The Cinderella story is approached in a completely new light. Our heroine is the ugly stepsister who is trying to make her way in the world with a demanding mother, a simple sister, and a spoiled stepsister. Iris is a fabulous character, and more than I can say for any other production, she seems like a REAL person. She loves her family, and even loves Cinderella, despite the troubles she has with her. This movie is one of the most realistic adaptations I have ever seen!
