Finally, a movie about the black male. We never really get the fairy tales and it is marred here with negative reviews. I love this movie. I love the concept, theme and visuals. If you have not watched, then give it a chance.
This movie to me hits the spot it's intended to hit. Yes it's corny, yes it's cheesy but is it a movie a dad could watch with his kids and enjoy a little for himself? Absolutely.
I went in expecting a movie so bad I might turn it off and was VERY pleasantly surprised. It was cute and fun and sometimes dumb but I've seen way worse. It's a kid movie, so keep that in mind, but it's a kid movie worth watching.
I was a little disappointed by the lack of diversity in the cast. It would have been nice for my children to see themselves represented in some of the characters, but that's sadly not the case with this film. A big step backwards for the cultural melting pot.
More like Aladdin
More like Aladdin. This movie from the beginning shows a male riffraff who meets a princess in disguise. The (riffraff) then shows her around his humble home, where she takes in the common life. He becomes in love with her at first sight. He takes her on a tour of the scenes she never saw before from different heights (views). She is then summoned by the hierarchy and he to his mundane life, she leaves in a limo (chariot). Only thing connecting this to Cinderella is the shoes, not a shoe, well that and the step-brothers instead of sisters, and an overbearing step-parent.
