Who doesn't remember Drew Barrymore in that beautiful Cinderella dress? Everyone went crazy for Ever After when it was released back in 1998, and for good reason - it's definitely one of the best chick flicks of all time. Based loosely on the fairytale of Cinderella, the film is set in France during the exciting Renaissance era.
The interesting thing about this version of Cinderella is that it has a bit of a feminist twist. We still have the evil stepmother and stepsisters (though one of them is kind of nice), but this Cinderella doesn't need anybody to rescue here. She knows how to get herself out of this mess and even saves the prince, too! It's refreshing to see a Cinderella who knows what she's doing and who takes her destiny into her own hands.
