that new Cinderella movie is the dumbest thing you'll ever see... 

It’s irritating how people praise this kind of Cinderella but bash the Disney one for being too WeAk…when she was literally a WOMAN in the 1700s who was going through domestic and emotional abuse…

I'm really starting to hate these "girlboss" movies. Nothing wrong with girlbosses when executed well, but forced onto an existing character who's already strong in her own right is exhausting.

I love how this movie was made as “progressive” and to “empower women” yet all I see in this comment section is women saying it’s garbage

Conclusion: The film's script was written by Twitter activists.

I dont understand why they want "feminist" and "you dont need a man" movies and choose to do a terrible remake of Cinderella instead of idk Tiana from princess and the frog??? The true independent and hardworking princess of disney

I will always prefer Cinderella 3's prince, the prince that yeeted himself out a window and ran away from his own wedding because he believed in talking mice. He was peak himbo.

My favorite part about this movie, that baffles me so much, is their inexplicable decision to _downplay how bad Cinderella's home life is._ Alex already pointed out her absurdly clean, spacious, and brightly-lit basement bedroom, but that's not all. Cinderella is shown serving the stepfamily breakfast, like, once at the very beginning, and that's basically the only chore we see her do. Meanwhile, the stepfamily is shown out in the yard hanging laundry on the clothesline in _three separate scenes!_ Sure doesn't look like Cinderella's been made a servant in her own home to me! She's visibly clean as a whistle the whole time too, despite the narrator's claim that they call her Cinderella because she's always covered in soot from the fireplace. Like, bitch where?? Not to mention how she apparently has plenty of money to buy materials for her dresses, infinite free time to hang out in her room and work on said dresses, and no problem at all going out to the marketplace to try and peddle said dresses! Literally her only problem in life is that she's inexplicably not allowed to be a business owner in this bizarre society that's modern in basically every other way.

She tried to sell a dress with her dead mother's brooch? Bro what 💀

Why is there a trend of the main character having an american accent while the love interest is British???? Aren't they supposed to be from the same place?

Anybody else noticed how every character is talking like probably 16 century and Cinderella is talking like she’s in the 21st century?

The scene at 4:09 is so stupid. Honestly if this were realistic at all, Cinderella would have been executed right then and there for disrespecting the King. But, whatever. Its fine, she's the main character of course. She cant die and they needed some way to establish that Ella isn't "just like other girls."

The historical accuracy is at -%100, the clothes are made of fabrics that did not exist at the time, the clothes are too modern, and there is sooo much more! Also how did Cinderella get that fancy fabric that could have been too expensive for her? How did she get away with using that fabric and sewing when her steps "hate" her? Why was the prince wearing a useless head scarf?

I don't like how they made Cinderella smug and overconfident right out the gate. It completely destroys the point of her character.

Man really abdicated the throne for a “I’m not like other girls” girl he met for two seconds…

This Cinderella feels like the kind of girl I'd highkey avoid in school And what happened to the gentle and nurturing godmother? :( She gave off such soft and comfortable vibes Everyone in this movie feels like an asshole in one way or another

I feel like Alex spent more effort thinking about this plot than the entire writers room.

It's a huge high profile movie everyone's talking about, but no-one's watching

this cinderella movie is literally that girl, "I'M nOt LiKe ThE oThEr MoViEs" Too quirky.

5:45 -- Why is she selling her dead mother's brooch with her one of a kind dress?

Why is it in bad fairytales the characters say “princesses don’t sew, princesses don’t ride horses, princesses don’t do sports and don’t read complex books”. Historically princesses did excellent needle work and were well educated, spoke several languages, were fit and expected to know about their country or the country of their betrothed. They were some of the most intelligent people in the kingdom and would be expected to be able carry on conversations with ambassadors, priests, and have good musical skills. On top of being well dressed and poised. They had access to the best tutors their family could afford. Can we please get more intelligent and witty princesses who take their duty to family and country seriously?

Amazon: We’re creating a more realistic Cinderella Amazon’s Cinderella: Turns down a life of ease and luxury to go work a full time job she could have still done as a hobby

I feel like this movie only exists so that the people who made it could congratulate themselves on how progressive they are.

Fun fact: Queen Victoria’s white wedding dress became a fashion staple that continues to this day. It wasn’t traditional (back in the day) to wear a white dress for your wedding because of how much effort you would need to clean it if it got dirty. Cinderella literally could have used that to her advantage!

I love every iteration of Cinderella (the 1950 Disney movie, Ever After, the 2015 remake, A Cinderella Story, the one with Brandy, heck even Cinder Elmo) but you couldn’t pay me to watch this movie

It's amazing that the King didn't execute Ella for sitting on the deceased King's statue. What a kind King? Some people even call him a doormat.

“Did the world really need ANOTHER CINDERELLA??” That’s the first thing I said when I saw it.

And so Cinderella gets so upset that she sings a song... As you do... This is why I love Alex and his channel. The comedy that he just slides into the narration and is just so nonchalantly and under the radar for me is just great.

I love how everyone’s just ranting, so I guess I’m just gonna rant too. First, I didn’t like the part where she was sitting on the king’s statue. Like in Spanish I would say “y que te ganas?” (What was your point by doing that?) like there’s a difference between taking a stance for things you believe in and being rude and disrespectful. Second, the “romantic tension” between the leads was terrible. It felt so cheap, rushed, and unemotional that all I could do was cringe. His lines were so “proper” to always emphasize that she was “smart” and “strong” so that he proves that he’s not objectifying her. But let’s be honest. He just saw her on the statue and his face instantly changed -_- like seriously Furthermore, on her end, she would only say he’s handsome, but it didn’t feel like she actually loved him. (Disney’s live-action Cinderella did the romantic tension a million times better.) Third, I didn’t understand the ending. So he didn’t become king? She became a traveling seamstress for another queen? So what, the prince is just gonna tag along? Yeah, that wasn’t clear. There was just a “romantic confession” she gets hired and BOOM cue dance number. Like wha???? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am confusion. There. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Bye bye 👋

Cinderella: Designs ball gowns. Also Cinderella: Thinks Balls are a waste of time

I think 'Ella Enchanted' did the whole empowered Cinderella thing much better without being preachy. I'm really sad it's so underrated. And 'Cinderella III' is just such a classic. Edit: I totally forgot Ever After. Thanks for reminding me guys.

12:50 I'm just gonna leave that there🤣💀💀

The best ever adaptation of the Cinderella movie is Ever After starring Drew Barrymore. Anyone who hasn’t seen it, even if you’re not the biggest fan of romance movies or princess movies like me, you need to watch that movie. It’s so amazing.

I just learned that this movie was James Corden idea and everything makes so much sense to me now...

In this variation, it's blatantly obvious they tried realllllyyy hard with the strong independent girl character. It's fine that she wants to make dresses AND fall in love, why is that such a stigma with girl characters? Yet it's weird how they let Ella not give up her wants but have the prince give up his throne. I hate movies where one has to give something up in order to be with someone. Whether it's a business, their whole life, royalty, etc. it's just a huge gesture to someone you've known for like a day or two lmao.

Oh my lord i just realised, the actor who played the Prince in this movie played the British Price in Red, White and Royal Blue😮😮

I thought of a type of Cinderella movie: Cinderella vs Zombies. You have to admit it’s an interesting idea for a movie and would be cool to see Cinderella, the Prince, and her stepfamily having to fight off a zombie apocalypse accidentally caused by the fairy godmother’s magic. The fairy godmother attempts to bring back Cinderella’s parents to life for just one day which is their daughter’s wedding and then everything goes down hill from there. You have birds and mice holding up crosshair targets for the survivors to kill the zombies, people shoving dynamite into pumpkins and launching them as explosives, and so on.

"why does he have to use the shoe to find her? When he already do know who she is?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MY FAV PART

It’s so weird how nowadays it’s apparently not allowed for women in films and media to still be strong and independent while also just happening to want to fall in love. Like, those two can happen together you know.

all i’ve realised from this video is that the step sister are funny as hell

When he mentioned that he’s 33 and should’ve had his life figured out…I felt that lol!

I feel like there’s more Cinderella movies than there are the whole Disney princess franchise

This movie was really "I'm not like other girls" vibe.

I pour the milk in before the cereal. It's easier to gage how much milk to pour in so none goes to waste based on how hungry I am and therefore how many bowls I'll eat when the cereal isn't blocking the view plus if you fill the bowl with cereal then add milk there's more sitting in the milk for longer and by the end of it it's soggy.

I read a different cindrella story . it was a play where a reporter goes to interview cinderella now a queen for 25 years or so. he is made to stay the night ,to meet the queen next morning. In the evening he bychance meets a women( I don't remember the her name now so let's call her 1). she is a good jolly women and pleasant to talk to and the reporter asks her who she was and she tells she is the queen's stepsister. reporter retorts that she doesn't seem anything like he imagined ,and she replies neither is there queen. she tells that the story cinderella has been telling the world is not true. the prince and the sisters studied together in the university and he was in love with 1. he frequently visited there household. cinderella was a attention seeking girl. they had lot of servants and cinderella didn't actually needed to sleep near the cimeny. but she loved showing the world that she was poorly treated to gain sympathy of others and one of her sympathizer was her deceased mother's friend who lived nearby one day cinderella asked her God mother to bring the reporters to there house and let them enter when she gives the signal God mother agrees to help her wholeheartedly if she remembers her when planning is successful. cinderella agrees. then she somehow tricks the prince to lift her up and take her to her room that's when reports enter and she kisses the prince and whole thing was a huge scandal God mother leaks all kinds of fake stories about there love and cinderella ill treatment by the step family. latter even though prince explains the king that he was framed but king make them marry to save the reputation of the royals cinderella gets married with in queen and king die suspiciously while traveling. the prince is declared incompetent by the royal physician. cinderella becomes the ruling queen. reporter asks about the God mother and the sisters replied she died one day after the wedding in her sleep. reporter asks the sisters about whether had not put there side of the story before, they reply by saying that they are most hated people in the country, who would believe them over the mighty queen.....

“Cinderella…In 2021…Because…What else you got going on?” 💀 Alex’s comments are gold

This movie just looks like a terrible high-budget RU-vid skit

One of my favorite iterations of Cinderella is an animated tv show that spans about 28 episodes and the ball isn't until 24 or so. The first 23 episodes are (gasp) spent building a foundation of trust and friendship that blossoms into actual love between Cinderella and the prince! Highly recommend.

From a character perspective, the prince saying to Ella that she wouldn’t be able to do what she wants if they were married made no sense. Throughout the story, the prince fell in love with Ella because she was different, so why would he want to change her if she were to marry him? He’d be king no one could tell him what to do or what is proper.

The king spared her life. If this was anything close to reality, she would have been killed for making a “mockery” of him, by sitting on a guards statue. *I get that this isn't reality*

So.. the prince just gave up his throne and title to travel around with his seamstress "wife" (quotes since they didn't get married yet) and the queen she works for? Okay

Ok, when he said "Prince GIGACHAD" I died like laughing and choking and i don't think i'm ok

Two words. PUBLIC DOMAIN. As long as the idea is free, you're gonna see lots of versions.

"its a one of a kind dress" its pre industrial europe. everything is one of a kind.

Original Cinderella: is suffering from abuse and gets by very hard because she is physically and emotionally isolated from real people, but still has the courage to try and get out and explore the world and in the end it pays off and she even finds somebody to connect with and she is finally free of her childhood abuse 😭😭 Amazon Cinderella : is sassy and rude because she’s such a girlboss and ‘oh, fine, I guess I’ll go to the ball, but god forbid that you think I’m like other girls because, uh , I live in an aesthetic basement and I talk to mice’

I hate how in movies when they attempt to break free of female stereotypes, they literally just make up new ones that are arguably worse.

"A fairy *Godmother* " Yet, Disney retcons the Cinderella character as a gay Black man. How can that title be more arbitrary than that? 🤔🤦‍♂️

The number of Cinderella movies made till now is straight up astonishing...

They really should’ve done Anastasia or a story that hasn’t been done 500 million times!

I am so happy I totally missed this movie. It seems that whoever wrote the script decided they would bring something "new" (meaning just following the current trend in movies) by adding the usual infantile dialogue and characterization to the known plot in order to "update" it. It is utterly cringeworthy and horrendous.

You should watch the highschool-cinderella movies, like: "a cinderella story" with hillary duff "another cinderella story" with selena gomez "A cinderella story: once upon a song" with Lucy Hale "A cinderella story: if the shoe fits" with Sofia Carson ... Just realised how many movies they did with the same premise ... Anywhoooo the first two you need too seeeee 😂

This movie is literally shitting on Cinderella's original character and what is percieved as her feminine qualities. Whatever did they think they were achieving by making her character so unpleasant and stripping her off of the qualities that made her special? her kindness, courage and peserverence and forgiving nature despite the adversities she faced is what makes Cinderella Cinderella. She is a survivor and she is strong.

Someone really decided Ella needed to be a seamstress girlboss and then gave her some of the worst dresses of any version of Cinderella in existence. 🥴

Thanks a ton, Meyers! Watching your reviews gives me just enough info to talk with people who HAVE seen the movie, and at the same time, I'm saving the time and irritation I would've gotten from actually watching them. Your reviews are awesome, and for the movies I HAVE seen that you've reviewed, I usually agree with you on most points. That's when I know I've found a good reviewer: when they're not kissing the @$$ of a movie I despised.

Dialogue: ❌ Setup: ❌ Acting: ❌ Changes: ❌ Music: ❌ Everything: ❌

best quote ever “girls are kinda just always in various states of pain all the time” i can’t relate more

I kinda found the step-sisters hilarious, and the truth is that they are not all that horrible to Ella and it sounds that at least Drizella kind of likes her if only she wasn't so self-centered.

What....this is a thing? 5:08 I have an ex who did exactly this and I've never before heard of anyone else this has happened to!

It's amazing that the King didn't execute Ella for sitting on the deceased King's statue. What a kind King? Some people even call him a doormat. It's a amazing movie

I don’t watch shows because Alex watches them for me.

There were a lot of contradicting things: Prince buying the dress she made to "change the system and challenge society" but once she told him she wants to work after becoming queen he was like "BUT WOMEN'S JOB IS..."

No nonsense business Woman is my new ringtone now.

Am I the only one who really appreciated the original Cinderella qualities? Sure princesses like Miranda and Moana had their independence and that fit their storyline… but that doesn’t make them better princesses than Snow White and Cinderella. They were feminine, gentle and good-natured. It’s not to put women in a box that you have to be dainty to be womanly, but being manly doesn’t make you womanly either. All I’m saying is… Cinderella was just as much of a woman as Miranda. They took their situations like champs and both showed the strength of women from different perspectives. I really admire the original Disney princesses. This version of Cinderella is terrible at depicting that no-nonsense business woman trope. Tianna was THAT princess and she didn’t have to be obnoxious to be her own boss. She fell in love, she accomplished her dreams that she worked her whole life for, she was happy.

I have no patience for people who trash the Disney Cinderella for "not doing enough to save herself." It's so insulting, she had no means to escape her situation and even though she was treated horribly she remained kind to everyone-even the people who treated her like nothing! She is rewarded for her kindness in the end and to me someone who rises above it and shows kindness regardless of her treatment is far more inspiring than #girlboss Cinderella.

Did somebody say dancing on a bed in… shoes?!? *HOW DESPICABLE*

Going on a binge of all your videos :) keep up the good work!

5:56 I thought he was buying the dress for himself to wear

Can we talk about how ugly Ella’s ball gown is? The promo art shows her wearing something shiny and lavender. The movie version looks like a wedding dress made by party city.

People, including whoever made this movie, apparently always forget that in the original story (and animated Disney movie) Cinderella was LITERALLY suffering emotional abuse. Putting up with that doesn't make her weak--if anything it makes her stronger. (Blaming her for being weak and submissive is literally shaming an abuse victim for struggling to get help). Plus, Cinderella just wanted to go to a ball, escape her wicked family and have fun for once. Like she didn't even realize she danced with the prince until the next day so it's not like she just wanted to be royalty and was seeking him out. smh I don't know why people keep making Cinderella movies if they're just gonna mock the original source material. (edit: I don't know why I put it was the first animated Disney princess movie bc it's not lol my bad)

14:04 so u haven't used your brain after 18th birthday hm XD

The fact the Evil Stepmother is played by Elsa's VA is just hilarious to me

I’m really sick of movies and the media shaming feminine qualities. Empowering women doesn’t mean turning women into men. It means embracing and valuing femininity! The world can only function well when the yin and yang are balanced.

So, there's this other cinderella remmake, it's good. It shows how she ended up with her stepmom and gives a reasonable bacstory for it. It shows in detail how she met up wit the prince in the first place, it even show shat her name was origionally Ella and that the stepsisters called her cinderella because she got soot from the fireplace smmuged in her face one day!!!! It EVEN shows when the prince camme to her house to find her, instead of her using the other slipper, she sings one of her mom's old songs and from outside the attic, the prince hears her voice!!!!! GOOD REMAKE!!!!!!! You should try and dig it out and make a positive review of it.

The movie I want is CinderEnda, which was a hilarious kids-parody on Cinderella.

The only thing worse than ANOTHER Cinderella adaptation is a Cinderella adaptation that's "woke". Edit: Holy crap! I was not expecting this many likes. Thanks you guys.

I’ll say this over and over: WHERE is this supposed to take place??? Everybody talks in a British accent expect for Ella, so WHERE??? Is it because filmmakers just assume all royals speak British??

i had to pause and rewatch this movie about 7 times within the first 10-15 minutes because i couldn['t bear to watch these poor actors embarrass themselves like that. The filmmakers did them so dirty

By the way the only reason why people watch the live action movies is bc the main character is always played by a famous celeb Emma Watson in beauty and the beast and Camilla Cabello in Cinderella

Glad you called out the new "Villains Are People Too" humanizing of badguys that's been going on, because it's most certainly there and becoming increasingly the narrative.

All of Ella’s dresses were horrific which is even more tragic to think about considering she is supposedly a fashion designer

Inkept watching your videos…..because of your cartoon reaction…..i love it

One good thing I can say about this movie is that Pierce Brosnan really rocks the col. Sanders look

I think the 40’s joke was less about how old young people think 40 is and more about how short a lifespan at the time could be.

The only justifiable reason for movies like this to exist is so Alex can make us laugh at them

4:09 here In Britain we also have a royal guard parade called changing of the guards

I love this video commentary you did for this movie! I cant stop laughing!!!

The main conflict makes even less sense when you realize that a seamstress is actually one of the few jobs women could have at the time lol This movie didn’t even try to be semi-realistic.

The only acceptable Cinderella remakes are Ever After, Ella Enchanted, Cinderella 2015, and Rodgers & Hammersteins

'Does the world need another Cinderella movie?' ... Yes. It needs _several_ more! _Cinderellas In Space,_ _Cinderella The 13th,_ _Cinderella Vs King Kong,_ _Cinderella: Pig In The City,_ _A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cinderella,_ _Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Cinderellas,_ _The Cinderellas Take Manhattan,_ _Hansel and Cinderella..._

this show is literally if celebrities got together and where forced to make a movie.

Even if I had never heard of this movie before, the poster alone is already off-putting to me. I really HATE this smug look she gives and I also hate when they pull medieval stories half-heartedly into the modern time... If you want to modernize a fairy tail, do it fully or don't do it at all. Either leave it in it's own timeframe or fully commit to putting it into today like Westside Story did for Romeo and Juliet. But not freakin' pop-songs and what I assume to be modern fashion in a medival/renaisane movie! Also fuck off with that self-entitled "power-girl" bullshit where she has to be mean to everyone. That's not charming or empowering, it's just obnoxious. Also how does she go from talking smak to the king - who could literally have her executed for talking back - to being subserviant to her step-mother? Is she meek or bold? Make up your mind!
