From all the Cinderella stories out there that are in movies this ones my favorite mainly because it feels more realistic!

I've always loved this movie.. so much that it was worth buying because I'd watch it over and over!

I liked the animated Cinderella movie and the live action Disney one, but even the big budget live action Disney one can't compete with this version. My favorite thing about this one is the change of story - there is a lot of twists and turns at the end and this is such a good show. :)

Let me set the scene for you: it's the early 19th century. You see a carraige pull up to an old medieval castle in the countryside of France and the two gentlemen you see exiting the carraige and ascending the stairs are the Grimm Brothers. They've come to speak with the elderly grand dame that lives there about a folktale they are trying to write, called "Cinderella". The lady, it just so happens, believes she knows the real account about the girl the story is based after, and as proof, she shoes them the real glass slipper. Suddenly you are wisked off into the 16th century during the French Renaissance era; a breathtaking musical score plays and your eyes behold the beautiful, enchanting French countryside.

There are no fairy tales, no singing, no falling love at first sight, no childish themes, there is no wishy-washy static prince, no fairy godmother, no magic, and above all, no submissive damsel in distress. What you get is a historically accurate version of the Cinderella story, made so realistic and done with so much research behind it that it's entirely possible that many of these people, and their characteristics as depicted in the film, actually existed. It is not the storybook fantasy your 4 year old reads; it is a simply beautiful retelling of a classic story that has been lost in translation and adaptations over the the centuries. The heroine is a strong, intelligent, and fiesty, yet compassionate female lead who doesn't need a man to save her or to find happiness. The prince is his own character too, dealing with rebellion, fighting against the fate he is doomed to suffocate under, and yet as the story goes on, he becomes more and more her equal and worthy of her friendship, and later, love.

THIS is the story we should've been telling our children all along: one of strength under immense pressure, one of hope in spite of horrific odds, and one of forgiveness in spite of grave wrongdoing. THIS is the story we must tell each other, for it is THIS story with which we can change the world.

I am a big fan of fairytale sand Cinderella story's this is my all time favorite movie of all time!!!

It takes the “fairy” out of the tale of Cinderella and changes her to an intelligent, philosophical, and strong feminine character, played by Drew Barrymore. All of the acting is way to dramatic, the tender scenes feel insincere, the cinematography, wardrobe and sets are all very plain. Nothing new to see here.

I have always loved romance movies, novels, etc. and I have also seen just about all of the Cinderella-based movies including the new one that came out a few months ago on theaters. I love all of them, but I have to say that this one is my favorite. You definitely get how Danielle is feeling and some of us can even relate to some feelings that she expresses. Especially those of her sister, Margaret. This movie is definitely worth seeing and buying. Believe me, it's worth it.

I admit, they language is kinda weird but I seriously love the movie. It’s great and I found myself in tears at the end.

This is a romance I can appreciate its clean and simply wonderful I fell in love with the story there is nothing I would not show to my future kids in this movie. I highly recommend

This is by far my favorite version of Cinderella. It also shed light on a real Cinderella-like story about Louise of Lorraine who was married to Henry III. (Check it out..it's amazing!)

I sat down one afternoon thinking about what I should watch with my daughter when she came home. She loves Cinderella and this movie looked perfect. It is a incredible twist on Cinderella! My daughter loved it! 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was GREAT but for your children its to lovey dovey,children's response GROSS!!!!!!!!

OMG I 💚 this movie

I have watched it many times and let me tell I don't get tired of it. If your a person !00% like me, you would not get tired of it. (^ ^)

Where is George Fentons's original soundtrack for this movie? It is a gorgeous soundtrack, but I don't see it listed in the iTunes store! Boooo.

I watched this on my tv and this has to be the best movie ever. The talk and the old type and romance makes it the best. I would recommend this to everyone!!!! -Savannah <3

Quite simply - the best Cinderella movie ever. I watch it over and over again. I was going to list all the great acting in there, but they are all awesome! Melanie Lynskey gives the best "look" in the movie at her front door. Don't want to give anything away, you will just have to watch to see what I mean!

I thought this movie was going to be horrible but when I watched with my sister it was sooooo good it's magical, it's one of those movies that you will never get bored of. I don't think kids should watch it but great for teens and adults!!!!!!

If you have not seen this movie yet then go watch it! It is sooooooo good! I am a movie lover, so I've seen lots of movies, but this one is truly my favorite. Also the music is enchanting. I wish this movie had a soundtrack because I love all the songs played in this movie. :)

I really love this movie. What a beautiful story and actors and actress and the music! It my favorite movie ever!(:

I personally HATE Cinderella. Until I saw this movie. It's so beautiful and the actors are great and it's so well written. Amazing love story

The trailer doesn't do the movie justice. My favorite movie ever

I luv this movie SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO much!!!!!! I watch this movie almost every week and can never get tired of it. It is so amazing!! I HATE how u can't buy it.. I mean, what that crap!! It's ridiculous but, still the best movie ever!!

I love this movie soooooo much but am sad that alone I can only rent it which seems pointless and to buy it I have to get it in a bundle that has a movie unappealing to me and rated R which I can't get. It would be so worth getting if I could buy it alone.

This movie is flawless; it's just perfectly crafted. The main character is likable and her story is engaging—funny, uplifting, moving, romantic—from start to finish. Great feel-good flick, and it's not too girly that guys won't like it.

I have always been a fan of Drew Barrymore's, but never a big fan of Cinderella, the girl who whines about her horrid life and wishes for a prince to save her. Until this movie, there had never been a version of Cinderella where she fights her circumstances to overcome the injustice of her circumstances. Why have a whiny girl who sits around and mopes be a role model for little girls? What is that telling them about how to get anywhere in life, that they need a fairy godmother and a prince?? I was a little skeptical at the idea of this movie but I can tell you after watching it, it is one of my all time favorite movies. I even bought the book Utopia that she reads in the movie to be inspired. Drew Barrymore plays a Cinderella that was raised by her father, so she learns the basics of keeping the household together which she didn't mind in the least. She was part of a team with the "servants" more like family. it is when her father brings home the evil mother and sisters and her father dies that Barrymore loses her status as a family member of the house and becomes a servant. Yet despite it all she is in her own way battling her awful new family to secure her home and family servants. Her first encounter with the "prince" is when he's stealing a horse from their property, and Barrymore, thinking he was a thief, hits him directly in the forehead with an apple/fruit. Thus for the first time ever, we have a Cinderella that IS a good role model for how all girls should handle hard times. THIS Cinderella is my favorite. You will be enchanted by Drew Barrymore's quick Witt and charm and her determination to ensure justice in her home and in the world around her. The music is BEAUTIFUL and totally compliments this film, and this will be a classic romance you will watch again and again. I am not a fan of chick flicks but this one got me hook line and sinker :)

I am sensitive to PG-13 movies but I was comfortable watching this at a very young age. Super romantic, the preview doesn't do it justice.

it's the most romantic movies ever i loved this movie ever since i was 5 i always adored the butterfly scene best ever!

This Movie rocked! I think Drew Barrymore did an awsome job as cinderella! : )

I hate, hate, HATE most romance movies, and I LOVE this movie. It makes me happy all over.

My only regret is that they kissed before the wedding, but I loved the reality of it all with no fairy godmother, mice etc like the animated version. It's hilarious too. A must watch!

Awesome

Has been my fave since forever!!!!!!!

I wish I could buy it!!

I saw this when it came out in theaters when i was 11 and saw it a million times since then it's still my all time favorate movie

I absolutely love this movie! I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is definitely one of those movies you can watch over and over.

Granted Cinderella is a very classic story. A lot of companies have done various remakes. This is my favorite version of Cinderella. I think we're able to relate to Drew Barrymore. We're able to see through her eyes, which is a lost art in Hollywood.

A whole new take on Cinderella. Well acted and absolutely beautiful, scenery and costumes. Enjoyable from beginning to end.

this movie is awesome! Great chick flick or mother/daughter movie! must see no matter what!!!!!!!

For me, this screams Cinderella more then the Disney verison. What i like about it is the fact that it is placed in the real world and the magick of the story it in the word ans actions of the charaters and not a wand. This movie for me is the film i can watch non-stop and never get tired of it.

Must see movie! Cinderella plot with a twist. Its funny too!

My 8th grade prom date got on his knees asking me to be his date at the same time the prince did it to drew. Lol.

This is the best movie of all time! I admit that the trailer makes it look bad, but the actual movie is great! I have been watching it for years, over and over again. You can never get sick of it. It is a true love story.

This is truly a beautiful story with a few different deatils. I think that Drew Barrymore is a wonderful actress. For sure 5 stars

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. Been in love with it since it was released in 1999. Got me through some tough times. Always will be my favorite.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

Ever After gives us a great twist to a long loved classic. Families of all ages will enjoy this movie.

i saw this when i was 12, and loved it, now i'm 17 and i STILL LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! drew barrymore is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! i own this movie and i MUST say that this is the BEST cinderella story i've EVER seen!!!!!!!

it is one of the best movies i have seen

Nowadays there are a slew of Cinderella-esque dramas, but this one really tops them all. On the surface, it's a charming picture of unexpectedly finding your "one true" love, but I was really drawn to it because it humanizes it's Cinderella, Danielle. The writers made her extremely relatable, and therefore more likable. The plot was expected, but in a good way. This is the kind of movie you'll really get your moneys worth out of because you can watch it repeatedly and it never gets old. It doesn't hurt that it's a period piece, which I love. Five stars! (:

I love this movie so much. My fav part is where she punches her step sister in the face for talking about her dead mother and she's like "IM GOING TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!!" classic. 

This movie is one that all the girls in my family LOVE to watch. Who can not love it? It's very well done and the characters (yes, even the bad ones!) are so likable. One of the best romantic movies! There's no sex scenes, which is always a plus! And it's a good story. You'll love it!

this movie is great. really sad at points but definatly worth seeing

looks really good. plus its got drew barrymore so how can you go wrong

Drew Barrymore is EXCELLENT as Cinderella. Anjelica Huston puts a devilish spin on evil stepmothers. I showed this movie to my niece's when it first came out. I did not want them to have the Disney version stuck in their heads, so unrealistic. Drew's potrayal gives young girls a realistic cinmeatic view of love in this time period. Showing young girls how love is complex and not simple and mushy is what is needed in building self esteem. It quickly became their favorite movie as well. They loved the fact that she was strong and independent yet vulnerable enough to give in to loving a future king. I can not wait to share this with my daughters.

This is one of the best movies of all time.

This is one of my top three favorite movies; they go: "A Knight's Tale", "Ever After", and "Shakespeare In Love". Drew Barrymore delivers a fabulous performance beside Dougray Scott as the abused Cinderella living in the blossoming age of the Renassiance and leads a life of misery until she meets the egotisical prince charming. They fall in love despite the expectations of society to prove that "happily ever after" can truly happen after all.

This is one of my favorite movies ever! I love it so much!

It has been my ultimate fav movie since the 1st time I saw it! I'm a big Drew fan. She is by far my favorite "Cinderella"!

I saw this movie when i was 9. i lovet it was a movie that teach you that love can move mountains. i lovet, it's great and is not a wate of time. this movie is the best adaptation of cinderella. it make me cry like a little baby baby when i saw it ♥♥♥♥♥

Love the movie!! I saw it in the theater when I was eight, and it's still one of my favorites. I don't know how many times I've seen it. :)

This is a twist on the classic that all girls have come to love! Love this it's the best version of Cinderella since the original!

I love this movie. It was youching and brilliant and way better than the original Cinderella Story. I liked how they added Leanordo Divinci into the movie it gave it an instant twist and made it more compelling and beautiful than the original.

one of my favorite movies OF ALL TIME. watch it. now.

RIP Mom 2006... I remember watching this movie when I was 10 years old, with my mother. I also remember my mother falling asleep every night to this movie. Many times it would be on Friday or Saturday night, her falling asleep on the couch watching Ever After. I can hear her and I now, repeating all the words as they were being said. I am so grateful for iTunes sharing this video to the public like this, because everytime I watch this it brings back wonderful memories of my mother and I.

Yay for iTunes! I've requested that this movie be put on iTunes at least 3 times. Glad to see that it is finally on!

This is a classic movie. It has a great story, great acting, it's really worth your time and money, and I'm sure that you will love it!

I love this movie!

This movie is so good. A new twist on a classic fairy tale that will have your cheering. But what I don't understand, is why the heck it is rated PG-13? I am very conservative as far as movies and stuff, and there is absolutly NOTHING in this movie that warrants a PG-13 rating. There are a few chaste kisses, one S-word, bad behavior and attitudes from the stepmother and stepsisters, and some thematic material involving a death. That is it. I promise. My mom and I would watch this during the summer and I can remember feeling like a "big girl" whenever we watched it! LOL All and all a wonderful family movie.

This story is like an old fashioned fairytale written by Hans Cristian Anderson set in the 16th century. This is a superbly done movie with an amazing storyline

This is my all time favorite movie, with great performances by all the actors. The movie presents a great plot that includes humor, some romance, a little action, and some emotional scenes. It is a great movie for the family, for ages seven and up. It is, however rated PG-13, but it's really only because of one spoken swear and some scenes might be slightly difficult for young audience members to understand. Again, love this movie!

Excellent take on an old classic!

Danielle (Cinderella) is horribly mistreated, but beats the odds when she shows up at a ball, looking stunning.

I can't tell you what happens at the end, you'll just have to find out!

Thank you iTunes! I've made a few reviews to see if you can put this movie on the list and FINALLY you've made it available. It's downloading as I write and I can't tell you how happy you've made me. My daughters won't watch this movie with me anymore because we've seen it a trillion times and they've had enough but me?....I'll never get tired of it and now that I have it on my iTunes library I can watch it whenever I want.

Thanks again iTunes.

I have 2 dvd's and video of this movie I think anyone who loves romance and fairytale should get this movie.

this has to be my all-time favorite movie. it's cinderella in more realistic terms. i wish itunes would get the soundtrack though. but i love the movie!

Being one of my absolute favorites, Ever After brings the Cinderella story to life. It has humor, action, and love all compacted into one of the most beloved stories of all time. Perfect family movie as it is very clean and filled with morals to learn and sweet innocence to laugh over. If you are debating purchasing this movie, buy it! You wont regret it....

It's about time I tunes put this on here!! I absolutly love this movie. Casting for this movie was perfect, the step sisters Angelica houston dougray scott.. and especially Drew.

What I like about this movie is that Cinderella is depicted as woman of character, strength, grace and beauty that even the Prince cannot resist her charms. This Cinderella story is all about being independent, smart and having inner strength--she even saved the Prince at one point of the movie. I would choose to show this movie to my future daughters rather than the simpering versions like the one from Disney (Sorry but singing "Someday my Prince will come" doesn't really show strength of character).

Yay iTunes! Thanks so much for making this movie available. This movie is one of my all-time favorites. just..... YAY!!!

this movie was really fun! i hadn't heard of it but it was a great sleepover movie!

Drew Barrymore is great in this Cinderalla movie... it was romantic and great to watch she made me cry and made friends cry too... i had to get this movie when it came out... everyone should she this movie no matter what people say... don't listen to people see it for yourself and judge it... come on!!!!!!!

I remember seeing this back when I was in high school in The Philippines. I skipped class and went to see this in a movie theatre about 3 times! It left me emotional (I know it sounds stupid, but I really liked the movie!) The movie could've been much better. It's fast paced, but done very well. Entertaining!

I love this movie. When it comes on tv, I have to watch it. Its a must for me. My favorite part is the end.

This movie is for all the true romantics with a love for fairytales. I love how it takes a classic fairytale and turns it into what the real life story could have been.

Finally itunes put this movie on. I love this story line, sure it's based on Cinderella, but this movie is a version of Cinderella for adults. Great story line. Definately worth the money.

I have always loved this movie!! I looked for it on iTunes b4, but no luck. I love it!!! But the only flaw is that there is swearing.

By the way, I'm sorry about my explosion on the Tamagatchyee or whatever. I was furious at the reviews on Aphsalt.
