Substitute a cell phone for a glass slipper, a convertible for a two-door pumpkin, and an LA suburb for a kingdom far, far away and what do you get? A happily-ever-laughter twist on the Cinderella tale!
Sam (Hillary Duff) scrubs floors at a diner, copes with her wicked stepmother and stepsisters, and dreams of going to Princeton (the perfect spot for a would-be princess to find a prince). But maybe she has a Prince Charming already: her anonymous e-mail buddy (Chad Michael Murray), who arranges to meet her at the Halloween dance. Sam panics when the mystery man turns out to be the coolest guy on campus. Can he love a girl not part of the in crowd? Can fairy tales come true? Only if Sam stands up for herself and turns her dreams into reality.

My Say?
I've always had been a dreamer. I loved to watch fairytales and thought of creating my own fairytale. But it isn't that easy. You can't set-up what life you'd like to have, especially of the details of how it would come. Sometimes, we don't notice that we had overlooked at some things. We tend to search for more yet what we really have to see is just right there in front of us.
A Cinderella Story is not just another fairytale. Well, maybe it is. It has the usual set-up of a handsome prince of the present era and a modern cinder girl. But then, this story taught me so many things. And it was the start of my love for fairytale movies.
One message was then kept in me from then on after watching the movie. And it helped me a lot in having a reason to live and not just to love.
"Fairytales aren't just about finding handsome princes. They are about fulfilling your dreams and about standing up for what you believed in." - A Cinderella Story
My favorite quote even came from this movie. It was a coincidence that I love playing softball a lot and voila! I automatically just loved the quote.
"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."
