Review in Bahasa by Denny at Exodiac.com :
Dalam perjalanan menuju ke acara pernikahannya dengan Pangeran Edward, Giselle sang calon Putri Andalasia dicegat seorang nenek buruk rupa yang memaksanya mampir ke sebuah sumur permintaan. Nenek ini sejatinya adalah Narissa sang Ratu jahat yang tidak menghendaki Giselle menikah dengan Edward. Alih-alih mengabulkan permintaannya sumur yang ternyata adalah sebuah portal itu melempar Giselle ke belantara kota New York yang keras dan kejam. Nasib mempertemukannya dengan Robert, seorang pengacara yang mempunyai 1 anak dan seorang calon istri baru. Bersama Robert, Giselle menjalani hidup yang menyenangkan di kota New York. Akankah Giselle jatuh hati kepada Robert? Bagaimana dengan Edward yang akhirnya menyusul Giselle ke New York? Apakah Narissa juga tinggal diam?
Enchanted story, enchanted song
Film ini merupakan gabungan live action dengan animasi dan disajikan secara musikal. Kalo soal yang begini Disney emang jagonya. Di awal film saat masih animasi aspect ratio nya 3:4 tapi langsung berubah menjadi 16:9 saat adegan dengan live action di kota New York. Jalan ceritanya mengalir tanpa kita harus mengernyitkan kening kepala dan menghibur dengan lagu dan tarian yang bagus. Cuma kali ini make-upnya terlalu biasa, sehingga di beberapa adegan agak terlihat awut-awutan. Chemistry antar Amy Adams dan Patrick Dempsey bolehlah. James Marsden lagi-lagi dapet peran loser (setelah X Men Trilogy dan Superman Returns) hehehe. Sedang Susan Sarandon sebagai Narissa menurutku peran yang sangat gampang baginya. Eh ya naga yang tampil di film ini mirip ama naga di Dragonheart, bedanya disini agak cantik.
Review in English by Steve Rhodes at allmoviephoto.com :
Wonderfully sweet and thoroughly enjoyable, ELLA ENCHANTED is like a live-action SHREK. This twist on the Cinderella story is complete with a handsome prince and evil stepsisters. The supremely likeable Anne Hathaway (THE PRINCESS DIARIES) plays Ella, a girl who wants to change a kingdom and who falls in love with a prince, known by his teenage fan club as Prince Char (Hugh Dancy).
The movie is set in a funny faux medieval village that looks like a new MedievalLand at Disneyland. Mixed with the ersatz scenery is very modern music and dialog, which makes for a magical and inviting kids' movie that will charm the adults as well. The humans share the kingdom with ogres, giants and elves, who are all mistreated, thanks to the evil regent, Prince Edgar (Cary Elwes), who is ruling the country until Prince Char ascends to the throne. One elf, Slannen (Aidan McArdle), wants to be a lawyer, but elves are only permitted to do singing, dancing and tomfoolery. Ella strives to be the voice of the downtrodden non-humans citizens of the land.
As a baby, Ella was cursed with "the gift of obedience" by a mischievous fairy (Vivica A. Fox). Ever since then, Ella snaps her shoulders back and speeds off to do anything asked of her. Most people in this fairytale remain oblivious to the secret reason behind Ella's strange behavior. Usually her "gift" ends up getting her into no end of trouble, as when her stepsisters, Hattie and Olive (played poorly by Lucy Punch and Jennifer Higham), tell her to steal stuff at a market. Sometimes it works the other way around, as when a mean kid tells her, "Bite me!"
The old songs are good-spirited and done joyfully, and the film's many special effects are imaginative. The script is a riot with funny little bits everywhere. Some of the best of these blink-and-you'll-miss items are the parchment recycle bin in the library, the hand-operated escalator in the town's pseudo mall, the newspaper ad for an "abacus programmer" and the book on Fairy Mandy's (Minnie Driver) bookshelf. Fairy Mandy, probably one of the worst fairies on record, has "Spells 101 for Dummies" prominently displayed on her sparse bookcase.
As the clock ticks down to midnight, the prince admonishes Ella not to believe everything thing she has read about him in "Medieval Teens." I hope I won't be giving anything away to say that they end up living happily ever after. This pleases every group but one. Prince Char's fan club is left in tears after seeing their hunk married.
ELLA ENCHANTED runs 1:35. It is rated PG for "some crude humor and language" and would be acceptable for all ages.
