VHS Movie Reviews of Ever After - A Cinderella Story [VHS]

Movie Review: Great Fairy Tale
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Less magic, but more wonder
Summary: 4 Stars

Cinderella stands squarely among the most re-told stories. Dozens of variations exist, but nearly all stay close to the basics: poor but hardworking girl, cruel step-family, and a magical boost into the prince's affections. This time, however, we skip the magic and see a lot of hard work on Cinderella's part, plus a little righteous collusion by the housekeepers still loyal to her and her late father. I like that - instead of magic, we see intelligence and determination; instead of a magical fairy godmother, we're treated to larcenous devotion by the staff that she has treated honorably. The conclusion means that much more when it comes from personal strength (and a strong throwing arm) rather than an effortless wave of a wand.

Huston does her usual spectacular job as wicked stepmother, and Megan Dodds does beautifully as the stepsister you love to hate. Barrymore really makes this movie, though, with just the right Charlie's Angel edge to the dutiful daughter. Not every movie can be one for the ages, though. Still, this one pulls well away from the pack through careful choice of which conventions need to be followed, and which need thorough flouting.

Movie Review: Ever After review
Summary: 5 Stars

This charming quintessential 16th century period piece showcases the talents of Drew Barrymore, Dougray Scott, and Anjelica Huston among others. If you appreciate a european influence you will enjoy this fast moving romance/adventure-drama set amid the French provincial countryside. Heartwarming scenes such as the character Maurice returning to the arms of his fellow-servant family amid the rustic french-farm countryside, or the prince rescuing a valuable painting after falling over a cliff into a river, and of course the gypsies fencing, who also subsequently are invited to the "mask", the costume ball celebrating the future nuptials of the prince. Intrigue, humor, romance, drama and adventure await anyone seeking a story although often told, but not out of date. I enjoyed it not only for these reasons, but also because it is suitable for every member of the family. Excellent introduction by french actress Jeanne Moreau.

Movie Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars

Everything was great! Arrived quickly and exactly as described (maybe a little better even). Played perfect...no disc skips. I would definitely order from this person again.

Movie Review: Ever After DVD Review

A beautiful and charming film with exquisite production and fine acting. George Fenton's excellent score enhances this film. The 2.35:1 DVD is enhanced for 16:9 TVs. The picture and sound are excellent.

Summary of Ever After - A Cinderella Story [VHS]

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 Krabb?) 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
