While it certainly makes sense to cast comedians in the comedic roles, the jump from a de-mousefied James Cordon joking about peeing out of his “front tail” to Brosnan and Driver grappling with why their once passionate marriage is crumbling around them is jarring, to say the least. Not helping the tonal whiplash if the film’s impressive but haphazard cast-which includes a gaggle of British stand-ups like James Acaster, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, Doc Brown, and, of course, comic-turned-Hollywood-transplant James Corden, next to more experienced performers like Pierce Brosnan and Minnie Driver, who play the King and Queen.

Even with all the talk of being a self-made businesswoman in charge of her own destiny, she’s still beholden to the whims of a man-it’s her Fab G ( Billy Porter) who makes the dress that catches the eye of a buyer at the ball.īesides the ‘feminist’ inspiration, the other hook for Amazon’s “Cinderella” is the music: the film swaps “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes” and “So This Is Love” with a song selection that could generously be called eclectic.

It’s the story everyone knows-a poor peasant girl, taken in by her wicked stepmother and two vapid stepsisters-is given the chance of a lifetime when her fairy godmother transformers her gown and sends her to the Prince’s ball to find true love.

Though “Cinderella” makes a number of attempts to update the original fairy tale through quips, female “empowerment,” and a soundtrack full of familiar tunes, this latest reimagining runs out of magic far before the clock strikes midnight. As surely as the glass slipper always fits Ella’s foot, it seems we’re destined to be treated to a new take on “ Cinderella“ every few years, and the latest incarnation of the Disney classic is an Amazon-distributed jukebox musical starring pop star Camila Cabello.
