"You might imagine her father's death by earthquake is a terrible trial, but, this being a romantic teen comedy, the trauma is fleeting."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2.5/4
"Does justice to its well-known source material while putting a pleasant spin on it. It's better than one may be lead to expect, which is perhaps the best compliment of all."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

0/4
"If some films are made to order, the market-researched A Cinderella Story has the stretch marks to prove it."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

D+
"Airy and blithely romantic at first, but very quickly descends into unintentional absurdity and stays there.... It's pre-fab 'fun' at its most mirthless."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

F
"A bibbidy- bobbidy- bomb... more pumpkin than gilded coach, more smelly sneaker than glass slipper."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/5
"A Cinderella Story misfires as a comedy and offers no fresh twists or clever turns on this ancient fairy tale."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

4/10
"Rather than anything original or humorous or, heaven forbid, romantic developing from this fable, we get only tired clichés and worn-out stereotypes."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"People who wear glass slippers shouldn't go around kicking the crap out of fairytales."  Light Views  John Larsen

C
"Chad Michael Murray could be the next Johnny Depp, or he could be the next Luke Perry – only time will tell."  FilmStew.com  Larry Carroll

B+
"The efforts to find Cinderella and struggles with Fiona take longer than they should, but there is an old-fashioned happily ever after ending for everyone who deserves one. "  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

0.5/5
"At worst, it's an insult even to the intelligence of 12-year olds."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

"A sloppy, idiotic mess that demonstrates nothing but contempt for anyone deluded enough to actually watch it."  Critic Doctor  Peter Sobczynski

2/5
"With a few hilarious exceptions, the jokes are bland and unfunny, and the fairy tale reinventions aren't creative or witty enough."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

4/10
"In this awkward, updated fairy tale, the shallow, bland script drowns in so many cliches that it becomes tedious, except for the most devoted "Lizzie McGuire" fans."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger
