1998 was a bit of a rebirth for Drew Barrymore. After spending the better part of a decade making what essentially boils down to softcore porn films like Doppelganger and Poison Ivy she found her way back into America's collective hearts playing opposite Adam Sandler in the Wedding Singer. That's right you have Adam Sandler to thank for reminding the world that Drew was a thing. You also have this movie to thank for it because while the Wedding Singer won her over in the hearts of boys because of it's connection to Sandler you don't entirely win girls over as someone to look up to until you play Cinderella in a slightly gritty reboot of the tale before the gritty reboot was a thing. Maybe it's the fact that I'm not a 15 year old girl anymore but i couldn't quite escape being bored by this once revered movie. I mean it was okay, but it wasn't as special as it should have been. And this ends "Allen reviews a movie by talking almost exclusively about a different movie".
Rating: C
