the audience applauded

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Best movie ever!

The acting in this movie is really good.

Really just a feel good movie with one of the best actresses of our time. Makes you laugh, smile and really reaches your heart. Absolutely love.

The only thing that this movie really has going for it is that its a bit funny, though a lot of the humor is pretty cheap and unoriginal. The story is poorly executed, partially due to the random bits of narration and the over reliance of characters being dumb. The acting is ok. Some of the actors are terrible, a lot of them are pretty bad. There are a lot of obvious green screens in this movie. The set designs and costumes and effects aren't that great. Its a fun movie, but overall I wouldn't recommend it.

There are films that are meant to be great. Others, however, are just meant to be fun. This film belongs certainly to the second group, having been thought of as a family comedy. The plot is clearly based on Cinderella's tale, but here she is cursed to obey because of a bad-taste gift given by an unconventional fairy godmother. The whole story then develops in her effort to free herself from this gift and the way people take advantage of it to manipulate her. Gradually, everything becomes more predictable and my interest has diminished but never disappeared because it remained funny enough. The way Ella and the Prince know each other is, in my perspective, the poorer solution the script could have created to cross them. The idea of ​​that talking book sounded kind of stupid too. Dialogues and even some jokes are sometimes common and boring. Throughout the film, medieval elements and things from our time (miniskirts, fan clubs, automatic ladders etc.) intentionally intersect and blend. The film also tried to introduce some Disney- style musical moments, but I have some doubts about whether or not it was a good idea.Anne Hathaway, still very young here, excels in her character, adorable and yet full of personality. Hugh Dancy was a satisfactory Prince, the same could be said of Aidan McArdle and Joanna Lumley, who played supporting characters. Cary Elwes was a predictable, weak and rather risible villain, but I think it's the bad idealization of the character and not the actor himself.Overall, this movie is worth it if you just want to laugh a little or spend an hour and a half with family in a nice way. However, if you are looking for a cinematographic work of art, this film is not for you.

Ella Enchanted is based on book, I understand that the filmmakers have taken some liberties with the adaptation and in this case there are six writers credited in this adaptation which rather tells it own story.Ella Enchanted was given the gift of obedience by an obnoxious fairy which causes her problems as she has to literally obey all commands a problem when her stepsisters move in with her As you can gather the film is also a reworking of the Cinderella story made more hip.The casting of Cary Elwes as the villainous uncle of Prince Charming is there to remind you of the far superior The Princess Bride as this film is appalling. It wants to attract the Shrek type of knowing satire but the film is so awkward with some bad special effects such as the CGI snake.Every time the step sisters commanded Ella I cringed. I kept thinking what will happen when men try to command Ella at some point of the movie and what they might get up to. After all this is supposedly a family film.Awful in so many levels (why does Ella's father just disappear from the movie and also not told of her gift) and badly misconceived. The songs were nice though with a cheesy musical finish (borrowed from the Shrek films.)
