Truly a camp masterpiece, this wonderful grown-up retelling of the classic fairytale has it all! Cinderella leads a dismal life of cooking, cleaning, scrubbing and sitting at the spinning wheel (which, does more than make thread!) Her stepsisters (one of whom looks like Bette Midler did in the 70's while the other one resembles Columbia from Rocky Horror) are evil, cruel and over sexed as can be. When a great "ball" (orgy) is held at the palace in honor of the impotent prince (my kingdom won't come) her evil stepmother throws her invitation into the fire. The day is saved by her scene-stealing "fairy" godmother, a grossly stereotypical gay black thief who has actually broken into her house with the intention of robbing it. A magic wand in his bag of stolen goods soon turns a watermelon and snails into her horse and carriage. He also uses it's power to give her a special gift that I can only refer to as a "snapper" in this review. This special gift cures the prince's impotence just as the clock strikes midnight and she flees the palace. Sadly, the lucite platform wedgie heel she leaves behind fits every girl in the kingdom so the prince must "frolic" with all of them in search of the girl with the "gift". Finally he finds his princess and after saving fairy godmother from the chopping block, they ride off happily ever after. Songs in this film such as ... My Kingdom Won't Come.... Art To Zebras... Do It To Me... and Ooh, That Snapper... are my favorite part of the film! (There should have had a soundtrack album!) Hopefully some distributor will get this one out on DVD someday soon!

This is a great movie it will have you rolling over laughing . The best is when the "fairy" meets Cinderella ,that is when the movie gets realy good , It is just something you have got to see. Oh and the songs they sing are great sing alongs. Well when you watch the movie you will see for your-self Trust mec you will injoy it and you will be sing the songs too.

PS. Just look for "THE SNAPPER"
