Review of Cruella

Today my mom and I saw Cruella at the theatre in Duluth.  When I was a kid, I saw the cartoon and I thought she was just a mean, old lady who hated Dalmatians.  The live-action movie I saw today tells the story of how Estella became Cruella.  

Estella was a like the class trouble maker.  She was always doing bad things and getting into fights.  She was so bad that she got expelled and had to move to London.  On their to London, her mom stopped at a party for some help.  Estella caused all kinds of trouble.  In the end, Estella's mom met a horrible fate and Estella ended up in London alone.  

In London, Estella met up with two orphan boys who let her stay with them.  For 10 years they grew up on the streets stealing things to survive.  Estella got her dream of working for the one of the best fashion stores doing the cleaning.  It was a horrible job and her boss was a mean, old, cranky fish.

One night, after cleaning, she drank alcohol from her boss's office and she completely ruined the window display.  The next morning, when she was woken up in the window, her boss was angry and fired her.  Right at that time, the best designer in the country came into the store and hired her to be a designer.  That was Estella's dream.

This designer was called the Baroness.  It turns out that the Baroness was a mean, nasty woman who stole other designers work.  Estella was one of her best designers.  Estella found out a lot of bad things about the Baroness and the truth about what happened to her mother and her past.  This made Estella angry and made her want to do bad things.  This is where she became Cruella.

I can't tell you more without giving the movie away, so I will stop here.  What I can tell you is that at the end of the movie, I really liked Cruella.  She is both nice and evil and I can understand both sides of her.

If I had to rate this movie, I would give 5 stars for really awesome and fantastic.

Peace and Love
