Show Notes
"Droughts are for poor people. You think J-Lo has a brown lawn? People who use extra water have extra class." We watched "A Cinderella Story" with our friend Gabe Muñoz, and we've written this entire synopsis using T9 texting. Our gal, Hilary Duff, is having a moment with her new album release, so we took a stroll down memory lane and watched this early aughts modern fairy tale classic. For a teen romance based on a fairy tale, this didn't need to be as charming as it is, and a lot of that charm can be attributed to the stellar supporting cast - Regina King and Jennifer Coolidge in the same movie… fierce. Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray are Millennial royalty, but Jennifer and Regina as "wicked stepmother" Fiona and "fairy godmother" Rhonda are giving us everything - comedy, looks, a cat fight. It's like a "Drag Race" acting challenge come to life. This movie, like Hilary herself, has given way to some classic memes and has become woven into our collective consciousness. Like Hilary taught us - "laugh out loud."
