    Advantages Advantages A modern day intrepretation of a timeless story.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Purists may object, but they shouldnt.

    > > Barrymore's Danielle is described by some critics as a "Cinderella for feminists." I will not submit to that for reasons of my own, but Drew gives a stunning performance, and even more so, because I respected her more and more as the film progresses, particularly when she becomes a tough heroine and thinking about others more than herself, which is one of the character's best qualities. She refuses to let her Stepmother and Marguerritte get the best of her and I think her most powerful moment is when she is sold to a slimy trader (Richard O'Brien) who wants to not only own her but use her ... more

    Advantages Advantages Drew Barrymore, Magical, Deep, Intellegent, Funny

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ummmm

    Okay so at first sound, a new interpretation of that old classic Cinderella under whelms. It instantly congers up images of cheesy, girly fluff, with no depth and second rate actors, definitely style over substance. But I am very pleased to say that Ever After is one of the most charming, well acted, beautifully subtle and pleasant family movies that I have ever seen. With huge amounts of heart and of cause the ever brilliant and talented Drew Barrymore. We first see ageing women, speaking to those master story tellers the brother Grimm. A wonderful portrait hanging on the wall, she proceeds ... more

    Advantages Advantages A beautifully accomplished movie

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None whatsoever

    Usual I would run a mile before anyone can get me to watch a period movie. Period in the sense, that people dress up in period costumes and attempt to speak "olde English". I am constantly on the lookout for telltale signs of modern day technology in such films, such as a plane flying above, someone wearing a digital watch or even a ringing mobile phone ... you get my drift. But in recent days, I have became a fan of Pride & Prejudice, and so a little open-minded about such films and decided to view EverAfter on DVD. Synopsis The classic Cinderella story with a difference. The usual evil ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great performances, fairytale like charm to the film

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Yet another Drew Barrymore masterpiece. I have to say right at the start that the reason why, according to me, this film was such an acclaim was mostly due to Drew Barrymore's outstanding performance in Ever After. She is one actress who will never cease to amaze me. The film was enchanting, romantic and of an excellent quality. I loved absolutely everything about it; the acting, the plot and the fairytale-like aspect that cast a wonderful charm on the production from start to end. This is one movie that is granted to please any fans of romantic movies like me. Plot: This is the story of the ... more
