Title: Another sad princess story
Product review: ' "Ella Enchanted", a new movie based on the successful children's novel by Gail Carson Levine...' Nothing could be further from the truth. Plot alterations, character revision, the addition of a stereotyped Hollywood villain, and musical numbers...all dilute the original message of Levine to produce yet another sad princess story.The film struggles in its delivery of themes such as equality and girl-power without the enchantment of "Ever After" or the wit of "Shrek". It's only saving grace is the attempts to make the story more accessible to tweens/teenagers with shop-lifting, fanclubs, popified medieval gear and pin-up boy Hugh Dancy.One star for effort. Sad, sad, sad.
