If the Shoe Fits

I just wanted something easy to watch and this was exactly that. It's not an award winning, never before done, change your view of the world movie, just simple, lighthearted and fun. I look forward to watching it again.

Hurrah I thought Rob Lowe and Jennifer Grey in a movie together and it's a rainy Saturday. Dreadful! Over acting , musical score all over the place and totally unbelievable. So disappointed! What utter trash . Worst Cinderella adaptation ever.

The movie is so poorly done that even though bit is a Cinderella story, the writing and directing leave so much to be desired. The comedy barely worked, the acting should have been better, the actors were doing their jobs, but it didn't work at all. A miss for both Rob Lowe and Jennifer Grey.

Lowe's character asking to sleep with Jennifer's character is kind of sickingly in bad taste and of a different time, more the sixties rather than 1990.

The French cast is inspired as a concept for Haute Couture, but they felt like they were B or C actors that just may not have worked with the director. It was too hard to tell there was so much wrong, it wasn't good overall.

Disappointing, and sad.

If you're looking for great drama and deep meaning, skip this one. But if you want a new twist on a familiar story, try it. Cinderella was never more fun and Jennifer Grey is quite wonderful. Rob Lowe is beautifully self-absorbed. The fairy god-mother is a hoot! Vain roommates, greedy co-workers and sycophants round out a rather non-traditional cast and keep the spirit light. And I always cheer when "Cinderella" takes charge of her own destiny. I enjoy it all over again at each viewing. The look inside the world of the fashion industry and the quest to be one of the beautiful people just adds to the pleasure. It is just plain fun!

This movie, although obviously low in budget and made for T.V, is sweet and entertaining. You find yourself getting caught up in the romantic feel of the film, and although you think Salvitore is a twit, you can't help but want Kelly to land up with him. Rob Lowe also is a plus to this film, and even though Jennifer Grey had already lost her Dirty Dancing teenage gawkiness, you still like her and hate the "ugly sisters". It has a happy ending and an enjoyable plot line, although intensely impossible in many parts, like the rapid changing scenes. You won't be disappointed with this film if your looking for a hunky leading man, a cute, quirky leading lady and a fairytale ending!
