The ultimate sleepover movie, A Cinderella Story takes the ages old fairytale and upgrades it to the 21st century. With early 2000s icons like Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray leading the film, it became a staple of its time.
Sam Montgomery (Hillary Duff) is a tomboyish, unpopular girl at school. She has been text messaging a somebody named Nomad for a few months and he asks her to meet him at the Halloween dance at 11:00 in the middle of the dance floor. The only problem is, she must get back to the diner, ran by her wicked Stepmom Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge) by 12 sharp because she is not supposed to be there.
