Product Description
Ella lives in a fanciful world where children are given a gift from a fairy godmother at their birth. Hers is the gift-& curse of obedience. Ella cannot refuse any command & is often left at the mercy of unscrupulous personalities. She goes on a quest to free herself & must outwit ogres, giants, & evil plots.

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

 My kids love it. June 22, 2009
C. Helmke (Des Moines, Iowa)
My kids have rented this movie from the library so many times that I bought it for them. They can watch this movie over and over. My daughter is 6 and my son is 4 and the both love it. Some of it is over their heads about dealing with equal rights but they still enjoy watching it.

This was the ABSOLUTE WORST book to movie transition i have EVER seen. this book is my absolute favorite EVER and i've read it 15 times. while i understand that a movie can't be exactly like the book, it should at least follow the same basic story line. the only thing that was the same in this was the names of the characters. kind of. i'm not even going to list all of the shortcomings.
read the book. it kicks the movies butt times infinity.
my review in one line: this movie sucks. don't ever watch it. read.
An example of everything that is wrong with Hollywood March 23, 2009
Alaska Raven (Sutton, Alaska)
I read the book and loved it; it said a great deal about finding out who you are and not letting yourself be defined by other people's expectations. The book was clever, funny and very kid friendly. Several of my 5th & 6th grade students went to see the movie and were very disappointed, complaining that it was not at all like the book. I bought the DVD (used) and discovered the kids were right. The movie was terrible. Cleverness and wit had been replaced by potty humor and age-inappropriate situations and dialog. I watched about 20 minutes and turned it off. Don't waste your money on this one- it is just another example of the bozos in Hollywood ruining good book.
 Cute March 2, 2009
T (NC)
Although completely different from the book this movie is based on, this version is quite cute and charming. In fact, to think of it, I enjoyed it even more than the book. Probably because I am an older viewer and I like a good love story. And Ella and Char definitely have good chemistry in this movie. Enjoy!
