    It was a bit choppy, but then again it's a memory so it wouldn't too detailed. I liked it-- Mr O'Connor had a voice (a real voice) and that's vital. ...

    Hi :] please keep in mind that this is only loosely following the fairytale, Cinderella. Loosely. Very loosely. The thing is, it doesn't seem like it... even loosely. The part ...

    Hmm... this wasn't my cup of tea. I mean, I'm not saying it was bad---it was quite good, at first. However, repetitive or what? IMO, it should have been half ...

    Where Part 2 suffered, this certainly has been a return to form! Loved it, loved it! Had me on tenterhooks the while time. The dialogue was perfect, the characters comical ...
