Description
Anne Hathaway, the delightful star of THE PRINCESS DIARIES, is Ella in the charming fairy tale adventure ELLA ENCHANTED. On the day of her birth, Ella is given a gift by her Fairy Godmother -- the gift of obedience, which is also a curse. Under no circumstances can Ella refuse anything she is asked to do, no matter how wicked it may be. Tired of being taken advantage of, Ella, with a talking book as her companion, leaves home to find her Fairy Godmother and return her unwanted gift. This simple errand soon turns into an amazing journey filled with ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, elves, and the plotting of Prince Charmont's evil uncle who wants to take over the Crown and rule the kingdom. Bursting with colorful characters, music, wit, and whimsy, ELLA ENCHANTED is a truly enchanting and heartwarming tale that will captivate the entire family.

Fairy tales and contemporary satire collide in Ella Enchanted, based upon the enormously popular young adult novel by Gail Carson Levine. Ella (Anne Hathaway, The Princess Diaries) received an unfortunate fairy gift in her cradle: No matter what anyone tells her to do, she's compelled to obey. Despite this, Ella grows up to be a headstrong young woman who refuses to swoon at the sight of a charming young prince (Hugh Dancy). To get her gift removed, Ella braves a forest packed with ogres, elves, and giants to find her fairy godmother (Vivica A. Fox, Kill Bill, Vol. 1). Much like Shrek, Ella Enchanted is sprinkled with comic modern references; for some, this will make the whimsy too cute, while others will appreciate the snarky jabs. Also featuring Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Minnie Driver, Joanna Lumley, Eric Idle, and many others. --Bret Fetzer

This is a great movie for women young and old. I love the story line and the charactors. Some of the acting is really bad, too dramtized, but it doesn't stop me from watching this over and over again.
 Hack Movie October 24, 2008
I can't believe that so many people find this movie even slightly interesting. Ella Enchanted is a horrid piece of work as far as film making goes. The acting is one of the worst, next to B-movie quality. The actors sound like they didn't memorize the script and have to read it to us on camera instead. Their performances are phoned in as well, looking awkward and stiff. The timing and delivery of dialog sounds weird and not the way people actually speak. The special effects or CGI shots are third rate as well, I've seen television commercials with better special effects than the ones seen here.
The set designs and set lighting effects look low budget and fake, almost like cardboard quality to it. The cardboard quality look of the sets reminds me of real live plays of I've seen in person, which is okay for a play but unacceptable for a film. There are much better fantasy films than this one. Ella Enchanted is not worth your time or money!
If you want to see other family fantasy movies I recommend: Princess Bride, Willow, Shrek, Enchanted (not to be confused with "Ella Enchanted")
 She isn't Shakespeare's wife... July 14, 2008
So Cinderella comes around fractured with a prince
with a wicked uncle as well as a wicked step mother for ella.
An the enchantment of always doing what she is told
with this beautiful star brings up some startling
fantasies in the male audience?
I like fairy tales and Anne Hathaway,
but I think she deserved a better movie!
The studio special effects in the forest
are kind of poor, as is the dialog in many cases.
The jokes almost come off too.
A little better script with an actress like this and you might of had a classic.
