Okay, so if you're watching this movie, or you're about to, then you have probably seen the first movie, 2004's A Cinderella Story starring Chad Michael Murray and Hilary Duff. This movie has the same premise as its predecessor. It's similar to the Final Destination and Bring It On franchises. Similar stories with occasionally same cast members, but always different and unique. It's not as good as the original, or first in the franchise, but it's still very good.This movie is about Mary. She is a talented dancer with big dreams. She has a horrible stepmother, who treats Mary like a slave. Mary is forbidden to go to the big dance, but she goes anyway. Good for her. She dances with dancing superstar, Joey Parker and like every Cinderella, she drops something on her way out of the ball, so her Prince Charming can later find her. She drops her Zoom, which is basically the less-popular and barely heard of, iPod. Joey needs to find who this girl is. In the end, they do and things really become magical.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10.
... View MoreThis is suppose to be a sequel to the 2004 film A Cinderella Story which is one of my favorite teen Rom Com's since I was like 13 years old so when I heard of this one Another Cinderella Story I was like wow another Cinderella movie so I decided to check it out a few months back. Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez plays Mary a girl who dreams of being a dancer and getting to work for Joey Parker(Andrew Seeley who sang as Zac Efron's character Troy Bolton in HSM I).Of course she lives with her stepmother who is an actress(aka Jane Lynch from the HSM like show Glee) and her two ugly stepsisters. Mary decides to attend dancing lessons which are organized by Joey whom she has a thing for and also a ball. Instead of leaving a shoe she leaves (you think its a mobile phone eh no) as a matter of fact its a stupid Ipod. Joey decides to check out who this girl is by asking a bunch of girls what they have on their play list. If it was lets say the following:Lets dance:Lady gaga Ever Ever After by Carrie Underwood Brick by boring brick:Paramore Come Clean by Hilary Duff that Mary had would he go through the bother of having Joey find her all because of some lame play list. I don't think so.I wanted this movie to be like Cinderella the fairytale that all us women love but no the director or creator for this film decided to use the name Another Cinderella story to fool us and have it like Step Up.The film itself was alright but I felt like watching Step Up over and over again . Selena Gomez was OK,Andrew aka Drew Seeley was cute as Joey with his sexy moves and his singing. The whole film was so predictable. Girl wishes to be a dancer,falls for some cute guy,ends up being with him in the end,wins the dance competion etc etc. If you want my advice then here it is watch Hilary Duff's version instead as its better than this one with Selena Gomez. Plus that irritating song TELL ME SOMETHING was awful. I'll give it a 3/10. Avoid

Yes, the plot is predictable, but it is a Cinderella story, so of course the lead boy and the lead girl fall in love and of course the story has a happy ending. Even so, this version had some interesting twists.For example, the "prince" finds his "princess" earlier than most Cinderella spin-offs out there, leaving room to add a bit of what happens after the Disney-happily-ever-after. Also, Mary (princess) isn't a helpless girl waiting around for her mice friends or her fairy godmother to make her dreams come true (and her dream is not just to marry the prince). Mary is a wonderfully talented dancer (fantastically portrayed by the amazing Selena Gomez) who dreams of getting into the Manhattan Dance Academy, but her evil stepmother (hysterically well done by the always wonderful Jane Lynch) won't have that. So, Mary sneaks into the local dance school and takes her "lessons" on the other side of a one way mirror.This movie has wonderful acting, hilarious scenes, great music, and great dancing. If you're looking for something with depth, you're in the wrong genre. However, if you're looking for something that you can watch to relax and give you a good laugh, this is your movie.
... View MoreThis was a wonderful modern twist on the typical Cinderella story. This story was more about a girl striving to accomplish her dreams with the Cinderella aspect thrown in. Although most people think this is a sequel to A Cinderella Story, it is not. It really is just Another Cinderella Story.The dances moves or scenes were great and I have to say that I loved the performance of New Classic at the end. It is definitely one of my favorite scenes. It was also refreshing that the main characters (Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley) really had a great chemistry on screen.Jane Lynch adds the comical relief to the movie. Her character has her serious moments, but most of the time you are let wondering "what" or at least I was left thinking that during some of her lines or comments, because they were just so far out there. I did enjoy the Baby Got Back Commerical though, that was very funny. It still makes me laugh every time. They couldn't have cast anyone better to play the role of the step mother, in a sense she was the step mother.
