Young businesswoman Elyse Samford's life takes a turn when she inherits Samford Candy, a multi-billion dollar corporation, from her retired father. A trademark infringement lawsuit against a rival company brings Elyse to Higgins Attorneys and Sons, where Rob Carelli, a young, too-nice-for-his-own-good lawyer, is bullied by his boss, firm founder Carter Higgins, and his two arrogant sons. Despite his workplace woes, Rob becomes instantly smitten with Elyse. With Halloween just around the corner, Elyse invites the Higgins law firm staff to an opulent masked Halloween costume ball. Rob obeys an order to remain in the office working that night, but has a change of heart when his spunky, 12-year old niece Ruby, convinces him to attend the ball wearing a prince costume. After a magnificent waltz and magical exchange with the handsome "prince," Elyse yearns to locate this mysterious man and hopefully find the romance her life has been missing.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Dunham16 The Cinderella story is here flipped with the guy put upon and the girl the equivalent of a Princess. Hot, believable leads do not in any way cover the think and often poorly edited plot line. The setting of romantic comedy is usually a travelogue of an interesting place however the film is not set in any tourist destination cutting out this important element of romantic comedy and weakening the plot. Worth watching through primarily for the hot leads and some good photography but not competitive as far as one of the better romantic comedies. The evil stepsisters recast as evil brothers is one of the better aspects of the film.
globalwonder9 This was a thoroughly charming take on the classic Cinderella Story with a bullied and abused lawyer in the Cinderella role and a newly appointed company CEO as the "princess" charming. Loved how the shoes were worked into the story line, along with the self-serving step-father, and step-brother types in roles of partner owner of law firm and lazy sons. The niece role worked nicely as fairy-godmother type. The Halloween costume party was a nice layer to provide costume and mask to hide the identities. The conclusion was very satisfying and did not feel rush like some hallmark movies have. Looking forward to next season's crop of Hallmark's seasonal movies.
Some Dude This is nothing more than a poor interpretation of the Cinderella story done with the gender roles reversed. The acting is atrocious and the story is completely unbelievable. If they were going to make a fantasy, they should have made it more "fantastic."It is made completely unbelievable because the evil family and the male lead are all lawyers -- a group known for being type-A alpha males. Cinder-guy is completely spineless and would never have made it through any law school let alone gotten an actual job. I bailed before the princess' "mask ball" (Halloween party) was over so I can only assume that it played out as expected with the evil "step-brothers" being revealed and Cinder-guy getting the princess.
butterfly-78 Loved it! A very cute romantic comedy! I must admit that I was not totally convinced by the first few minutes. But I was hooked at the first appearance of the leading actress, at the bowling. Autumn Reeser lightens the screen merely with her presence and her beauty!The story: "Once upon a time there was a ravishingly beautiful young woman who stole the heart of a kind-hearted, handsome young man. However, our Cinderella doesn't mope while cleaning the floors; she's Elyse Samford, CEO of Samford Candy, who has just taken over the reins of the family company and has spontaneously invited Samford's longtime legal consultants Higgins Attorneys & Sons to Samford's Halloween Ball. Among those invited is the handsome young attorney Rob Carelli. Smitten with Elyse, he can hardly wait for the ball and even gets a splendid "prince" costume made on measure..."
