Ella Enchanted
A fairytale comedy about a girl under an "Obedience" spell who ends up happily ever after with a Prince. The "Obedience" spell causes the girl to obey all instructions given to her, no matter who gives them and she has to carry out those instructions, even if it is killing the man she loves. But of course, there is a happy ending, with the wicked punished and the good rewarded.
A typical "Cinderella" tale re-enacted with slight variations countless times, so what makes this movie any different? Not very much but I will still recommend if you want to watch a really enjoyable romantic comedy. Further I have a gut feel that the two leads (Anne Hathaway and Hugh Dancy) are destined for wonderful acting careers ahead. Catch this movie if you want to become an early fan and when they are mega-stars like Julia and Brad, you can tell everyone that you have been their fan since the beginning. I must confess that I was already an "Anne Hathaway" fan before this movie. She is gorgeous, has acting ability and in this movie, I realised she can sing too! Of course, after checking out some of her fan sites, I realised that she has Broadway experience so her singing abilities are not as surprising as I thought.
A movie to catch if you want to watch a happy movie that is not sappy, acting ability and of course eye candy! My copy of the VCD is available if any of you are interested!
