A CINDERELLA STORY is ACTUALLY AN AMAZING BFF MOVIE! (Movie Reaction) 

First Live will be this Monday the 29th at 9 AM AEDT (Remember that's Australia time) Live channel: ru-vid.com/show-UClLU6EveVOrcfRJKvbINJ9Q Instagrams: @stefanwolf_tmb @samlanemusic Discord server: discord.gg/GgWp3JzVFV

there's something about watching two grown man enjoying a "girly" teen movie that gives me so much joy, idk why

This was the only Cinderella style remake I ever actually enjoyed besides Ever After! And Jennifer Coolidge is just hilarious with anything she does

Jennifer Coolidge is brilliant in everything she does, she is comedic gold. Always love Regina King.

carter and sam are the best portrayal of a healthy boy-girl friendship that doesn't go beyond that, it's really rare to find those, i just love them

I love the fact that carter didn't end up with Shelby, one of the few films that actually teaches you that if people bully you constantly, don't date them they are toxic

I feel like Regina King was an underrated actress but I’m happy she’s having her moment for quite some time.

I always loved how the dad hinted at the book containing important things she may need to know in the future...3:15 It's almost as if he put it in the one place he knew his wife wouldn't look.

This is my personal favorite rendition of a Live Action "Cinderella" movie. Edit: although you have a solid argument that he should have known she was "Cinderella", there's 3 contributing factors that I think could be a reason for him not thinking it was her. 1) She was working at the diner the night of the prom, hence he might have thought she wasn't at the dance, hence not suspecting her. 2) I think the movie does a good enough job hiding her identity with her clothing style, her hair, her persona. 3) Their first meeting at the prom was realistically the first time they ever spoke 1 on 1, and for a school with 3500 people, he'd definitely not recognize her just from her height and voice for the next time they'd meet

Another variation of Cinderella that I really like is a bit heavier is Ever After with Drew Barrymore. It's a bit more drama well sprinkled with comedy,

On the whole "How do you not recognize her" thing. In the original she doesn't even wear a mask or anything and he still has to search the damn kingdom for her.

You guys are consistently so empathetic and thoughtful and intelligent about everything you say. I enjoy lots of reaction channels, and some others cover more media I like, but you guys have rapidly become my favorite specific reactor-people. Your values really show in how kindly and objectively you regard people and characters, and your social-issue-awareness always comes across as genuine common-sense compassion, instead of ever seeming performative or like a forced afterthought. You're just great dudes. Thank you for sharing your perspectives/example-of-how-to-be-good-humans with the world through this medium, and I hope no matter what you guys ever do in the future, that you continue being yourselves and feel appropriately proud to be yourselves. :)

Ooooh, that movie is actually great! And don’t worry, your audio sounds fine to me 👍🏼😊

“I can’t show emotion for another hour and a half.” is a line for the ages 😂

This movie does have ‘I’m not like other girls’ Syndrome, but Hilary Duff is beyond brilliant so somewhat salvaged by her.

When I was about 28, I went to a co-worker's pool party. Her teen son was watching this movie in the living room, and I found myself interested in watching this, with no sound (since I was outside), rather than paying attention to the food, drink and conversation. This either means that the movie is great enough to carry itself, or that I am severely lacking in social skills. Let's just say it's because the movie is great.

I've always hated the dad hiding the will, because that means he KNEW the kind of person his wife was. So why stay married? Why bring that person into your child's life?

carter was such a good friend to sam, he's always there for her and genuinely wanted sam to have the best time at the dance. also during the game when they were chanting austin, he watched her reaction and told her he would tell her how the game ends, because he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. that's a real best friend.

Chad Michael Murray and Hilary Duff were both my early teen crushes among others. Sth I discovered watching this movie many times :D Also CMM seems very skinny for american football but I know that he was a football player in high school and considered playing in college before deciding to pursue acting. All I know about american football is through movies btw and they always portray players to be huge. So idk

Fun fact: Eyebrows are actually incredibly important for facial recognition, so even with just the small mask and hairstyle change it's not too unbelievable that Austin couldn't recognize Sam

Fun fact: Chad Michael Murray (as skinny as he is) actually did play football and his senior team went to state. Don’t ask me how or why I retained this information but there it is. 😂

The term you were looking for is "synchronized swimming". Cant wait for the rest of the Cinderella remakes reactions! Cant forget the one with Selena Gomez...but only for Jane Lynch and the Stepsisters. Not gonna ruin who plays those two. Iconic

"Doesn't she suck?" "She does suck, but he's looking for that" - I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING 😂

This movie shocked the hell out of me even when I first saw it and became obsessed with it as a teen. Even then, even though I didn’t know why, I knew there was something difference about the dynamic between the romantic leads and now as an adult I can see that it’s how genuine their anxieties feel with Sam disliking herself and Austin later being scared of having his vulnerability used against him. and also how yes, Austin is a harmless himbo. I mean, come on, I can barely name another teen high school romance where the “invisible” girl falls for the popular jock where the whole punchline isn’t that she falls for him “despite” his flaws. Sure, Austin is a bit dim especially in the diner scene after the dance, but he’s a sweet soul, who never tries to overstep his boundaries and who is a real romantic at heart. It’s a pleasure to watch their chemistry on screen and you’re right, the pre established relationship makes this movie. Carter is a treasure and Sam’s dad is a legend. Just so many examples of healthy masculinity in this movie and despite the cheesiness, I genuinely think it’s one of the best high school romances movies ever for that reason alone. SO freaking happy you guys reacted to this and we’re also pleasantly surprised by it.

fun fact the song they play during the football game is actually really sad. the song is called "hear you me" by Jimmy Eats World. the song is dedicated to two fans who passed. the two fans where big supports of them before they got popular and when the band was I town they would offer their home to the band. Also love this movie it supper amazing so glad you enjoyed and reacted to it

She coudn't have burned the will, because her Dad hid the will in the book before he died, Fiona didn't know where it was. Love that movie, there are so many out there and I love this one.

It really does need more recognition, this is one of the better remakes for Cinderella story. It beings me to this question are you Budz going to do 1997 Cinderella I think you might like it.

Stepmother: (literally has her own tanning booth) Also Stepmother: “You need to stop being so self-centred…”

Teen Movies need to stop normalising falling in love with bullies. That’s a toxic relationship that we don’t need.

I love how every single time the guys upload I have no issue draining my data like I'm not a broke 18 yr old 😂😂😂love the banter every time 🌈

“The best you get out of this is a boyfriend.” -perfectly encapsulates 99% of teen films

That Teacher who says “That’s a terrible shirt.” has no sense of boundaries.

I don't think I've ever seen a bad Jennifer Coolidge performance. The first thing I ever saw her in was Legally Blonde and I've been a fan ever since. She never disappoints.

The difference in venue definitely depends on how wealthy your school district is in the US. My prom was below a bowling alley and was student decorated, still had a blast with friends! But it definitely was no where close to this

In the defense of Austin I had a friend once that didn't realize that his school friend was the same person who went with him to english classes in the afternoon. The friend was me. The lack of uniform, and my hair combed different confounded him

I LOVE your reactions guys, this is the first time im here this early, i love the fact that you guys are so aware of how some movies didn't age well or they don't have great messages for young people, makes me laugh every time you guys point it out. Keep the reactions coming.

I love Carter and Sam's friendship, it is very wholesome

Chad Michael Murray and Hilary Duff coming together is the coming together of teen star icons who aged well.

I love this movie and I can quote some lines- I had the movie on dvd 😂😂 and would rewatch it all the time. It’s the best modern remake of Cinderella. Can’t wait for you to react to ever after! That’s also a fave !

1. He absolutely is from Easy A. Tho i checked his age and he was 19 in this and would have been 25 in Easy A. Which sounds about right for casting teens in movies hoo boy. 2. The Pledge of Allegiance is bizarre, and most of us when we got to high school stopped saying it. We'd still have to stand though. (And ye we said it every morning from kindergarten to senior year of high school... 13 years.... bruh that's now half of my life.) 3. Pep rallies were never as exciting as they are in movies. I always tried to skip them lol. and 4. This is easily my favorite commentary from you two. Delighted by how much you both enjoyed it. Had an awful week and this really brightened everything! Thank you so much :D

Honestly this is probably one of the best live-action Cinderellas ever. The rain scene is one of my favourites! I always thought that scene was cute and well made.

The musicians were prob packing up after a wedding ceremony it seems like a massive venue so prob have more then one ballroom for events.

I immediately saw this film when it was out bc of being a huge Hilary Duff fan but ended up loving it on its own as a movie. In my opinion still the best modern style Cinderella movie, nothing has topped it in any of the sequels.

Usually, partnership means that they're a partial owner in the business. So Sam did sell part of the dinner to Rhonda because she isn't just the general manager but a partner.

This film is technically ‘The Lion King’. Jennifer Coolidge is Scar, Hilary Duff is Simba and the Dad (who’s hot btw) is Mufasa.

Btw, the gazebo was probably done up like that for a picture background, one thing about a dance is the pictures with the date, yourself, and then your friend group. I still have my stack of everyone’s various themed dances pictures…

I love the the fairy godmother character in this movie, giving her the wedding dress and helping her move out was so sweet💞

Was introduced to this movie by my mom since I wasn’t even born when it came out 😂, and loved it! Now I have all three of the Cinderella stories on dvd

Other interesting Cinderella movie is Rags (Max Scheneider and Keke Palmer) and Another cinderella story (Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley the guy who's the singing voice for Zac Efron on HSM 1) i think they will be funny for a reaction/commentary♡

Sam Montgomery invented rebelling against Hustle Culture and that’s why I love her.

Yayy I love this movie, time to get some snacks and settle in 😂✨

love this movie so much.. however I’ve always been iffy about austins reaction when sam was essentially publicly humiliated (for literally having a job while in school). it took me a few rewatches to realise that he may have felt guilt at that point too, which may have caused him to react the way he did. he finally realised his cinderella was sam, someone he talked to many times since the night of the dance so I assume he was feeling guilty and embarrassed for his inability to recognise her, alongside other thoughts such as whether she was the one who exposed their emails etc. either way, a realistic reaction in my opinion

Please do Bride Wars!! It’s got Anne Hathaway in it!

I never interpreted it as Austin believing Shelby's telling of the story but rather he was just too embarrassed by the whole thing to do anything.

The rain bit is because in the beginning they said there's a draught but Fiona was the only one using the sprinklers for the front lawn. So in a way it symbolises a new start for her, the end of the draught/ bad things happening.

ugh this is my favorite Cinderella rendition ever. Ella Enchanted is a close second! I love that they both take the basics of the story and have their own subversions that make the story unique.

51:54 I still can't quite figure out how exactly Shelley thought that this would win Austin back.

So THIS is where the "laugh out loud" tiktok sound is from!

This movie is always memorable to me cause when this movie came out, my mom and I tried to watch it in theatres, but the (filmstrip?) caught on fire so they evacuated the theatre at the part where they exposed Sam publicly as diner girl. I never saw the end until years later. 😅

"You just stay pretty" got me laughing way to hard 😂👏

Movies with Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Olsen Twins e Amanda Bynes make my childhood

This movie along with Ella Enchanted (the book more so than the movie) are my favourite Cinderella retellings! So excited to see your reaction

I'm so glad that all of these "girl movies" are getting some credit. They may not be revolutionary, but they're still good. Societies hatred of girls and women makes everyone think these movies are straight trash, which just isn't true.

Despite being teenage boys when this came out, my friends and I still watched this movie. Loved it back then, and maybe like it even more now. It has aged incredibly well!

That's the iconic Regina King! She's in Miss Congeniality 2 maybe you recognise her from that? She's a great actress! 💜

I know it's like a guilty pleasure kinda movie, but tbh it's my favorite (aside from the original animation).

This movie and "Ella enchanted", are my favorites Cinderella's movies remakes

I'd love to see you watch "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" (1998) version. It's amazing💜

Damn… as a Melissa who usually chooses violence over kindnesses… I feel acknowledged and represented by your intro. Thank you.

“The best you get out of this is a boyfriend, sorry” FAN 💀

Omg I LOVE this movie. Can't wait to watch your reaction !!Jennifer Coolidge makes any movie better

18:20 in the States, unless you specify that you want sweet tea, "iced tea" is just black tea on ice with no sugar or anything added. No carbs. Just cold bitterness lol. Edit: 46:27 she may have been thinking of a clutch and tried to blend the two together to get closer to an actual purse/clutch?? That's my guess. Because women (usually) don't carry wallets outside of purses. Edit 2: she was absolutely on the cusp of being a MySpace Scene girl!!!!! I was 15 when this movie came out and she inspired me. Fast forward to today and I have weird hair, a septum, a nostril ring, and snakebites. She was definitely a girl crush for me!!!!!!

I love how nuanced your reactions are! You take the good for what it is but aren’t afraid to call out the bad/problematic aspects. Your reactions feel so safe because of it! This is definitely a comfort movie of mine so I especially love this one💜 I appreciate y’all, keep it up! 😌

Pep rallies were the best. We would skip a class and fill the whole football stadium and watch the cheerleaders or step team (dance team pretty much) do their thing. There would be skits or games of smashing food to the teachers or principal. Good silly times when all my old friends had no worries besides the FCAT exam.

My biggest flex is that this movie was filmed at my high school 🙂 it was filmed at Monrovia High school

This was one of my favourite childhood movies. I was a massive Hillary Duff fan having watched Lizzie McGuire. I love your commentary, you guys always keep it real. If you take recommendations, can I suggest Knives Out? It’s a great murder mystery. Love, fellow Sydney sider 😊

Can you guys please do Sydney White pls. And other Amanda Bynes 🥲

I had this on DVD as a kid! It had an option where u could watch the movie while listening to the cast hang out and react to the movie. u couldn't see them but u could hear them commenting along as the movie played. The girl who farted in the pool talked about the mechanism they used to get the fart bubbles and Chad Micheal Murry told Hillary Duff she had nice coconuts during the costume montage when she popped up as a hula dancer 🤣

Pep rallies are basically like celebrations to get people hyped for the games.

We Stan a Himbo Appreciation Channel.

you guys should 100% watch st trinians if you haven’t already!! it’s hilarious it was one of my favourite childhood movies (although i admit i shouldn’t have been watching it as a child hahaha)

“This is a himbo appreciation channel” Oh thank god

Another absolute classic! Great choice!

One of my fave comfort films ❤️

In high school it’s really not uncommon for football players to be skinny. It really depends on what position they play too. For example, the defensive players are usually bigger than the offensive players. Defense takes the opposing team down while offense moves the ball. Leaner players are usually faster and can get the ball across the field faster and can move in between players easier. They’ll usually bulk up in college but not too much because changing their body types changes the way you play. I will say Chad Michael Murray makes more sense as a basketball player in One Tree Hill which came out a year before this but it makes sense to have him play a different sport since it was around the same time.

Have you guys thought about reacting to Rodger and Hammerstein's Cinderella with Brandy? It's one of my favorite live action versions of Cinderella and i'd love to see you guys react to it!

You should do "Another Cinderella Story" with Selena Gomez and Jane Lynch!!

_A Cinderella Story_ is THAT iconic.

“I’m having a hard time believing this guy is captain of the football team” Hey my senior year was the year we had a perfect streak zero loss state championship- and the guy who did the literal winning backflip touchdown was a dude with the skinniest chicken legs I’ve ever seen- I don’t know if he was captain but he was 1000% the MVP most talented member of the team- he plays professionally for California now

Fiona gaslight gatekeep girlboss IM SCREAMING THATS HILARIOUS 😭😭

You should DEFINITELY do more Cinderella movies in this series, because they are so much fun and your commentary is sure to be hilarious! It would also be great fun to see which ones you actually like, and which ones you might not... I mean, obviously take your time and spread them out while also doing other movies, but yeah... every now and again it would be fun for you to watch one of these! These three are the ones I would suggest: Another Cinderella story (Selena Gomez) A Cinderella Story - Once upon a song (Lucy Hale) A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits (Sofia Carson)

Don't know if you guys take recommendations or not but Sydney White, First Daugher, and What a Girl Wants are some other cheesy 2000s movies that are fun to watch :)

I can't wait for you guys to do EVER AFTER!!!

Two of my favorite things at the same time. The Movie Budz AND Hilary Duff nostalgia?! CLICK! This was my shit 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Growing up with only two older sisters, we would have a radio and just so happened to listen from a Hilary Duff album CD. Some are fucking bops and I still listen to them to this day, deadass 😂😂💯 Already made my Thanksgiving Day! Love you, guys! 😊💙 Hope you two are doing good 👍🏼

7:57 He was in ‘Easy A’. I think he played a teenager for quite a while. (Edit: Stef called it out)

fun fact both Julie Gonzalo and Chad Michael Murray are in this and Freaky Friday playing basically the same characters cause shes the blonde pupular mean girl and he's the main love interest, and the movies came out like back to back

Could you guys please watch Atlantis: The lost empire? It's my all time favorite Disney film and the art style and soundtrack in it are absolutely incredible! You won't be disappointed 🥺

the pledge IS crazy. trust me in America we think so too lol

When Fiona said Ed McMahon and the check for a million dollars, she was referencing a contest that people here enter to win money. Ed would surprise people at their doors with a huge check, balloons and a camera guy to record their reactions. My mom tried to enter it but it was such a hassle with the hoops they make you jump through to keep entering, she just gave up 😄 What Fiona said didn't even make sense because the winners are not notified that they won beforehand, so they could record their genuine reactions when they showed up to the door.

Yo.. Madeline Zima (Grace in The Nanny) it's Brianna .... holly shit
