Another Cinderella Story is a 2008 musical romantic comedy directed by Damon Santostefano and starring Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley. The film was released direct-to-DVD by Warner Premiere on September 16, 2008.[1] It was released on DVD in the UK on October 27, 2008.[2] It is a thematic sequel to the 2004 film A Cinderella Story, reprising the same themes and situations but not containing any characters from the earlier movie. The movie was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada throughout January 2008,[3] and was essentially ignored by critics, but ranked as the number one cable movie in several key demographics when aired on the ABC Family on January 19, 2009. The soundtrack reached number eight on Billboard's soundtrack chart, with one single charting at position 58 on the Billboard Hot 100.
[edit] PlotThis movie is a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale, with Mary Santiago (Selena Gomez), a high school student with ambitions of becoming a dancer taking the role of Cinderella; Dominique Blatt (Jane Lynch) taking the role of the stepmother; Britt (Emily Perkins) and Bree (Katharine Isabelle) as the two stepsisters; and Joey Parker, (Drew Seeley) now a famous celebrity that has returned to school for his senior year (and also to find a girl to love, which is Mary Santiago), as the prince. A school dance substitutes for the ball, with the role of the glass slippers filled by a Zune. [4] [edit] Reception[edit] CriticsAmber Wilkinson of Eye For Film gave the film three out of five stars, saying that it was better than its predecessor, and praised the musical aspects, saying that "the song and dance numbers are so well-handled and catchy, it's a shame there aren't more of them." However, she also said that the "char[a]cters are so wafer thin they barely cast a shadow."[5] While Wilkinson says that the film is completely different from A Cinderella Story, Lacey Walker, reviewing for Christian Answers, notes several aspects of the two films that were directly parallel to each other. Walker also gave it three out of five stars, praising the script, saying the writers "peppered this story with a surprising dose of humor and some pleasing plot twists." However, Walker specifically criticized the conspicuous age difference between the 15 year old Gomez and the 25 year old Seeley, noting that the movie was too sexualized and didn't recommend it for children.[6] [edit] Cast

[edit] "Tell Me Something I Don't Know"
"Tell Me Something I Don't Know" by Selena Gomez was released as a single on August 7, 2008 on iTunes and a Radio Disney version (which removes the Hurricane Katrina reference) was released on September 9, 2008 on iTunes. The song was also featured on the Kidz Bop 15 CD. A new version of the song is featured on Selena Gomez & the Scene's debut album, Kiss & Tell.
The music video starts with scenes reminiscent of (but not from) the film; Gomez cleaning a house and the maid yelling at her. Gomez then leaves the house and does a dance routine with her backup dancers, while the maid watches from the house window. The video also features Gomez in front of a black background with lyrics from the song (such as "I'm ready for it" and "One in a million") flying around her.[10]
