Year: 2004
Director: Tommy O'Haver
Plot: Adapted from author Gail Carson Levine's award-winning children's book of the same name, the Miramax-financed modern fantasy Ella Enchanted is directed by Tommy O'Haver and stars The Princess Diaries alumna Anne Hathaway. Ella (Hathaway) lives in a magical world in which each child, at the moment of their birth, is given a virtuous "gift" from a fairy godmother. Ella's so-called gift, however, is obedience. This birthright proves itself to be quite the curse once Ella finds herself in the hands of several unscrupulous characters whom she quite literally cannot disobey. Determined to gain control of her life and decisions, Ella sets off on a journey she hopes will end with the lifting of the curse in question. The path, however, isn't easy -- Ella must outwit a slew of unpleasant magical creatures ranging from ogres to talking books with evil plots. Though perilous, Ella's adventures turn out to be necessary obstacles in the path toward finding herself, and maybe even true love along the way. Ella Enchanted also features Cary Elwes, who has starred in a fantasy feature himself (the widely acclaimed The Princess Bride), Hugh Dancy, and Patrick Bergin, among others. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Body: I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would. Think of a cross between The Princess Bride and Shrek and you'll have a good idea of the fantasy world that the characters inhabit. The movie would get four stars if a few of the special effects weren't so glaringly bad.

Body: I just got back from seeing "Enchanted" at the theater, and I have to say, I really really liked it. The folks who made this movie made sure to do their homework on all the classic Disney fairy tale movies, and produced something akin to a collage of "Snow White," "Cinderella" and "Splash." There were jabs and inside humor aplenty, but the story itself also managed to be sweet and enjoyable on its own merit. This is the fairy-tale movie for the millennial generation. Sarcastic, but not cynical, sweet, but not saccharine (at least not as far as I was concerned. Guys, feel free to disagree).Anyway, watching "Enchanted" brought to mind all the other fairy tale parodies, updates and mashups that have been made over the years. We've got "Shrek" and its two sequels, "The Princess Bride" and lesser-known movies like "A Simple Wish" (one of my childhood favorites, though I'm afraid its quality hasn't held up much over the years).What do you guys think? Any favorites? Opinions on any of the movies listed or the fractured fairy tale genre in general? What about favorite fairy tale/Disney princess movies? Let's discuss!
