What to Know

Critics Consensus

This singalong-worthy Cinderella sprinkles some modern fairy dust on the oft-told tale, but flat performances and clunky dialogue make watching often feel like a chore.

This new take on a classic tale is a worthy addition to the long list of Cinderella adaptations.

Cannon has something to say, and I do think there's value in the messages she's working overtime to impart. But the various pieces of this musical never join together in harmony.

Rated: 1.5/4

Cinderella is oddly depressing in just how forced its joviality is, and how flimsily it's executed.

Rated: 2/5

Keith & the Movies

It’s a musical without good songs. It’s a comedy that isn’t funny. It’s a romance that lacks spark. The biggest casualty is Cabello who has some noticeable charm and even a little swagger.

Rated: 1/5

If the trailer and a mouse-costumed James Corden’s aggressive pelvic thrusting at Los Angeles drivers weren’t red flags, let’s assure you: Camila Cabello’s Cinderella is banana-ooh-na-nas.

Rated: 1.5/5

Is it bad? Absolutely. But it's also delirious camp. (There's also something very entertaining about how bad it is).

Rated: 2.5/5

Lucy K This one one of those movies that's so close to being so good, but then it had these moments that are so strange and irrelevant that it throws the whole thing off. The performances from Idina Menzel and Camila Cabello were wonderful though Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Cary R Campy and wonderful 💕 just enjoy the magic and color and fun and songs stop being so cynical for a day. Watch this movie with the heart of a child and you will love it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Luis Francisco H So much resentment against men, and Disney just wants to show that they are 'modern,' but they forget the original version. If they want to show a gender perspective, they should create new things, not ruin the classics. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Nancy-Alexia T I personally really liked it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Spooky M Horrible film. The writing leaves much to be desired and is incredibly weak. Awful mixing on vocals (a choir featured in the movie was entirely flat); the film has no reason to exist. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Arjun P Sorry,Not a good remake. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
