Synopsis:
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.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Of a slew of new movies hitting theaters over the Easter weekend, the film receiving the best notices is the family film (from Disney's Miramax division, of all places) Ella Enchanted. This is the best family film so far this year, Roger Ebert concludes in the Chicago Sun-Times. Joel Siegel's take on it on ABC's Good Morning America: Seasoned with a. little Shrek, a dash of Princess Bride and a whole lot of laughs, Ella Enchanted is one family film that will make the whole family feel happily ever after. Not so enchanted, however, is Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Daily News, who writes that the movie is the kind that you want to like more than you actually do. And Liam Lacey in the Toronto Globe and Mail has high praise for the performance of Anne Hathaway, who stars in the title role, The star twinkles, but the vehicle that carries her is a bit of a moldy pumpkin.
