Plot: 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.

This is one of my favorite movies. It is a chick flick that even my husband enjoyed, and it's kid friendly too.

One of the worst book-to-movies I've ever seen
Added 12/31/2009

Ugh. This gets second place in my list of worst book-to-movie translations, second only to Eragon. Ella Enchanted is a lovely book, but they absolutely ruined the story in the movie. For one thing, they added a bunch of modern elements, which seemed a little silly, but that wouldn't have been so bad if they'd kept the storyline the same. But no, they had to add a wicked uncle and a very corny, fake-looking talking snake. And even worse, they completely changed the climax. I don't want to give away what the climax is supposed to be (because I want you to read the book, of course!) but I'll just say it's much much deeper than what it was in the movie.
So read the book! :)

Great Anne Hathaway Movie ever!!
Added 12/10/2009

I must say that Anne is better in this movie than the other movies she has done as in both The Princess Diaries along with The Devil Wears Prada and her most recent one: Bride Wars. This movie is quite enchanting i never read the book but I enjoy movies like these just as any other person. The story falls on a girl named Ella whose fairy godmother places what she calls a "gift" yet more like a "curse" on poor innocent Ella yet as she grows up Ella's mother falls ill and sadly departs yet the movie revolves around Ella on the search after leaving her home in Frell along with her evil & quite demanding evil stepmother and her two step sisters to find her fairy godmother to lift the so called curse. Ella comes across all sorts of creatures from ogeres to giants and of course the valiant Prince Charmont. Yet she also falls under another sort of spell with the prince in which that is none other than: love. I highly recommd anyone who likes Anne Hathaway would very much enjoy watching this movie!!

Humor, Music, and Fairytale rolled into one.
Added 9/30/2009

If you like Enchanted, you'll like Ella Enchanted. It has the right mix of humor, music, and a fairytale could love. A nice twist on the typical fairy tale.
