in the hands of a conniving stepmother (Anjelica Huston), Danielle is cast into the lowly role of a servant. Meanwhile, her sisters are evaluated as possible mates for a French prince (Dougray Scott), but he's far more intrigued with Danielle's intelligence and beauty--not to mention her way with a sword and fist. Directed by Andy Tennant (who directed Barrymore in TV's The Amy Fisher Story), Ever After has that rare ability to win the heart and mind of a viewer simply by being committed to its own innocence, particularly where Barrymore's luminous performance is concerned. A contemporary take on an old, virtually forgotten Hollywood convention--the costume adventure with middling artistic ambition but real audience appeal--Ever After is a surprisingly delightful film. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Ever After
I love this version of Cinderella. The acting is superb and its a great fairy tale.
Rating: - Indulge in this!
Ever After - A Cinderella Story is a sweet period piece starring Drew Barrymore. I saw this movie in the theatre when it was released in 1998 and I loved every minute of it. Barrymore brings warmth and sensitivity to the role and Anjelica Huston is just plain nasty as her wicked stepmother (just how I like a villian to be played). This Cinderella Story has a little bit of a twist, I highly recommend purchasing this gorgeous chick flick, enjoy!
Rating:  - Wonderful Customer Service!
One of the first things this company did was send me a personal e-mail thanking me for my purchase and giving me the UPS tracking number for my item. The book come promptly and securely. I would look to them to buy more books.
Rating:  - tiny problem
It's a bit hard to classify this movie: it's basically a big-budget, dramatic retelling of the Cinderella story - minus the fairy godmothers or any supernatural element - aimed at young girls who fantasize about being princesses.
There are many aspects of the film that are well-done, but the major problem with it is the lead actress, Drew Barrymore. It's not that she can't act or doesn't look the part; it's her private life, the lurid details of which are now public knowledge (e.g., ... Read More
