Ella Enchanted is a rather modern, quirky retelling of the classic Cinderella story. Anne Hathaway sparkles as Ella, the young woman with obedience placed upon her, and in this fantasy world, there are ogres, fairies, and elves to deal with. The film has both lighter humor and more profound self-empowerment as Ella tries to take control of her own life. The film's colorful costumes, playful soundtrack, and endearing performances make it a delight to watch. Though it takes creative liberties from the original book, the film's mix of comedy, romance, and adventure will make it an enjoyable fairytale for the magical, feel-good story lover.
