Description: The 2021 adaptation of *Cinderella* presents a modern twist on the beloved fairy tale, offering a fresh take despite the story’s countless retellings. Directed by Kay Cannon, known for her work on the comedy *Blockers*, the film injects vibrancy and charm into the familiar narrative.
The plot centers on Cinderella, portrayed by singer Camila Cabello in her acting debut, who aspires to become a dressmaker despite the restrictive traditions of her small village. Her journey intertwines with that of Prince Robert, played by Nicholas Galitzine, who grapples with his own uncertainties about inheriting the throne.
Cannon cleverly embraces the tale’s predictability by amplifying its entertainment value, particularly through its musical elements. While musical adaptations of *Cinderella* are not new, this version stands out by incorporating well-known pop songs. For instance, the film opens with a lively medley of Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation” and Des’ree’s “You Gotta Be,” setting the tone for its contemporary flair.
Though the story treads familiar ground, the film’s playful execution and innovative musical choices make it a delightful and engaging retelling of the classic fairy tale.
