However, this Cinderella understands your fatigue, provides something light and airy, with actors who seem to be legitimately having fun, and it's got a consistent feminist perspective that chides the prevalent problems with the source material. If you have no interest in another version of Cinderella, I understand the fatigue with the property. She's far better at acting than you might believe. A modern-day girl, living with her aunt, uncle, and bothersome cousins, learns to see with the heart, as she chooses between two very different boys. Luca is directed by Academy Award® nominee Enrico Casarosa. (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface. Cabello has a natural charisma to her and is surprisingly adept with comedy, able to turn on a dime and deliver a hilarious self-effacing remark. All Disney movies, including classic, animation, pixar. The film delivers some bon mots of political thought to go along with its sugary sweetness of a contemporary sing-a-long musical that is easy to digest. The winking feminist criticisms won't be new to anyone over the age of twelve, but it's still welcomed even as the film skates over the discordant plot elements to keep things light. The evil stepmother, played by Idina Menzel (Frozen), is even given her own song detailing her tragic history of being a musical prodigy who had to give it all up in a society that only valued her as marriage material. The movie is also funnier than I expected, with consistent wise-cracking and one-liners that had me laughing and critiques about the patriarchal system from a progressive, feminist perspective.
There's a "What a Man"/"Seven Nation Army" mashup at a ball that gave me strong Moulin Rouge vibes, especially with all that chaotic sashaying petticoat editing. The mash-up of popular songs kept me amused and guessing what would appear next, and the original songs contributed by Cabello have a nice soaring uplift to them as well as memorable hooks. It's also convenient because we don't need extra time explaining the setup and character dynamics that we're all so familiar with at this point thanks to the umpteenth renditions. This choice proves to be a durable source of energy and keeps the pacing running smooth. Written and directed by Kay Cannon (Pitch Perfect), this movie is packed with singing and dancing to the point that the talking only makes up perhaps twenty percent of the movie. In short, it's a fleeting but fun experience that's a winning 100 minutes for families with young children and adults who enjoy a peppy, self-referential musical. Do we need another rendition of good ole' Cinderella, especially only a few years after the Disney live-action version? The new Cinderella starring pop star Camila Cabello is a surprise jukebox musical, and it's irreverent where it should be and progressive where social critiques are warranted with the source and historical context.
