Why does anyone think it is a good idea to have age-old fairy tale characters spew woke nonsense all over the place? I can't remember any story being told more than Cinderella, and this seems to me the most forgettable version out there. The movie spends far too much time giving the audience a headache either with overlong musical numbers, or with the patronizing preaching of modern 'values' that has truly become irritating. Why does every single movie and TV show nowadays have to conform to whatever agenda is promoted? It is so in-your-face that there is no subtlety left. Admittedly, the costumes and production design were rather good. Camila makes for a charming lead but cannot save the film, while usually talented performers like Menzel, Brosnan and Driver are completely wasted. The evil stepmother isn't even all that evil anymore, and is stupidly redeemed at the end, and I completely forgot the stepsisters were in it at some point. Also, does James Corden have to be in everything these days? He's not funny and nobody likes him. Don't waste time with this and STOP shoving agendas down our throats!
