Synopsis
A rendition of the famous fairy tale with a modern twist that involves some dancing and cellphones. Set at a high school in the San Fernando Valley, this is the story of a "dorky" girl, Sam Martin (Duff), who lives with her stepmother (Coolidge) and stepsisters, after her father dies, and his diner is taken over by his new wife, who used to be a waitress there (and who makes Sam do all the hard work there). Sam has few friends at her high school, where the top of the social ladder is Shelby Cummings (Gonzalo), a girl who is wealthy, spoiled and shallow. Sam's attitude and look changes quickly overnight, however, when her cel phone is found by a mysterious guy (Murray), with whom she soon starts corresponding via notes and e-mails, with the promise looming soon that she will finally get to meet him at the big Halloween school dance. Will Sam be able to overcome the likely obstacles posed by both her step-family and her "dork" status in school?

Critics' reviews
- "A mostly charmless affair."
- "This is simple, lazy storytelling rendered merely functional by appealing leads and the eternal lure of romantic fantasy."
