Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poor areas who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition（認(rèn)可）or success after a period of obscurity (默默無聞).
Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is presented in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible（看不見的）. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid（侍女） and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing（令…難堪）her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists(曲折故事) to the classic fairy tale. Pleasantly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism(物質(zhì)主義) in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”
