Another Cinderella Story Another Cinderella Story 3 star

I didn’t expect much from this but I really love Selena Gomez in “Wizards of Waverly Place” and didn’t doubt she’d be just as watchable here. It is, as the title says, just another cinderella story; but I’ve gotta say it’s better than the Hilary Duff movie of a few years ago, and also it goes a little the way of Enchanted towards the end, and if I’m honest I felt like it did it better – it touches on the ways in which reality is different from the fantasy fairytale etc, like, the possibility is raised that the Prince Charming here might simply not be the One for Gomez – it happens. But Gomez throws the perfect destroyed and dejected looks at the camera and there were moments where I felt for her a lot more than expected. There’s a totally unwarranted vomit gag right at the front end of the movie, but other than that it’s a perfectly harmless background viewing.
