You ache for her as her world seems to fall apart when Prince Henry learns the truth. You laugh when she first hits the Prince with an apple (pretty good shot, too!). She handles the comedy as ably as the romance. She delivers on the promise she demonstrated as a youngster and brings those Barrymore genes to life. The accent is a bit distracting, but she is consistent with it, unlike certain Robin Hood's I could name. King Arthur wouldn't have worn plate armor, either.ĭrew Barrymore delivers her best performance ever.
Sure, there are errors in history and anachronisms but, it's a fairy tale. It brings the romance of the story fully to life and touches the heart. It was beautiful, funny, thoughtful, smart, and wonderful. Imagine my surprise when I watched it on video. A filmmaker decided to do another rendition of Cinderella and what a beautiful rendition it is!Ĭinderella was always my favorite fairy tale, but this movie, at first, looked like yet another poor updating. Inventor-artist Leonardo Da Vinci (Patrick Godfrey), accepting the French court's patronage, offers advice to Prince Henry on matters of the heart.
Later, when Danielle poses as a Lady, the Prince takes an interest in her.
Fortunately, she has an encounter with Prince Henry (Dougray Scott), who is fleeing an arranged marriage. Ten years later, Danielle (Drew Barrymore) is now treated as a servant by the trio. After returning to France with his new wife Rodmilla (Anjelica Huston) and her two daughters, he dies of a heart attack. In flashback, the story then focuses on eight-year-old Danielle, daughter of a wealthy widower, a 16th-century landowner. The Brothers Grimm arrive at the home of a wealthy Grande Dame (Jeanne Moreau) who speaks of the many legends surrounding the fable of the cinder girl before telling the "true" story of her ancestor. EverAfter (1998) is considered one of the best Comedy,Drama,Romance movie in India and around the world.Īndy Tennant directed this Cinderella variant. Drew Barrymore,Anjelica Huston,Dougray Scott,Patrick Godfrey are the starring of this movie.
