Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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
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.

4 out of 5 stars fun, looney with a point.......2007-06-14

What would life be like if you obeyed literally everything you were told, even accidently, like "spill the beans"? You'd have no choice if someone found out your secret and used it against you. That's the case here, which gives some food for thought, but with lots of silly stuff, a great song and dance by Hathaway, and, of course, a happy ending with a handsome prince. Purely for fun.

5 out of 5 stars A very cute movie for all ages.......2007-05-23

This movie is appropriate for young children and is also very entertaining for adults. The music in it is wonderful and there are 80's tunes thrown in with some scenes, which is just hilarious. My little girls love it and I enjoy watching it with them. Very cute and harmless, and at the same time entertaining!

5 out of 5 stars Great kids movie!.......2007-05-11

My [...] loves Cinderella, and thinks this is a great movie too. I also enjoy watching it because it makes me feel young again (I always dreamed of owning a unicorn when I was young.) Anne Hathaway is a wonderful tween actress. I've seen her in older portrayals, but she's much better playing younger parts.

My daughter and I love this movie, but it's an either you love it or hate it movie. My husband hates it. I guess that's the reason for the bad and good reviews.

4 out of 5 stars Loved the movie..NOTHING like the book........2007-05-04

My daughter read Ella Enchanted for school and she liked it so much we decided to rent the movie. All throughout, my daughter kept saying, "That's not what happened!" "This is nothing like the book!". I finally just told her to stop and enjoy the movie for what it is. Nice movie, great for tweens, but don't expect it to be like the book.

5 out of 5 stars A NEW CLASSIC.......2007-03-31

I purhased Ella on DVD after my girls started watching it daily. My kids have limits on their TV time, and one movie takes up most of their daily allotment. I know a movie's a hit when my kids would rather watch it than tune into Nickelodean or the Disney channel. This movie will be one of our classics. I'll put it away for a while and every so often the kids will pull it out and watch it every day for a few days then back it will go until the next time.
Ella Enchanted is a new fairy tale that deals with human and civil rights issues in ways children can understand and still be entertained by. The storyline and narration are great, even for kids with short attention spans.
Since ordering the movie, I've also purchased the CD and book. I highly recommend this fun movie.
