Ever After: A Cinderella Story (Movie Reaction)

I'm so happy that I could watch this movie again with you as you watch it for the first time. Thank you again, so much for another fantastic movie reaction!!! I absolutely love, love, love this movie!!! This role for Drew Barrymore is by far her best role she has ever played. I love her as Danielle, because she's strong and fierce, and her chemistry with Dougray Scott (Prince Henry) is so beautiful. I love him in this movie too, so much. I also love Jacqueline... the good stepsister, Leonardo Da Vinci, the King and Queen, Gustoff, the three other servants in the household, and of course... I love Angelica Huston as the Evil Stepmother. She's so evil and horrible, but I love to hate her. Angelica plays the Baroness so well. The music is absolutely so beautiful too, as is the story, the costumes, and all of the sets and scenery. This movie is beautiful all throughout and tragic as well. Also... I love that this story isn't the traditional Cinderella story we've seen and read so many times. But that it feels so real and believable too. Like I said above... I love Danielle and Henry together. And I love how this movie both begins and ends with the Brothers Grimm and Danielle's great great great granddaughter, the present day Queen telling the true story behind Cinderella. I wish this movie was based on a true story, but even though it isn't, this story makes it feel like it could have been. I love this about Ever After, and because it's so different from any other version of Cinderella we've ever had before. My favorite scenes was the fight scene between Henry, Danielle, and the gypsies in the woods, especially when Danielle carries Henry off across her shoulders to save him. So hilarious. Also... I love the moment between Jacqueline and Henry's Captain at the ball upon seeing them both dressed as horses and hearing them make horse noises upon meeting and becoming drawn to one another at the buffet table. And I love Henry's proposal to Danielle in the end. And in the end... I love seeing Jacqueline stick up for herself to her mother as she tells her she is only there for the food. So fabulous! And lastly... seeing the Baroness and Marguerite get what they deserve in the end after Danielle saves their lives before seeing them becoming servants as Danielle was. It is absolutely satisfying. Not only are they stripped from their titles and are made servants, but they are absolutely humiliated in front of the entire kingdom and its rulers. Poetic justice for sure. Marvelous! :) Thank you so much once again!!!! I am so happy you loved this movie like I love it too. Ever After is one of my all time favorite movies. Just so, so beautiful, and beautifully acted. As always... I enjoy your reactions very much. You're just so enjoyable to watch and to listen to. I love your commentaries. And I'm happy this movie even made you cry, in spite of the hour. I can't wait for many more movie reactions. Until then, my friend... Stay healthy, and be happy! :) Sincerely, Heidi
