Favorite scene with Ella Richards (Jaicy Elliot) - Getting her Cinderella Story during her Fashion Shoot when Annie wants to go into Business with her and Candice Huffine Models her Design. Getting her Prince - Derek. BTW #1, Ella - and Jaicy Elliot - Rocked! BTW #2, I Loved this movie! Set in New York.

It was predictable, but so delicious that I don't care. Just lovely. Would watch this again and again. Loved the cast. Loved the direction. Loved the fashion. A true treat.

Instead of a typical, stale plot, this movie made statements without preaching, and the romance was secondary. The chemistry between the leads was not forced or cringeworthy, but easy and believable. The lead actors were so natural and really likable that the story was a pleasure to watch. The movie flowed beautifully and I sincerely hope Hallmark makes more of these types of movies.

Juicy Elliot proves she is more than just the supporting character she plays on Grey's Anatomy. A sweet story that focuses more on the body positivity side than it does the romance. It's a sweet and refreshing modern take on Cinderella and honestly, it took me a while to catch on to that. The ending wrapped up a tad confusing but overall this is worth the watch.

Bravo Hallmark, I love everything about this movie. Please make more of them, the actors, the plot, the message, the diversity, it's all wonderful. Bravo to a job well done for Big Ladies everywhere. Loved IT!

Great message, and an important one. One of the best movies Hallmark has put out in quite some time. A believable pairing with real chemistry between the leads. I really wish writers would aim to get away from including somewhat awkward dance scenes as filler in every film, this one included. Also, the ending felt a bit contrived, especially with the naysayers suddenly seeing the light, but all in all, very enjoyable.
