The movie was badly made, with pointless direction and I surely will not watch it again. But don't get me wrong, the movie did try to raise some important issues, and add a 21st century flavor to an ancient fairytale.
All the fairytales are based on a prince rescuing a damsel, and them living happily ever after. This might have been the case a century or more back, but as of today women want more than just a prince. They want to be successful, to be heard, to be respected - and Cinderella did try to involve them all in its plot, however poorly it may have been executed. Also, the stepmother trying to dissuade Cinderella from following her dreams, so that she didn't get hurt as she didn't believe anyone in the society will support her being a woman - a touch of reality there.
Hopefully, the future of fairytales will follow Cinderella's trail :)
