		Ella of Frell (Anne Hathaway, The Princess Diaries) is born in the land of fairies and fairy tales, a land of witches and spells.
		Ella was rather snooty with Prince Char since she figured it was he rather than his uncle, Sir Edgar who caused all the woes for the elves and giants.
		Ella determines that she must be rid of her curse, but as mentor and nanny Mandy told Ella, the curse could be lifted only by the witch that cast the spell -- Lucinda.

		At birth, Ella is inadvertently cursed by an imprudent fairy named Lucinda, who bestows on her the "gift" of obedience.
		Ella is bound by obedience against her will, and takes matters in her own hands with ambition and verve.
		For young Ella, the heroine of Gail Carson Levine's Newbury Honor-winning debut novel, this is more than a fanciful wish; it could be a matter of life or death.

	Ella Enchanted
		Ella Enchanted was her first children’s book, and an example of what appears to be her particular narrative interest, the re-telling of fairy tales (an entire series of books, the Princess Tales, consists of retellings and original fairy tales).
		Ella Enchanted belongs to a fairly robust genre in contemporary children’s fantasy: the fairy tale retold and extended.
		Thus, Ella Enchanted in some ways is a straight retelling of “Cinderella,”; but it alters the character of the heroine from the traditional tale and expands the presentation of her life before the traditional tale’s beginning.

		Unfortunately for Ella, the conniving Hattie soon discovers the secret of her “gift”, and she will inevitably want to use this for her own means.
		Ella convinces him to entreat the prince for a change of policy so that he can pursue his dream.
		Ella Enchanted had some potential to tell an amusingly skewed fairytale, but unfortunately, it lacks the wit and charm to work.

	DVD Talk Review: Ella Enchanted (Widescreen Edition)
		Ella's cruel stepsisters exploit her obedience after stumbling upon her secret, first seizing her closet space and then forcing her to shoplift and alienate her best friend.
		Ella Enchanted is off-beat enough that it won't appeal to all tastes, and the critical reception definitely appears to be mixed.
		Ella Enchanted is a...dare I say it?...enchanting film that should appeal to the whole family, and even though I'm not even close to fitting into the movie's target demographic, I enjoyed it immensely as well.

	Ella Enchanted
		Ella (Anne Hathaway), a young girl living in the enchanted land of Frell, has a secret: she was "blessed" at birth by her incompetent fairy godmother Lucinda (Vivica A. Fox) with the gift of obedience.
		Ella Enchanted, based on the popular children's book by Gail Carson Levine, is the latest in wholesome fare from Miramax Films.
		Overall, Ella Enchanted is good, clean family fun that will appeal mostly to toddlers and especially to pre-teens who are just beginning to think of boys as something other than yucky.

	Ella Enchanted (2004)
		Narrated by Eric Idle, Ella Enchanted takes place in a mythical kingdom where ogres are disenfranchised and elves resent being on 24-hour call to sing and dance.
		A fair and socially conscious maiden who champions the rights of the downtrodden, Ella bristles at living under Lucinda's spell, which only gets worse when her wicked stepmother (Joanna Lumley, wasted in a tiny role) and bratty stepsisters arrive.
		What Ella Enchanted does have going for it is Hathaway, an appealing girl-next-door ingenue with a disarming smile and sparkle in her eye reminiscent of Julia Roberts.

		The main character, Ella, has a unique curse put on her by a "benefactress" fairy; and if you didn't see all the horrible trailers for the movie that came out based on this book, consider yourself lucky.
		Ella is cursed from birth that she always has to obey any command given her.
		Ella Enchanted was definitely one of the better books, even though I knew what was going to happen.

	"Ella Enchanted" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Ella (Anne Hathaway of “The Princess Diaries”) is a girl born in the magical/fairy tale world that lives in many of our imaginations.
		When Ella is born, her fairy Godmother, Lucinda, gives her the gift of obedience, trying to demonstrate how merely telling the baby to sleep, and wake, are blessings which her mother should be proud.
		Also, when Ella is looking for her “godmother,” Ella and Charr wind up at a giant’s wedding feast and there is inebriation amongst the fairies.

	Movie Info for Ella Enchanted on MSN Movies
		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.
		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.
		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.

	Ella Enchanted Review :: Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Centering on a young damsel's quest to rid herself of an enchanted "gift," Ella Enchanted is a delightful mixture of your favorite fairy tales, with a bit of modern flavor.
		When Ella was born, her fairy godmother Lucinda (Vivica A. Fox) gave her a special gift--obedience--which turns out, Ã la Sleeping Beauty, to be more like a curse.
		Ella has to make the prince realize his uncle is a bad, bad man, help him own up to his kingly responsibilities, restore peace in the land and--of course--fall in love.

	Slant Magazine - DVD Review: Ella Enchanted
		Ella herself is played by Anne "Princess Diaries" Hathaway, she of the distractingly huge eyes, perfect hair, and pleasant demeanor.
		Years later, the teenage Ella has a new evil stepmother, Olga (Joanna Lumley of "Absolutely Fabulous" fame), who's determined to marry one of her girls to the charming Prince Charmont, and is royally peeved that Charmont seems to like Ella better.
		Ella Enchanted is a ramshackle mess that is all the more frustrating for those brief times when it pulls itself together; it raises your expectations before smashing them again.

	Ella Enchanted - ComingSoon.net DVD Reviews
		When young Ella is born in a fairytale land, her misguided fairy godmother Lucinda puts a spell on her.
		Ella is magically forced to obey any order given to her no matter what it is. While it makes Ella a well-behaved child, it also makes her unable to stand up for herself when given an order by friend or foe.
		Ella Enchanted is rated PG for some crude humor and language.

		Anne Hathaway steals and saves the show, exuberant and dazzling as Ella, the plucky maid on a quest to break a charm, free the giants and maybe rescue and marry her Prince Charming along the way.
		Ella, "gifted" with unquestioning obedience by her fairy godmother at birth, wants to speak out against it.
		Ella Enchanted comes off worst in the obvious comparisons to fairytale classic The Princess Bride and the far sprightlier Shrek.

		When Ella was baby, she was given the gift of obedience by her fairy godmother Lucinda (Vivica A. Fox).
		My wife was a big fan of “Ella Enchanted.” She’s a grade school teacher and had read the book upon which this movie is based.
		There are two behind-the-scenes featurettes: “Ella Enchanted Red Carpet Premiere Special” and “The Magical World of Ella Enchanted.” Either one is good in its own right, but it’s a waste of time to watch both.

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'Ella Enchanted'
		"Ella Enchanted," a breezy take on "Cinderella," is likely to cast its spell primarily on adolescent girls, while their elders might well find it more than a little tedious in its familiarity and artificiality.
		Based on Gail Carson Levine's bestselling novel, "Ella Enchanted" has as its special twist Ella's fairy godmother Lucinda (Vivica A. Fox) bestowing upon her the curse of obedience.
		By the time the film is over, its ancient fairy tale form has made the oppression of minorities seem all the more outmoded and has made it equally clear that only Ella, drawing upon inner strength and resolve, can set herself free of her godmother's curse.

		Ella Enchanted was an exciting and thrilling novel of Ella of Frell, a cursed girl at birth that has to obey every single command that she receives.

	Ella Enchanted: by Gail Carson Levine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Ella must obey any order given to her, whether it's hopping on one foot for a day and a half, or chopping off her own head!
		Ella soon realizes that this gift is little better than a curse, for how can she truly be herself if at anytime anyone can order her to hop on one foot, or cut off her hand, or betray her kingdom'and she'll have to obey?
		Against a bold tapestry of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella's quest to break the curse once and for all and discover who she really is is as sharply funny as Catherine, Called Birdy and as richly poignant as Beauty, and has all the marks of a classic in the making.

	DVD review of Ella Enchanted (Widescreen) - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		However, she is wasted in “Ella Enchanted”, a dreadful movie that tries to be a simultaneously light-hearted and serious fairy tale.
		In this regard, one can think of “Ella Enchanted” as a live-action “Shrek”, though this movie is so unbalanced and unfocused that comparing it to “Shrek” would be doing the green guy a disservice.
		Ella’s evil stepsisters find out that they can order her to do what they say, and they try to prevent her from getting close with Prince Charmont.
