Cinderella

I went to the movies this afternoon to see Cinderella, which just opened yesterday. I LOVED it! It reminded me a little of Drew Barrymore's Ever After, which I also loved. Anyway, if you're thinking about seeing Cinderella, I recommend it. I thought it was very sweet.

I brought my five year old Grandaughter yesterday. She was disappointed it wasn't animated. Grandma thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm glad you liked it. I thought it was terrific.

I saw it last night with my husband, we both liked it, only complaint was the kids in the next section who kept running up and down the stairs

Oh, no

I don't go to the movies often anymore because it's so expensive and can be ruined by people there. I've often sat in front of someone who kicks the back of my seat often, or older couples who talk all the way through it. I don't know how people put up with all that.

I'm going to give it another try for Marigold Hotel 2, I loved the first one so much.

I'm sorry you had to deal with unruly kids.

There were 4 or 5 boys who looked to be 8 or so, I am not sure why the Mom thought they would like the movie at all

Just a suggestion Noel. I usually go in the afternoon during the week. It's usually almost empty and I pretty much have my pick of seats. I'm always able to sit by myself with nobody too close.

I saw it with my niece. We both loved it. I especially liked Cate Blanchett's evil stepmother. And wasn't the frozen short of Anna's birthday adorable?

I did go at 2:00 pm and theatre was pretty empty except for adults.

I am going to see it on Monday. Looking forward to it. I like movies where you just lose yourself in fantasy. Thanks so much for the review. I am excited now.

I was really lucky. I went by myself and there were a lot of children and they were all well behaved. I was impressed.

I plan to see it soon.

The actress who plays Ella is the same one who plays Rose on Downton Abbey. She looks perfect for the role of Ella.

I saw it yesterday and loved it. So gorgeous visually, and not a false note anywhere in the performances. Perfectly cast, brilliantly directed and expertly acted - an absolute treasure.

And lessons learned: "Be kind and have courage." Also, "We ladies must help one another."

I've heard all good things about the movie. Also, (adults) try to go to movies when the kids are in school. Wait, that sounds bad.........What I mean is that if you intend to go with adults (and not with children), try to .......... oh, never mind. lol. Regardless, nice to know that it's a movie that I will enjoy!

My husband and I went to see it today...loved the movie...it was beautifully shot as well. I was surprised the audience was mostly adults and about 1/4 of the audience were men.

Went to the 10:15 pm showing last night with DH downtown Chicago (magnificent mile). The theater was fairly empty and we had reserved seating and recliner chairs, I'm spoiled forever. A very impressive cast including actors from Downtown Abbey and Game of Thrones. We both enjoyed it and the costumes were great.

I find her odd looking, not attractive.

Did anyone see it on an IMAX screen? Just wondering how it was.

Saw Cinderella this afternoon with my mom...it was cute, sweet, the scenery and effects were awesome...but mom and I both agree that Ella and the Prince were a bit too sappy.
