Ever After: A Cinderella Story is a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale romance starring Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott. After Danielle's father passes away, she is stuck in the care of her greedy step-mother, who will do anything to make sure her own daughter marries into the royal family.
Trivia
- The portrait of Drew Barrymore's character (which is painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in the film) is actually modeled after another Da Vinci Work, "La Scapigliata".
- In actuality, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was painted on wooden panel, making it quite impossible to roll up into a tube.
- The glass slippers were made by Salvatore Ferragamo.
