Ella enchanted was a very refreshing movie. This movie is a typical fairy tale with all its elements. You have a prince, elves, giants, well you get the point.

Ella is a girl from the small town of Frell. At birth she was given the magical gift of obedience by a fairy godmother. This magical gift proof to be actually a curse as everyone learned that she always does what she is told. Thanks to this magical gift, Ella is tricked into attempting to kill the prince (the love of her life) by the prince’s evil uncle. Even though the story line was very similar to other fairy tales and the movie was totally predictable. I found the movie Ella Enchanted to be very refreshing and outright clean fun for the whole family.
This is why I gave this a four planets rating for its story line.

Special effects where very good. I found myself been transported into this mystical and magical world. In multiple occations I almost forgot that I was watching a movie. But At times, in some scenes the special effects distracted me and took me out of the fantasy and into the real world. One example of this was the Ogre’s mask on every scene that they were in. My oppinion is that it was done intentionally to make the Ogres less fraightening for the kids.
For Special Effect I give this movie: three planets.

In my opinion the ending could make or break a movie. The ending of the movie Ella Enchanted was full of joy, singing, and all the predictable items that one could find in a typical fairy tale. The ending brought climax to the movie and a sense of satisfaction. I would have to say that I love the ending and enjoy it since one doesn't typically get the luxury to have endings like this in a movie.
For Ending I give this movie: five planets.

I would have to say that I really enjoy this movie and would not might watching it over and over again with my whole family. I found elements of fantasy, romance, comedy, and drama among others which are necessary elements on a recipe of a feel good movie.
I really recommend this movie and give my total rating of four planets.
