Since she depends on Fiona for school money, Sam tolerates a life of slavery and waits on her family hand and foot working 7 days a week in a diner her father once owned. She hooks up by e-mail with a mysterious boy Austin (Chad Michael Murray) who just happens to be the most popular guy in school.

A lost cell phone replaces the slipper and all comes together in the last reel with the evil stepmother and daughters getting their due. Sam emerges a winner in this modern Cinderalla story. It is fun and the teens should really enjoy the film.
