For most of my life I knew this movie as the movie my brother admitted had exceeded his expectations the most.
You have no reason to expect this movie to be that good from eyeballing its poster or hearing its premise.
I am struggling to think of what anyone can really say about it except that it is simply a case of a hundred things being done 1% better. The character writing, the enchanting (oops, sorry) production design, the epic physical comedy as we see this girl literally do whatever she is told to do (and often interpret is literally) and the story telling make this a memorable experience.
The theme curiously enough is prejudice and beating stereotypes which I suppose plays into feminist undertones as we battle to be something much better than an "obedient" daughter.
I'm tempted to say there is at least one plot-hole by the very premise and the third kind of doubles down on it but this was just a lot of fun...
Some people think it's based on Cinderella but that is a stretch at best.
