      Entertainment Weekly

      When not unnecessarily bland, synthetic, and indistinguishable from undistinguished teen TV, A Cinderella Story is unnecessarily coarse and dumbed down, with every character except Sam and Austin subject to perfunctory ridicule.

      Village Voice

      The film lacks the guiltily pleasurable panache (and punch) of other recent chickadee flicks posited as protofeminist fairy tales.

      L.A. Weekly

      Under the charmless direction of Mark Rosman, the actors seem to be frozen at the rehearsal stage, with the blessed exception of a sublimely funny Jennifer Coolidge as the Botoxed horror of a stepmother.

      Of all the teen performers out there, Duff has to be the blandest (especially since the Olsens hit the skids).

      The Hollywood Reporter

      From its uninspiring title -- and certain turnoff for young males -- to its limp slapstick and uneven acting, A Cinderella Story arrives with a dull thud.

      Lusterless trifle.

      Dallas Observer

      Duff isn't exactly known for complex fare, but even "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" was way better than this.

      Even the delightful Duff disappoints.
