Elle: A Modern Cinderella Tale (2010)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Excellent but underrated film

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Based on the Cinderella tale adapted to the modern time is a family movie, and (little) girls will probably like it. The story itself is a little bit predictable but that's OK with this kind of movie. Elle (Ashlee Hewitt) is a girl who wants to be a singer and lives with her uncle, the owner of a small independent record label, after her parents died.The songs in the movie are not bad and Elle sings pretty well. Ashlee Hewitt's scenes seem awkward at times, but she does her best to keep it under control.Technically, the film looks average. Anyway, if you are a fan of teen movies and music, and Cinderella kind of stories, you should definitely see Elle, a modern Cinderella.

This was the most ridiculous Cinderella story i have ever seen. Firstly all characters could NOT act except from sterling knight in some scenes. I know that she was trying to do a false accent but she was terrible at it and hurt my ears so much i will not recommend this movie because it was a waste of my time and i could of watched a different movie which would of been much better! The Cinderella was very fake and her accent was absolutely terrible. The worst movie i have seen in my entire life and i have seen many movies before. This is the worst Cinderella remake as well. I did not get to the ending because my head started to hurt and i just could not take it anymore so if you want to waste your time go ahead and watch this movie. This does not even deserve a 1!

I watched this movie because I happened to be a fan of Sterling Knight, and I really enjoy Cinderella re-makes. Even though we know what's going to happen in most of the Cinderella based plots... this movie was just awful. 'Cinderella' was a horrible and awkward character, and she just couldn't act. I didn't find any of the scenes funny, and the antagonists/'Step-sisters' were terrible actress'; they weren't funny, they were't mean, and they also happened to be out of sync when they did that annoying clicking thing with their fingers. Honestly, I had my hopes quite high for this, because it's supposed to be 'modern' and its come out lately. But it was just horrible; the graphics were terrible in the music videos and even WORSE on the DVD cover. It seems like they got someone from the 80's to do the cover-art; it's VERY unattractive to the eye. I wasn't even going to watch it, until I thought that 'maybe it would be a better movie'; Oh boy, was I wrong.When she was auditioning for that college, and they were showing how she took the news of her parents dying; she just stumbled forward... it wasn't even believable.TERRIBLE movie. I suggest you don't watch it. I wasted an hour and a half of my life. Please don't waste yours.

I loved this movie very much. It was really sweet and the songs were amazing.I can't deny that it was pretty predictable but still enjoyable.I have been a fond of Sterling Knight for very long time now. He is a great actor who always plays his roles perfectly. And he is one of the main reasons why I love Sonny with a Chance. When I saw him in Starstruck I admired him even more. He is going to be the next big Hollywood star who I will always look forward to enjoy his work.Ashlee Hewitt is another strong beautiful voice who needs to be given more chances to show the world her real talent.The movie is not that comedy by the way but still there were some good funny moments and other heartwarming ones. Finally, I had so much fun watching the movie and hearing its songs. I think I would love to watch it again and again anytime.
