A Cinderella Story is a teen movie full of romance.It stars Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray.
Sam (Hilary Duff) montgomery lived with her widowed dad.He gets remarried when Sam was eight but is killed in an earthquake. That means Sam is forced to live with her stepmother Fiona who is obsessed with plastic surgery and her two daughters Brianna and Gabriella.
Sam's dad owned a diner but since her step-mother took it over she's changed into a hotspot and forces sam to work there as a diner girl.
Sam is an A straight student so in a way is a considered a geek.At school she gets grief from the popular girls , but unaware to them , Sam has a secret relationship through instant messaging with a secret admirer , Austin(Chad Michael Murray). Although they don't know who each other is , he wants to take Sam to the Princeton.
Austin invites Sam to go to the halloween dance with him even though he has a girlfriend.But their relationship is on the rocks.Austin really wants to know who Sam is and that's why he invites her.
On the night of the dance , Sam's stepmother forces her to work until the diner closer which is typical because Sam wants to go out and they don't close until 12am.
Sam is upset but her friends Carter and Rhonda and the other diner workers help Sam get ready for the dance.She goes as cinderella!
When she gets to the dance she meets Austin in the middle of the dance floor.They dance and play '10 questions' but Sam does not reveal her identity.
They go outside to dance in the gazebo when Sam's phone goes off at 11:45pm which means she has to go home before her step mother finds out that she left the diner early and attended the dance.When running sam drops her cell phone.Austin picks it up.He wants to see Sam again.
When Sam returns to school after the weekend , Austin is doing a search - a search to find his cinderella! Sam is shy that she has revealed herself to Austin.
Sam is upset to discover that her wicked step sisters have found her emails to Austin on her laptop.They end up fighting in the carwash at the garage where Austin works.They have printed the emails out in order to show everyone including Austin and his on-off girlfriend Shelby who is also the head cheerleader at school.The evil stepsisters tell Shelby that Sam stole Austin off her on purpose.Shelby is furious and soo humiliates Sam in front of the whole school , whilst at a soccer match. She reveals to Austin Sam's identity.
In the end Sam has enough of her horrible step family and leaves them - she then goes to live with her best friend , and she continues to dat Austin - out in the open!
A great movie if you enjoyed the cinderella story! It's a good teen romance - good for sleepovers and also included a bit of comedy!
I give this movie a 9/10!
Hope this review helps!

Cinderella never had it this bad. A twisted and hilarious update of the classic fairy tale ... more
- high school senior Sam (Hilary Duff) lives at the beck and call of her self-obsessed step-mother Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge) and her sinfully wicked step-sisters...
Advantages: Chad Michael Murray's looks Disadvantages: Predictable, boring, Hilary Duff acting like herself yet again, poor comedy, really unoriginal, idea just wasn’t executed well, lacklustre script, bad direction, terrible soundtrack mainly because Duff sings the majority of the songs.
