do you believe she danced that much better?
Added 11/25/2009
Selena Gomez dances pretty well, but not a lot better
than the others here. The story in which her aunt uses
her niece as a live in maid while she is going to high school
has "ethnic" content in that Mary is half "Latino"
and her aunt and her cousins are "white bread".
This movie has that made for dizzy feel about it
with some pop culture thrown ( break dancing, rap, hip-hop) in for appearances.
Her aunt thew popular singer / dancer calls Mary "chicken legs"
because she admittedly has very thin legs for a dancer.
The teen heart throb is taken as "prince charming"
and her Microsoft iPod ( a zune) is her glass slipper,
so why didn't they use an iPod which is more popular and recognizable?
I just wasn't convinced that she was that good a dancer
to win this end competition, but she had to have
an happy ending.

Cute film, but very much "been there, done that"
Added 11/8/2009
This is a cute movie, but it has the feeling of "been there, done that." Like a lot of Cinderella remakes, it follows the same general storyline of the original. This version is a good remake of those remakes, but doesn't really add anything original or exciting. If you want a movie to watch with your kids, this is a decent bet. But it loses a star for lack of originality.

Disney Crap for the already brainwashed Hanna-Montanna clone
Added 10/25/2009
The worst teen movie I have ever watched. Badly written, horrendous acting and typical plot. Is this all that kids wanna be? Famous, sining and dancing? Watch something better unless you are into the fake world of make-believe cinderella stories.

Here's "Something You Don't Know"...This Is A Charming Film
Added 9/17/2009
For the most part, I consider the Disney Channel (and all its programming and outlets) to be a bit too "in your face" and loud in terms of shows, acting, promotions, and pretty much everything else. When one of "their own" become stars, they are (at least for a short time) what the world is talking about. Yet, every once in awhile, there are shows (e.g. Drake and Josh, Wizards of Waverly Place) and actors (e.g. Josh Peck, Selena Gomez) that I can legitimately enjoy with my younger siblings. "Another Cinderella Story" is one of those shows.
Starring Gomez, at what probably will amount to the height of her "Wizards" fame, this film channels the classic children's story "Cinderella" and gives it a culturally relevant twist. When a young girl (Gomez) lucks into an exclusive dance with the school's most handsome boy (Andrew Seeley) but then must rush home to please her overbearing stepmother (anything sound familiar yet?!), an I-Pod (ala slipper) is the only link between their special moment. Thus, the remainder of the film centers on both boy and girl finding each other and building a relationship.
This movie is clearly superior to its Hilary Duff-starring predecessor in the areas of acting, energy, and excitement:
Acting-wise, Gomez can hold her own with anyone, while Seeley, rather surprisingly, almost steals the show with his screen time. Obviously hired to be the "leading hunk", Seeley turns in a genuine performance. The supporting cast is also just stereotypically goofy enough to be considered "true Disney", but also too stereotypical to really offend anyone (in the High School Musical mold).
In terms of energy and excitement, the fact that the film is set to a back-drop of hip-hop dancing automatically gives it a bit of spunk and flash. Both Gomez and Seeley (or their stunt doubles...whatever the case may be) can really rip it up on the dance floor, only adding to the chemistry between them.
Thus, if you have children (or younger siblings) that adore pretty much all Disney fare, fear not...for this is a film that can be enjoyed by you as well! Though not an instant classic by any means, it is a solid little fun film that will have you singing its tunes and dancing to its catchy beats long after you push the "STOP" button.
