Wissenswertes
The first song Ella sings, "Somebody to Love" was not the original song choice. Tommy O'Haver had discovered that Anne Hathaway didn't have very good chemistry with their first choice, a more classical "fairy-tale" song. O'Haver and Hathaway were relaxing when she starting singing along and dancing to the song that was currently playing: Queen's "Somebody to Love". They both decided that "this was it".

Patzer
Ella's enchantment fails on at least two occasions: when Prince Charmont says "Allow me" and she continues to refuse his help, and when Slannen says "Forget it" and she continues to discuss his legal aspirations. The earlier "bite me" scene established that Ella's enchantment takes colloquial "commands" literally, thus she should have allowed Char to help her, and literally forgotten about Slannen's peeves.

Zitate
Char: Kiss me...
[Ella leans in]
Char: That wasn't an order.
Ella: I know.
[kisses him]

Crazy Credits
The cityscape of the Miramax logo dissolves into the cityscape of the medieval city in the movie.

Alternative Versionen
An extended version of this film is only available on Sky Cinema. Some of the changes include: Char and Uncle Edgar's extended talk in the carriage. Sloan talking to Ella about the Brother Grimns after the elves were arrested instead of during the day. The fight scene with Char and the Ogres is extended. The song If You Believe which was co written by Brian Adams, is cut and replaced with a different song during the ending credits. The song When You Believe doesn't play in the film when Hattie is talking about Char. Theatrical 91 minutes Extended 96 minutes.

A cute fantasy

Boy, I'm glad I saw this movie before reading the comments here. I found this film to be delightfully funny and sweet. sure it's utter predictable but so what? Yes, in the 'fractured fairy tale' department it's a far cry from the genius of Princess Bride or Shrek, but it's an entertaining enough 90 minutes. The effects are decent (they can't all be Lord of the Rings perfect) and I found myself laughing frequently.

I'm certainly glad I was completely unaware that this was based on a book as most of the negative comments here seem to be from people who complain about changes. I can say, that not knowing the original, this story flowed just fine. Certainly, if one were to over-analyze the plot one could come up with innumerable ideas based on the idea 'if she must always obey, why doesn't this happen?' but that's not really the point here is it? it's a fairy tale for young girls. My partner's 18 year old little sister (who made me watch this as I never would have on my own) loved it, and I had to admit that I liked it enough to give it a thumbs up 7 out of 10 rating.
