I could and will criticize this film, but for the life of me I cannot understand why someone would criticize the film as predictable. The Cinderella story is a universal one so of course the film is going to follow along certain lines.

Poor Selena Gomez is more like the match girl than Cinderella in this film, little more than a slave to former pop star Jane Lynch in one unreal and outrageous performance. Lynch has two daughters as well whom she encourages to dump all over poor Selena. Gomez was the daughter of one of Lynch's backup dancers who died and whom Lynch took in.

Nevertheless Selena has two dreams, a career in the business and a relationship with former boy band pop star, Justin Timberlake like Drew Seeley. So if at some point in your life you've heard the story of Cinderella at any time from the age of two on up, you know exactly how this film will turn out.

Too make up for a most idiotic plot there is some really nice singing and dancing with Gomez and Seeley. Drew Seeley was the touring company stand-in for Zac Efron when the Magic Kingdom sent its High School Musical stars on the road. The young man has a lot of good notes in his voice and Selena Gomez is a very pretty and talented young lady.

Would they had got a film more worthy.
