If The Shoe Fits is a modern reworking of the Cinderella legend with Rob Lowe, Jennifer Grey and a whole bunch French players. Just getting a trip to Paris to shoot there would have been reason enough for me to take the roles.

A wardrobe girl at designer Rob Lowe's house of fashion, Jennifer Grey is a bit of a drudge who lives with a pair of models who think they're something special. But one day Grey finds a pair of abandoned shoes who a kind fairy godmother enchants. She wears those and she's Cheryl Tiegs. And does Lowe ever notice, especially since she wants to design shoes for his house.

Lowe's a bit of a stretch as Prince Charming. As is said his world is populated by images of beauty. He finds it hard to relate to people. Not the most charming of fashion princes, but love always has its own reasons.

Lowe, the successor to Tyrone Power in those hero/heel roles and Grey and the rest of the cast perform well in this modern fable of Cinderella. Worth a look if you are a fan of the aging Brat Packer.

I seen this movie over a minute ago as I haven't seen it in a long time as I forgot what the film was about.

Jennifer Grey (from Dirty Dancing) plays Kelly Carter a shoe designer who works for Francisco(played by Rob Lowe)in Salvitare. You see Kelly is a very shy person and she has a thing for Francisco,that is until she meets a mysterious French woman who wants to find a certain place and Kelly happens to be going for an interview to see Francisco about her designs in shoes. But when the mysterious woman fixes Kelly's high heel shoes that were broken,Kelly one night decides to put them on as she is going to a ball hosted by Francisco. Of course when she does put on the shoes that she made herself she is transformed from being a nerdy woman to a beautiful woman.

Problems arises when Francisco meets Kelly (now going by Prudence)and he falls in love with her as Prudence and wants her to be the face for Salvitare. But will Francisco love Kelly for herself or for Prudence? And how far can Kelly go from being herself to Prudence(her alter ego)

Bottom line this Cinderella adapted tale isn't the best I have seen. Its very contrived and lackluster but if you love 90s flicks then check it out.

Good: The setting is nice and the acting is nicely done too Bad: The story has been done to death before but I do love the Cinderella story so I guess that is why I decided to watch it.

Overall its a 3/10

I have been looking to find this film, which is out of production, for some time. I finally found it issued under the title 'Stroke of Midnight'. I thought that the film poster featured a rather exquisite leg that attracted Rob Lowe to fit the magic slipper. I somehow doubt that the leg on the poster belongs to Jennifer Grey.

Well, I must say that this film features a rather portly Jennifer Grey. She has obviously gained several pounds and had a nose job since her 'Dirty Dancing' triumph. It takes a lot of confidence to send Jennifer out as a fashion model. She has some good attributes, but not as a glamor queen. I found her 'Prudence' character bizarre but not stunningly beautiful.

Rob Lowe is over the top here in mannerisms and dress. He is just shy of being gay in his performance. That outrageous jacket he wears at the party is just about covered in gold threads and tassels. I break up in giggles whenever I watch that scene. I bet every hotel doorman longs to wear such a jacket.

Anyway, this is a lighthearted bit of fantasy fluff and mostly succeeds on that level. As another comment has noted, this film came at a low point in both these star's careers. It payed the bills and tided the stars over a rough spot, until they could land better projects.

At least that was true for Rob Lowe. Jennifer Grey never really recovered from her slump. She has mostly done bit parts and TV movies ever since her nose job. I did see the two stars together again in the TV movie 'Outrage'. That drama was hardly any quality improvement over this effort.

Well, Jennifer did her best with the thin plot and managed to provide some interesting scenes. Her collisions with the ugly stepsisters were a hoot. It was good to see her character finally make some headway with her boss, the self-absorbed fool Salvitore. This film would make a perfectly acceptable date film to get her into a romantic mood.
