Takes the Disney princess and puts her in the real world, creating a chick flick with a little bit of edge, a whole lot of heart and and even more chemistry between the film's two leads.

He pays her $3,000 and they fall in love -- ain't Hollywood grand?

The movie itself, a modern update of the Cinderella story, is as contrived as you get--isn't that not-so-secretly what we want?--but at no point is Roberts' performance

It's saying Roberts' character becomes a better person when she lands a rich guy and learns to cry at the opera.
