I am still a sucker for a Cinderella story. It is definitely my favorite story type. I came across this movie on Roku and have since discovered it is on YouTube as well. Over the last week, this movie has become an obsession. I cannot stop watching this movie or parts of the movie. I am enjoying it SO much.
It is a different type of movie from other Cinderella stories in that focuses in on the emotional abuse from Indy’s family (Indy = Cinderella). Oh, there’s still romance, but the story drama is more subtle. In this story, the riches (rich prince) are the safety that the Bailey family offer Indy away from her atrocious family. The love and caring that they express towards Indy—steadily and slow slowly, even after initial pushback—is so heartwarming and endearing. My only sad regret is that there’s not more story at the end, or an even a sequel. I would love to continue watching Indy’s recovery process and future adventures.
don’t let what seems to be a low-budget movie hinder you. This is one movie that I highly recommend.
