[WARNING: THIS DEGRASSI MINI REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS]

I encourage you to go back and read my review of Searching for Sinder3lla Parts 1 and 2.

Now with that in mind, I’m here to say I’ve *almost* done a 180 on my opinion of this mini.  Part three is very predictable…they finally reveal that Holly J is “Sinder3lla.”  However, after watching all three parts at once, it’s really not that bad of a mini.  There’s only two major issues I had with it(which I’ll explain below).  But to be honest, I really like the fact that it’s basically a short prequel to Waiting For A Girl Like You/Somebody, aka the Degrassi Love games special coming to TeenNick in February.

As a matter of fact, it’s pretty similar to a certain mini that aired before the beginning of season six

SEARCHING FOR SINDER3LLA FINAL GRADE: C

Hold up…..

Above I mentioned there were two issues I had with the Searching for Sinder3lla mini:

1) Sav’s acting was horrid.
Sorry dude, but his comedy relief in this mini was awful…it got worse with each part.  In Part 3 there were several weird pauses that made me cringe.  Normally Sav’s awkwardness is at the very least humorous, but in this mini it felt like Ray Ablack was trying to hard to be goofy.

2) TeenNick’s segmentation of the mini.
If Degrassi Party Etiquette is an awesome example of a mini being broken up into parts, then Searching For Sinder3lla is the exact opposite.  TeenNick’s decision break up this 7 minute mini episode into three parts and air it over the course of three weeks was awful…just as awful as it was of them to pull that crap with the Ghost of Degrassi Past mini as well.

No “Part” of Searching for Sinder3lla is strong enough to stand on its own under any circumstance, and that’s why my initial review of Parts 1 and 2 was so incredibly harsh.  It would’ve been so much better if they had just held onto the mini, then aired it as a whole the week before Degrassi Love Games.  Stefan Brogren went to dinner with some people from TeenNick yesterday…God I wish I had been there to tell them to stop acting so dumb sometimes when it comes to Degrassi!

    if they had put this altogether it would have been better, but as a whole it wasn’t that bad, i’m hoping for some more minis to come as well!

    Sorry, kary. I was lied to again. (FUCK people!) the new movie is ACTUALLY going to be called: D: NYC SUMMER OF LOVE. if i can trust these people, innocent when you dream is about clare’s family emergency, and bruce making fun of johnny’s love for alli. Keep on loving you is about kc being surprised at the love he still has for clare.

    I thought Sav acted idiotic on purpose, just for the way the mini was. And I love him so he can do no wrong in my book. I think it was funny!

    Yeah I read that too. I can’t wait for that. I think Anya and sav ‘do it’ and then his arranged wife comes.

    I’m sorry to say i disagree! I thought Sav was very funny in this! I don’t think he looked stupid or awkward at all, or if he did i didn’t notice because i thought it was funny!
