"Elle: A Modern Cinderella Tale" left me thoroughly disappointed after watching it. Sterling Knight, who had potential to rise to greater heights, unfortunately opted for subpar roles that hindered his career growth, relegating him to a lower tier of celebrity status. The actress portraying "CinderELLa" delivered a lackluster performance that made it difficult to sit through the movie. Her lack of acting skills and uninspiring vocals failed to exude the star quality needed to captivate audiences and bring the iconic Cinderella character to life. Her portrayal felt dull and uninspired, lacking the charisma required to carry a film. The sluggish pace of her performance further detracted from the overall viewing experience. Additionally, her attempt at a British accent was so poorly executed that it came across as disrespectful to the culture it was meant to represent. The casting director responsible for this debacle should face consequences for their poor choices, and the director who oversaw the project should not be allowed to release such subpar content in the future. This cinematic adaptation of Cinderella was a disgrace, tarnishing the beloved story with its lackluster execution.
