Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Me;anie Wilson This review does contain spoilers, but, trust me, I'm not really spoiling anything. This movie had a lazy plot, careless script, and sad acting. It's the Cinderella story we've all seen before. I don't know why they keep making these movies--or why we keep watching them--and this had to be the worst of them all.Someone else commented that the movie poster makes Elle look like a 40-year-old woman. She does. I'm sure the budget was low. I'm sure the graphics department got paid diddly squat, but Photoshop is not that hard to figure out.The montage of the relationship between Ty and Elle looked like it was run through instagram and smacked into Windows Live Movie Maker. Adorable, yes. Professional, no. I found myself wondering what they were saying to each other..."Oh Ty, can you believe we're getting paid for this?""Elle, they have to pay us! After this, we'll never be respected as actors!" They both laugh in unison as they pretend to eat ice cream.Alright, alright. These are all superficial things, they're not THAT bad. Sure. Hey, what about the standing ovation from the judges after Elle preforms her song at the scholarship audition? Check. The evil trio that smacks their gum and demands gourmet water? Check. The overly animated, rambunctious best friend who also smacks her gum and pushes the protagonist to go after her dream? Check. You've completed the list for worst movie ever, would you like to go for a bonus round? Just add in the judges and Uncle Allen jamming out like they're teeny boppers with the most horrifying smiles you've ever seen plastered to their faces during Elle's audition. Also, the guitarist and drummer should both know the music, even though it's an original song, so that they can do back up. Now, tell your actors to channel the type of acting that is usually left for plays instead of film acting. Their goal is over the top (in a bad way). Check? Oh no...The recorded music that Elle sang wasn't half bad, the lyrics better than other movies I've seen, such as Music and Lyrics, but that's the only thing that kept me from hitting myself in the face with the DVD case.
just_kumala Okay Netflix, do you have others worse than this? This movie is such a failure. First of all, I'm up for every movies with the fairy tale theme. But this is "beyond fairy tale".The actors suck, they could not act! The editing sucks too! A lot of unnecessary scenes. It felt like some people wanna be stars and they were all over the place! Failing amateur movie.The plot was okay though but seriously, even other Sterling Knight movies are even better than this.The only good about this movie is only the songs, they're just cool, not awesome, but Thank God at least there's something good.
xtine_cdcg I'm sorry but for me, this movie was just plain horrible. I was half expecting another one of those cute Cinderella flicks. But I was in for a surprise. The acting was not even close to mediocre.. it was bland, forced, weak and the characters seem so fake. The lead actress just sucked; I don't know, but her whole character seemed to me as if she was a failed Taylor Swift clone. Some of the actors weren't as bad as the lead but others had it even worse. Anyways, the movie was dull, predictable and cheesy. The script was also horrible and cringe-worthy. And if it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have sat through even half of the movie. I'm sorry if I seem a tad bit harsh on my wordings but it irks me that the movie could've been a whole lot better if they just put more effort into it. Elle: A Modern Cinderella Tale had potential to be an "okay" movie but it was just very disappointing.
american-beauty60 I loved this movie very much. It was really sweet and the songs were amazing.I can't deny that it was pretty predictable but still enjoyable.I have been a fond of Sterling Knight for very long time now. He is a great actor who always plays his roles perfectly. And he is one of the main reasons why I love Sonny with a Chance. When I saw him in Starstruck I admired him even more. He is going to be the next big Hollywood star who I will always look forward to enjoy his work.Ashlee Hewitt is another strong beautiful voice who needs to be given more chances to show the world her real talent.The movie is not that comedy by the way but still there were some good funny moments and other heartwarming ones. Finally, I had so much fun watching the movie and hearing its songs. I think I would love to watch it again and again anytime.
