Psuedo-Movie Critic

Zorro and Cinderella. It’s just BEGGING for mocking jokes.

In case you dunno what the bloody hell I'm talking about, it's A Cinderella Story. Tons of Girl-Type-Persons in my class like it and I was kinda curious about how bad their taste can get. It was on Channel 5.

It's a high school teen movie. Here's the general idea:~

Girl is unpopular idiot. Admires popular jock-hunk who actually has a poetic side. (Haw, haw, haw.) Meets J-H (jock-hunk) online by chance. Establishes relationship but remains anonymous. Causes J-H to dump cheerleader girlfriend. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Plans revenge. Girl dance with J-H during prom but wears mask thingus so J-H still in the dark about girl’s identity. Cheerleader gets revenge but revealing identify and insulting girl. They magically make-up and make out. Eww. End.

Let's put this in pros and cons:~

Pros:

Accurate portrayal of high school hierarchy in America. (Cheerleaders/Mean Queens then Jocks then Jokers then Nice Guys then Goths then Nerd-Geeks then Slacker-Rebels)

No Disney heartwarming shit.

Cons:

Predictable best-friend-is-opposite-sex-but-no-romantic-relationship thingus.

Predictable best-friend-makes-it-big-in-the-end thingus.

Predictable triumph-of-the-downtrodden thingus.

Predictable hero(heroine)-gets-the-girl(guy) thingus.

Bad puns.

Mushy shit.

So, in conclusion, this movie's no big fuzzy deal. I thought the kissing was supposed to be only at the last bit? Way too much, anyway. Should have waited till Dakota Fanning rew up then shot the movie. In fact, all teen/tween movies should have Dakota in them. Sarcasm. Hilary’s okay, I guess. But she's better off as Lizzie McGuire. Or singing. Definitely.

Hmm. That was fun. You know, insulting movies and stuff. Should do this more often.

Oh yah. Zorro and Cinderella (a.k.a Cindy):~

One day, Orro, Zorro’s brother, went to save Cindy from a discriminately evil dragon. After killing the dragon effortlessly in defiance of many laws of science, Orro tried to copy his brother’s style by slashing the letter “O” on the dragon’s forehead. He did three deft slashes. It looked nothing like an “O”. He slashed another few times. It still looked nothing like an “O”. In frustration he slashed frenziedly and screamed, “Why is “O” so @#$%^&* hard to draw!?!”
Cindy shot him in the head. “I can’t have a relationship with a guy with bad penmanship,” she said.
Then she left for some Ben and Jerry. Later, two idiots, Britney and Paris came across Orro and the dragon. “What are those slashes?” Britney asked.
“I think it’s a picture of a bald head,” said Paris.
“Nah, it looks more of like a drug rehabilitation centre,” said Britney.
“Let’s shoot him again for bad penmanship.”
They shot him again.

Okay. Laugh. Thank you.
