Now I'm a big fan of a good pygmalion story, but despite the great trailer this was anything but. Let's call this a time where expectations didn't align with actual product. I was anticipating a Cinderella and the Four Knights-Birth of a Beauty smash up. What I saw was an infomercial colliding with a B-grade movie. I'm sort of shocked that I actually watched the entire thing.

This felt like a formula gone wrong. All the elements were in place--an interesting premise, a setting with potential and beautiful actors, But all the good ingredients rendered was an extended and mildly confusing commercial. The storyline was a bit like a bumper car ride with each jolt spinning me in another direction. Transitions were non-existent. The characters were strange, wispy, and dreamlike...like Alice in Wonderland/Edward Scissorhands/Warehouse 13 odd with unfleshed motivations.
