Ever After: A Cinderella Story (DVD, 1999, Widescreen)

Drew Barrymore is brillant in this movie! Every time I see it my heart screams with passion for this person who is so smart but got the raw end of life handed to her. I always cry during this movie. This takes the Cinderella story to a whole new level, nothing like the Disney version. The acting is WONDERFUL! You never want the movie to end!

A classic approach to a classic feel good story. You know the story, but do you know it from the perspective of someone who was really there? This one follows the classic story of Cinderella, but one ups the annimated version we grew up with. If you have a daughter, grab a blanket and some popcorn and enjoy every girls dream.

This is my favorite movie. It makes you laugh and cry. The setting is beautiful and all the actors are great. I recomend this movie to anyone that has loved!

This is probably my favorite take on cinderella - It comes with no fancy balls, Glass slipers, and deffinetly there arn't any fairy God mothers here!! Angelica Houston plays the most evil, Evil stepmother in the history of movie making... The only this left is to watch it and see if there Tuely is a happily ever after...

I enjoyed this movie. We've all seen the classic Disney story of Cinderella, but Ever After puts a new twist to it. It's funny, and heartwarming at the same time. Definately on my "Must See" list.

The dvd was in great condition...it looked as like it had never been touched...i loved it!!! the quality was way better than the vhs...thanks a lot!

Excellent condition, very happy with purchase! Purchase came immediately in the mail as promised and well wrapped.

the seller was very prompt and delivery was great...dvd was in great conition..the seller was very polite and understood how i wanted to handle this transacion...keep up the great products

I like to see all the options with ebay prices before going to the malls, because I found a lot of things that I can't find in Puerto Rico.

I had an excellent experience with ebay.

THIS IS A GREAT MODERN CINDERELLA TWIST OF THE FAIRY TALE. IT'S ROMANTIC AND REFRESHING. DREW BARRYMORE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO CONNECT WITH THE CHARACTER VERY WELL.

This movie is such a fun twist on the story of Cinderella. It is wonderfully written and acted and has beautiful music. It is a beautiful story. I love it. It is one of my favorite movies.

Drew Barrymore plays Danielle, according to her great-great-great grand-daughter the real inspiration for the story of Cinderella. Just as in the classic fairy tale, Danielle lives with her mean stepmother and stepsisters, after the death of her beloved father. They force her to do all the work. She meets the prince, goes to the ball wearing glass slippers, and runs away before midnight. But there are some big differences. No pumpkin coach, no fairy godmother, and no bibbity-bobbity-boo. This heroine is not meekly obedient. She stays on because she wants to take care of her home and the people who work there, because it makes her feel close to her father, and because she still hopes that somehow she will find approval from the only mother she has ever known. The stepmother, played by Anjelica Houston in her most evil "The Witches" mode, is not going to give it to her. She tells Danielle that she sees her as a pebble in her shoe. All she cares about is making sure that the prince chooses her elder daughter, Marguerite (Megan Dodd), as his bride. She is willing to lie, cheat, and steal to make it happen. Meanwhile, the Prince (Dougray Scott) is not quite Charming. He appears arrogant, but is really just lonely and aimless. His parents want him to marry the princess of Spain to cement a strategic alliance, but he wants to fall in love. He meets Danielle when she's disguised as a courtier to rescue a family servant sold by her stepmother to pay her debts, and he's very taken by Danielle's passion and intellect. The stepmother finds out about their relationship and does her best to thwart it. When the prince finds out that Danielle is not really of noble birth, he's furious at first. But it all ends happily ever after, even without a fairy godmother (though with a little help from Leonardo da Vinci).

This is such a great Cinderella movie!Great acting, time setting is in the 16th century France, with great costumes, makes you feel like your in that time frame when watching.Would recommend to rent or buy!Hope this helps you decide.Thanks for reading!Please click YES at the bottom.:)

A fairy tail comes to life. The story follows the Cinderell story well using
real people and setting making it realistic and not a fairy tale.

It's a classic Cinderella story with a strong feminist twist featuring Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Houston. In this film, if the prince rides in on a white stallion, it's a little too late, but welcomed anyhow.

This is classic Anjelica Houston as the evil stepmother with two evil stepdaughters--one of whom redeems herself near the end. Good against evil, right against wrong, and poetic justice at the end--it's a pleasure all the way around.

If I had seen this in my youth instead of the Cinderella Disney classic, I might have played out my life differently. OK, well, probably not, but show this to your "tweens" and enjoy it yourself, no matter what your age. It is a more realistic fairy tale than most we grew up with and highly entertaining.

This DVD has a very good story line. It is another look at Cinderella's story. I like Drew Barrymore movies!!!!

But I love it. Anjelica Houston is just wickedly mean, and Barrymore is the perfect princess. My favorite scene is where Danielle and Henry (Barrymore and Dougray Scott) get attacked by the gypsies and Danielle gets them out of it. Its great to have it on DVD and watch whenever I'm in that chick-flick mood.
