If you are a Disney movies fan like Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-white, and other Disney movies, you should stream that too with the twist of modern era touch. This time Disney flipped the gender role. In Disney’s other movies, it was always the male lead who was rich and famous, the prince of the kingdom, and the female lead was always a struggling daughter, but it is a flip in this movie. It will be interesting to watch the other side of the story.
But if you are not a Disney fan and still want to entertain yourself, you should stream it. It will be a fun movie to stream.
