TV & Movies
Also known as the movie that predicted the college admissions scandal.
Seriously its one of her most iconic roles to date.
Its been over a decade since I last watchedA Cinderella Story.
Now that its on Netflix, Ive taken it upon myself to refresh my memory and reevaluate the movie.
Below, some thoughts I had while rewatchingA Cinderella Storyin 2022.
1
Fiona has the best one-liners.
Shes also the best character inA Cinderella Story.
Whats not to love?
Not only does she have the best lines (from gems like Droughts are for poor people.
You think J.Lo has a brown lawn?
2
They really did Brianna dirty with that massive pool fart.
The size of that gas bubble was the equivalent toat leastthree Chipotle burritos.
Honestly, good for her.
3
Speaking of, Brianna is also an icon.
If Fiona is the most iconic character in the movie, then Brianna is a close second.
Oh, I know!
4
The flip phones are making me nostalgic.
Take me back, hey.
5
The sensitive jock trope is cringe.
Austins entire arc is a little bit of a mess.
The whole football star whos not like other football stars jot down is so tired, even in 2004.
And quoting Tennyson over instant message wont get you any closer to thatHarpersbyline, babe.
6
Also, did this movie predict the college admissions scandal?
As a USC alum, all I can say is: yikes.
7
How did Austin not realize who Cinderella was?
And keep in mind that her disguise was a thin white mask over her eyes.
8
The pseudo-inspirational quotes are sending me.
9
Rhonda deserves a shout out.
I havent brought her up yet, but Rhonda (Regina King) needs recognition as the films MVP.
