Movie: Not Cinderella's Type (2018) **


I thought Not Cinderella's Type was going to be a gentle romantic cheesy movie, but it turned out be an after-school-special-like-film about emotional abuse with a storyline that went all over the place. Let me tell you how it went:
Girl's mom dies when she is little and her uncle and aunt, who already have two daughters, take her in.
Flash forward to 16: A boy runs over the cat her deceased mother gave her (That's the only thing left of her mother).
Boy tries to apologize, but she refused to hear him, so he kind of stalks her at school and beyond.
Boy asks her out, she considers.
When talking about boy to her bestie, she discovers that her male best friend thought they were boyfriend-girlfriend.
Seeing both boys at the same time.
Weird neighbor who never says anything all of a sudden calls her aunt to tattle that the girl is making out with male best friend on the soccer field.
She finally gets fed up with the mean uncle and aunt who treat her like a maid and she speeches at them about how mean they are to her.
Boy comes over and picks her up and takes her back to his house because his dad is certified to host foster kids.
After her uncle and aunt are investigated, she ends up living with boy and his family.
Male best friend failed to be there when she needed him, now he's in the friend zone.
Boy and her go to prom and start dating. Yes, she still lives in his house, but moved out to the pool house.
The end.
  • Cheesy or sentimental: The production was cheap, but not cheesy. Its like they used the producer's house and maybe the director's parents' house for locations.
  • Production value: Low
  • Suspension of belief: High
  • Trope: Cinderella-like story
  • Diversity: Nope. Nada.
  • Paranormal: None.
  • Clownish character: None.
Rating: Not Fun; Two stars because I made it to the end **
I wasted on of my Hoopla credits to watch this.
