Ella is given the \""gift\"" of obedience by her fairy godmother and must do whatever is requested of her. Ella uses her wits to find her fairy godmother and return this \""gift\"". Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: PG Release Date: 22-AUG-2006 Media Type: DVD
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

She isn't Shakespeare's wife...:
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.

Great and easy transaction--fast shipping and product arrived in great condition. I would definitely recommend this seller!
Fun Family film, funny satire.:
I for one really enjoyed Ella Enchanted, a satirical revisiting of Cinderella. I think I liked it better than the more critically acclaimed "Enchanted". Ella will never be a great classic, but it does have its' moments. Like its' young star it is funny, sweet and pretty to look at. This a great tween-age film.
