Rags is a Nickelodeon Original Movie. It is a musical gender switched inversion of the Cinderella fairy tale, starring Max Schneider, Keke Palmer, Drake Bell, Avan Jogia and Nick Cannon. The movie premiered on Nickelodeon in May 28, 2012.
The film was released on August 28, 2012 as a double feature with Big Time Movie.
Rags follows the story of character Charlie Prince (Max Schneider), who lives with his mean stepfather Arthur (), spoiled stepbrother Andrew (), and nicer stepbrother Lloyd (). The story also follows Kadee Worth (Keke Palmer), a superstar with an overprotective music mogul father Reginald Worth (Isaiah Mustafa) and his personal assistant Erma (Devon Weigel).
The film begins with Shawn's (Drake Bell) narration that leads into the opening scene, depicting a street performance by Charlie with him performing with several dancers while trying to earn money. Shawn appears in the scene and observes Charlie perform a song entitled, Someday. Afterwards, Shawn states that the next time he sees Charlie; he wants it to be on the cover of an album. Charlie sees Kadee Worth on the side of a bus and the scene then cuts to Kadee filming the music video for her new song, "Love You, Hate You" and it is revealed to the viewers that Kadee is secretly frustrated with singing songs that other people have chosen for her.
The audience is then shown the karaoke venue that serves as Charlie's home. After talking to Diego and Martha, his parent figures, Charlie is shown singing "Someday" while cleaning the karaoke stage, during which he is interrupted by his stepfather, Arthur, who criticizes him, then has Charlie's stepbrothers Andrew and Lloyd perform their act as "Androyd" (a parody of Jedward) in front of a prospective customer. She, along with most people who see the act, is less than thrilled, but Arthur fails to see the flaws in Androyd's performances.
