BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

daviddaphneredding This updated comical parody of the Cinderella story is not only funny, but is also very touching and heart-warming. It followed so closely the fairy tale only this time it was the rejected stepson who is terribly mistreated by his stepmother and stepbrothers. Henry Silva and Robert Hutton were accomplished as mean stepbrothers, and it was easy to hate Judith Anderson, the horrible stepmother. The only things I did not like were the overdoing of Ed Wynn as the fairy godfather and the polo game: those parts were almost too ridiculous. Of course, as is almost always the case, Lewis was adept at causing a lot of laughs. I liked hearing Count Basie and his band, and Anna Maria Alberghetti was ravishing and so caring. As a rule, it is worth the viewing.

johnstonjames the Frenchies are right about Jerry Lewis. he was a comic genius. strange though, even though Lewis was all-American, with the exception of say, Quentin Tarantino, most people in this country don't get him anymore.i love the films of Jerry Lewis, and after 'The Bell Boy', this is my favorite Lewis film. it also helps to like fairy tales and be a fan of the 'Cinderella' story. this is in the top three as far as the best tellings of this story. it's more than a little ironic that it's "cinderella" is a guy. i wonder how feminist would dissect the fairy this time with a male protagonist.it's amazing how fresh and vibrant and trendy hip this film feels after almost five decades. this whole film is about reworking classic archetypes and icons, so there is a naturally hip element that is ready made to go and built right into this film's telling of the story.but it definitely feels like a classic. not only are there fanciful little fantasy touches, like an appearance by the "real" Cinderella, Jack and Jill and a Goldfish turned chauffeur, but there are so many things in this that worthy of being thought of as classic film/comedy moments. the scene at the ball where Lewis runs frantically up a long flight of stairs is hilarious and leaves the viewer as breathless as Lewis must have felt. i heard the sequence was so physically grueling that he had to be hospitalized right after wards. wow. now that's dedication to your craft.i also enjoyed seeing Disney favorite Ed Wynn in this. Wynn has always been a beacon of cozy charm and fanciful silliness. it's nice to see someone in film, other than Disney, take advantage of his talent and warm brand of humor.loved the songs, performances, set design and it's poignant, timely message. more than being about Prince(or princess)Charming, the Cinderella story is about intimidation and oppression. something people practice all the time and something all persons should be cautious of. even if you happen to be a "fella".

bigfoot_60622 I have seen this movie plenty of times and what is bothering me is i don't remember the name of two songs in the movie and would like to know the name of them?.....one song is when Jerry Lewis is at the ball and Count Bassie comes around and is playing Jerrys song....and the other song is when Jerry Lewis is in the kitchen playing the song with his wooden spoons it is fun to watch him think that he is playing that song....I Love this movie and those are the two of the best songs in this movie so if anyone can help me out.....Thank You.....I give this movie a 10 for all the fun the movie gives and it is a very funny movie and i recommend this movie for everyone to see

nimmiragavan I used to love Jerry Lewis, and Cinderfella was a favourite.Dean Martin used to get in the way I always thought with a lot of soppy songs!(I must warn you I also like Police Academy (my partner cant believe this) so have a taste for slapstick.)But from memory, I used to think Jerry had fantastic timing to a lot of his routines so you were on the edge of your seat while laughing as well. This has made me think I must get the DVD and have another look at it to see if it is still as magical.
