Cintia is modern princess, she's connected, decided and loves music. This "pop" princess used to live with their parents in a huge castle with a nice view to the city. Every night she looked through the window and watch the view dreaming with a prince she didn't met yet. But one day her castle crumbles with everything around her, after her parents divorce she went to live with her aunt and stops believing in love. What she didn't knew was that there was a charming prince in her history, that wanted to break the ice around our modern day cinderella.
DJ Cinderella is a Brazilian teen romance that modernizes the classic Cinderella fairy tale with a music-driven twist, but the execution is fairly formulaic. The plot hits predictable beats — family disruption, lost faith in love, charming prince arrives — without subverting or deepening the source material meaningfully. Acting is competent for its target demographic but unremarkable. Cinematography is decent with some appealing visual energy befitting a pop-flavored teen film. Novelty is low given the well-worn YA Cinderella retelling formula, even with the DJ angle. The ending resolves warmly but unsurprisingly, satisfying its audience without earning distinction.
