Review of Ella Enchanted (2004) by Shelby H — 28 Aug 2009
Yet another "Cinderella" story with a twist. The problem is the twist isn't very good. From the beginning, it is too much whimsy and fluff. Don't get me wrong I love the actors just not the characters.
The music they choose is all wrong for the scenes. Anne Hathaway's character is too sweet and not enough strong like when she played Mia in "The Princess Diaries". Eric Idle's narrative was all poem and no point.
With his personality, a little funny could have been thrown into it. The only pleasant surprise was Cary Elwes (aka Westley from "Princess Bride") as the bad guy. This was one of those train wrecks where you couldn't look away.
