Confessions of an ugly step sister6/1/2023 ![]() ![]() She's presented as not an evil witch, but a ferociously strong-willed woman who is out to survive at any cost. ![]() Stockard Channing was perfectly cast as the stepmother. They did a much better job proving it here than in EVER AFTER. All of the characters are interesting and believable - the way the script is written, it's as if the story really could have happened. ![]() She loves her family, and even loves Cinderella, despite the troubles she has with her. ![]() Iris is a fabulous character, and more than I can say for any other production, she seems like a REAL person. Our heroine is the ugly stepsister (my one complaint: Azura Skye is far too beautiful for the role) who is trying to make her way in the world with a demanding mother, a simple sister, and a spoiled stepsister. The Cinderella story is approached in a completely new light. etc) This adaptation is my favorite beyond compare. I've seen probably every movie ever based on it (The Slipper and the Rose, The Glass Slipper, Ever After, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, Ash Pet. Oh sure, I saw the Disney movies like any other kid, I've also read all the originals - even the original Grimms "Aschenputtel" in German - yes, I know the Cinderella story all the way around. ![]()
