Product Description
This modern-day Cinderella fantasy stars Anne Hathaway as Ella, who lives in a magical world where every child is given a gift by a fairy godmother after they are born. Ella is given the 'gift' of obedience - which soon turns out to be more of a curse, as her thoughtless and selfish father gets re-married after the death of Ella's mother's to a vain and cruel woman with two equally unpleasant daughters - and Ella is spellbound to do everything they tell her to. Determined to track down the godmother who burdened her with this terrible millstone, Ella embarks on a journey that takes in all kinds of magical adventures and fantastical creatures including fairies, elves and ogres, and even a fairy-tale prince (Hugh Dancy).

Format:DVD
okay so when i first picked this up i thought it was just for children but when i watched it it was so good that i had to eat my own words. Anne hathaway is absolutely suited for the role and Hugh Dancy is the next hearthrob and a brilliant actor. The leads spark off eachother beautifully and has many other famous faces and comics such as Minnie Driver. Incredibly romantic and funny. Love the songs i didn't know anne hathaway had such a good voice! If you are thinking of getting this and you are aged 7 and upwards and not cynical you will love this stylish and funny romantic comedy. i only wish i could give it more than five stars!

This film is based on the book of the same title by Gail Levine. The book is equally enjoyable but don't watch this film expecting it to be similar!
Anne Hathaway stars as Ella of Frell, a spunky young woman who was given the gift of obedience at birth. Anything she is told to do she must do, regardless of what it is. When her mother dies, her father remarries the typical "evil stepmother" (wonderfully portrayed by Joanna Lumley), giving Ella two new stepsisters. Unfortunately for Ella, they soon realise she must obey and make her do a variety of things!
Ella realises she must get rid of the "curse" and sets out to find the fairy who cast it to ask her to remove it. The journey is long and hazardous and in the end, Ella learns that what's inside her is stronger than any spell.
A typical fairytale story brought up to date. Younger girls will love it and the introductions of two songs throughout the movie (Somebody to Love and Don't Go Breaking my Heart) also helps keep it fresh and new for older audiences.

This film like any other cinderella story told is of romance and the down trodden young girl who finds her true prince. This version of it is funny,silly and all that,that implies! The song at the end is hilarious a good watch and worth buying!

Well well well
I should warn anyone who has read the book "Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine, that this movie is VERY different. You barely recognize the story you may have read. Read more

Lame
This movie was... okay. Lame, to say the least. Not Anne Hathaway's best movie. Yes, I may have giggled in a few parts, but to be honest, Cary Elwes was what made this movie... Read more

Slight, but brilliant
Ella Enchanted is a comedy take on fairy tales, not quite in the vein of The Princess Bride (though it does feature Cary Elwes, though in a different role -- he's now the villain)... Read more
