SPLENDID MOVIE

First let me say that this web site is wonderful with its reviews and explanations of the movies. I plan on using this site for most of my reviews before watching movie or videos!

Ever After was a splendid movie, with strong characters that are well developed. This is a great movie for young women to see a strong character that is smart, and also brave to face trouble when she needs to. I also like how all the characters, even the stepmother are given a side to personalities that make them very human. The stepmoher runs to her husband's side when he falls from the horse, only to hear his last words go to Danielle, and not to her! Her pain is apparant. I also enjoyed the 'battles' between the sisters, reminding me of my own quarrels with my sisters. (Although I never boxed one in the face! haha).

This movie gets a huge thumbs up from me!

GOOD MOVIE, ONE PROBLEM

Ok, i loved the movie. it's one of my favorites (one of many) but as an artist i have to say i was quite disturbed by the fact that Leonardo da Vinci was in the movie. Yeah, it was the right time period, but him pulling out the Mona Lisa on a canvass from a water proof tube no less, was a bit much. The Mona Lisa was painted in Florence Italy on Wood, not canvass. You wouldn't carry and oil painting rolled up like that not finished...if you've ever painted w/ oil you would know it takes forever to dry. Just a little thing i noticed. Also, the painting "Leonardo" did of Danielle is actually one of his paintings. I thought that was pretty cool how they integrated that into the movie. And what greater thing to have Da Vinci in place of the Fairy God Mother no less! Artists rock!!! Danielle was a great character, w/ flaws of course...Dug herself into a hole and couldn't get out basically till it was almost too late. We can all learn a lesson from her. Sure, she lied to get the old man back, but she could have easily told the truth as easily as she had lied. She hardly stood up for herself. I find myself screaming @ her "JUST TELL HIM YOU IDIOT!!" hahahahaha The movie portrays her as a strong woman, but also as a weak confused girl. Sad really. BUT i still loved the movie.
thanx casey stephens

TEENAGE BOYS CAN EVEN BELIEVE
March 27, 1999.
Story that can be believed, even by teenage boys. With only a handful of unanswered events, such as shoes being too big and thus must resort to her own present pair, and Leonardo notices, never leads to anything else. And when the prince says to Daniel,"you are one of them" you're left wondering what the "them" is referring to. I and my son could easily see existing a survivalist young woman, whom even the neighbor knows is the true force of the household as he seeks out Daniel over the stepmother. Daniel had to be the one in the background being the true bond that held her father's estate together, the best farm land in the land being worked the best it could with limited assistance. And when told that a lady of the court looks down at none, she has the clearance to proceed with conversing frankly, even scolding the prince of France. The Prince was never shown passion and conviction until Daniel enlightens him to the possibilities. Remember, there were no alternatives to Kings and Queens at that time. So falling for the Prince was logical, not turning to the enemy. And good filming to avoid showing all of Drew's tattoos.–DAVID

PROVOKED GOOD CONVERSTION
Feb 7 1999,
I saw this movie for the first time with a friend, then later with my family (including two children aged 7 and 5). It is a great movie with an excellent moral. It provoked some  good conversation with the kids. --Jo March, Milwaukee WI
