fell flat, 30 September 2005
5/10
Author: no-lie-nat from United States

i have read the book version of Ella Enchanted and it still remains to be one of my favorites. It's magically without being babyish and with just the right amount of humor, wit, and romance. So naturally i went to see the movie version with high hopes. What i got, ahem was singing. the movie brought me to tears with it's butchering of a great story, with its needs to make the story more modern. It's disloyalty to the book made the story seem just silly and without purpose. that's not to say i thought the actors were bad. not true, most of the them were in fact charming and of course nicely played. To those who haven't the book, the movie is simply put, just nice. To those who have, it falls flat.
