Sometimes the blessing of a fairy godmother can make your life miserable. Annoyed with her infant ways Ella's enchanted benefactor decides to give her the gift of doing whatever anyone tells her to do.
She has to hide her obedience from those around her to keep from being taken advantage of, but naturally someone with unfriendly intentions finds out and makes her do whatever they want. Ella tries to just take this all in stride and find ways to get along in her fanciful world.
Anne Hathaway positively charms the pants off the most grizzled cynic in this film. Look for nice performances by Minnie Driver and Vivica A. Fox too.
Since this follows a standard fantasy plot line, naturally the prince of the land falls in love with Ella. She tries desperately to avoid giving away her nature and he's confused but still loves her.
From the library summery, "In a bid to regain control of her life, Ella goes on a quest to free herself from this mysterious "gift". Ella must outwit a kingdom filled with ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, talking books and other various evil plots."
Look in Bandon and Coquille for this sweet DVD. Plenty of entertainment for the whole family.
