Teen queen Hilary Duff stars alongside Chad Michael Murray in a twisted update of the classic Cinderella fairytale. Replace the glass slipper with a cell phone, prince charming with a high school quarterback and the castle with a house in the suburbs and you've got A Cinderella Story.

Hilary plays Sam, a high school girl who lost her father in an earthquake and is forced to live with her Botox-happy stepmother and two cruel stepsisters. Sam dreams of going to Princeton (because that's where the princes live) but until then she has to endure long hours scrubbing floors at her stepmother's diner. Sam is only truly happy when she's exchanging text messages with her mystery crush. With the help of the diner manager (aka fairy godmother) Sam devises a plan to meet her prince at the Halloween dance, but when she discovers that he's the school's most popular boy, her insecurities take hold and she's not sure if her true self will be enough to win him over.

Although Hilary is one of the most popular teen personas in the entertainment industry today, she managed to play the part of a sweet, high school nobody well. Chad Michael Murray's uber popular high school boy character was a little harder to swallow -considering he's been out of high school for the better part of a decade. And while Jennifer Coolidge is hilarious as the wicked stepmother, the half dozen salmon-related jokes did, for lack of a better word, get fishy.
