![]() ![]() No amount of lifting tiny hay bales, or swinging around baskets of (either store bought or prop) chicken eggs while "singing" (I really should say mouthing) to poorly dubbed over studio recorded music. Now, I don't know if her personal input was ever considered, or if the cast and crew had majority say on props and wardrobe. And right from the get-go this is where we see the Cliche farm girl acting. So, the movie opens with our Star of this little charade, Baliee Madison. It was as if everyone in the movie couldn't help but slip up, letting the audience know through their forced cringe worthy acting that this movie was in fact just a money grab. This movie was almost too painful to watch. Other than when she had a part in the movie 'Just Go With It' I have yet to have seen her being absolutely genuine with her character portrayals, they have always felt too forced as if she is being just that 'An Actor' rather than stepping into the parts she plays. I will try to and be as unbiased as I can, with that being said Ive never really been a fan of Bailee Madisons acting techniques. Not only is the story line terrible, but the acting of everyone in this movie -besides Karen Holness who was the laid back goddess that she is, making me believe with everything in me that she was a set manager- made me feel constipated trying to hold in the amount of cringe I felt. I want to preface this review by saying this is an absolute Cliche of a movie. Language includes "badass," "dammit," "hell," "crap," "fricking," "balls," "poop," "stupid," "dang it," "shut up," and "oh my God." A running joke has people calling the main character "pig girl." The film could inspire interest in more of the Cinderella Story series, and characters talk about and use iPhones and social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. There's some humor related to characters dressing in clothing typically associated with another gender, which feels outdated. Young adults kiss, and there are jokes involving having "balls" and a woman dressed as a man walking in on people in bathrooms. Expect a bit of innuendo in song lyrics, and there's one scene in which a woman hits on her step-sister (who's in costume) when she doesn't know who she is. There are also positive messages about being authentic and true to yourself, knowing and valuing your roots, and taking chances despite the risk of failure. The characters who are most successful and happiest in the movie are also the kindest to others. Parents need to know that the fairy tale-inspired A Cinderella Story: Starstruck (the sixth Cinderella Story movie) is about a would-be actress named Finley ( Bailee Madison). ![]()
