We got a review copy of the new movie (all opinions are my own) called A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits starting Sofia Carson. My kids already love her from Descendants and Adventures in Babysitting, so they couldn’t wait to see this movie. The music and story line combined to make a great film that they will watch over and over again. This is one that your kids will enjoy.
Here is the trailer for A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits
Tessa Golding (Sofia Carson) is hired as an assistant by her Stepmother, Divine and her stepsisters, Olympia and Athena to accompany them to The Royal Lagoons Resort for an audition. The stepsisters audition to play “Cinderella” for Reed West, a famous singer, who is putting on a show called, “Cinderella-Live”. Meanwhile, Tessa befriends a makeup artist, Georgia, who convinces Tessa to audition as “Bella Snow” so her stepsisters/stepmother can’t get in the way. Bella Snow lands the part, but now Tessa maintain her secret identity and still cater to her stepsisters.

In tune with the timeless magic of the Cinderella fairytale, this contemporary musical finds Tessa Golding (Sofia Carson) forced to go on vacation with her evil stepmother, Divine, and evil stepsisters, Olympia and Athena. Once at the posh resort, she realizes she was brought only as a servant to assist the stepsisters as they compete for the lead roles in a live musical performance of “Cinderella” with Reed West, the infamous pop-star, as the Prince. Tessa secretly dreams of auditioning but Divine forbids it. Georgie, a make-up artist, transforms Tessa’s identity to “Bella Snow” so she can audition without Divine and her mischievous daughters getting in the way. Now, Tessa must juggle her dual identities as the demands of her stepfamily, the Prince and the show complicate things!
