Mary Santiago has that secret dream,too.Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story,a film set in a U.S.high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance.Compared with other girls,she is invisible.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 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 her.
The story,though it mostly follows Cinderella,does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly,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 in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping-off point,” writes the movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”
