14.Few of us haven't read Cinderella,the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams.Some might not want to admit it,but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart-we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity.
Mary Santiago has that secret dream,too.Her story is shown in Another Cinderella Story,a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance.Compared with other girls,she is invisible.However,her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer,Joey Parker,appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not-kind,handsome and desirable.Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home,she leaves behind her MP3player,which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl.Of course,there is a wicked stepmother,Dominique.She takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey finding Mary,even if that means embarrassing them.
The story,though it mostly follows Cinderella,does add a few modern-day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly,the film,unlike many high school films,does not focus on looks,although the actors are all beautiful.There is a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
"The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping off point,"writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson,"Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream."
