Excellent but underrated film

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The Cinderella story is here flipped with the guy put upon and the girl the equivalent of a Princess. Hot, believable leads do not in any way cover the think and often poorly edited plot line. The setting of romantic comedy is usually a travelogue of an interesting place however the film is not set in any tourist destination cutting out this important element of romantic comedy and weakening the plot. Worth watching through primarily for the hot leads and some good photography but not competitive as far as one of the better romantic comedies. The evil stepsisters recast as evil brothers is one of the better aspects of the film.

This was a thoroughly charming take on the classic Cinderella Story with a bullied and abused lawyer in the Cinderella role and a newly appointed company CEO as the "princess" charming. Loved how the shoes were worked into the story line, along with the self-serving step-father, and step-brother types in roles of partner owner of law firm and lazy sons. The niece role worked nicely as fairy-godmother type. The Halloween costume party was a nice layer to provide costume and mask to hide the identities. The conclusion was very satisfying and did not feel rush like some hallmark movies have. Looking forward to next season's crop of Hallmark's seasonal movies.

I would not call this film a romantic comedy, it is not a laugh out loud film. I would call this Mills and Boon on the big screen. It is the classic girl meets boy with the traditional bad guys. I have to say that what sets this film apart is Autumn Reisser she is a delightful actress, one of those women any mother would love to have as a daughter in law. Back to the film, Midnight Masquerade is a delightful film and I have watched it four times already and like it each time. Every actor is exceptional the niece the leading man even the bad guys. I like the film so much I am waiting eagerly for the film to be released on DVD. So if you have an afternoon spare and you see Midnight Masquerade in your TV listing, take the time out and watch it you will not be disappointed.

This is nothing more than a poor interpretation of the Cinderella story done with the gender roles reversed. The acting is atrocious and the story is completely unbelievable. If they were going to make a fantasy, they should have made it more "fantastic."It is made completely unbelievable because the evil family and the male lead are all lawyers -- a group known for being type-A alpha males. Cinder-guy is completely spineless and would never have made it through any law school let alone gotten an actual job. I bailed before the princess' "mask ball" (Halloween party) was over so I can only assume that it played out as expected with the evil "step-brothers" being revealed and Cinder-guy getting the princess.
