I had the option to turn this off and did not bother to.

Is the only praise that I can offer.

Oh I know the story is silly and hopelessly childish, but is so adorable. The actors and actresses all seemed to have immense fun and were utterly charming, especially Anne Hathaway and Hugh Dancy that had really good on-screen chemistry.

I’ve only seen this movie once, and it was pretty forgettable, except I could not forget it. The premise kept me up nights and revealed to me that I possessed the same cursed gift. How did I get to be this person? Understandably, being a mother is a slippery slope of perpetual acquiescence, but I had somehow been reprogrammed and became the Accommodator! So I decided to reverse engineer this creation and find out how it had gone so wrong. I picked my battles carefully and re-positioned my boundaries until I was Ella no more and had morphed into Norma Rae!

The whole premise felt quite poorly implemented as it wasn't very precise how the curse/gift worked. What exactly constituted a command? I spent the whole film contemplating the mechanics of it rather than watching the film.
Shame since the Hathaway and Dancy are both great actors although this possibly is not their best piece.

Mala.

Apparently quite different to its source material, this rather undercooked live-action retreat of Shrek tries to have it both ways. It's fun to see the rather lazily realized magical world populated by all sorts of skin colors without anyone commenting upon it, but then, the heroine's best friend played by Parminder Nagra is reduced from the novel to nothing more than a walk-on part in the film, and Vivica A. Fox camps it up badly as a garish-looking ghetto fairy godmother, defined only by her incompetence and ignorance. Anne Hathaway is, as always, very watchable, though not helped by the material. The anachronistic touches are alternately fun and dumb, but the mostly spirited and wildly overacting cast carries the fairly compelling, if underused concept of the film to the joyful end. Almost.

Lindo musical. A história de fundo, embora simples, trás a moral de que podemos resistir a qualquer feitiço, mesmo que seja uma maldição de nascença que guiou toda a sua vida. Ella é politizada, inteligente, bondosa e acima de tudo obediente. Tudo isso a conduziu ao seu próprio final feliz.

An enjoyable fairy tale romp in which I was amazed at how much Hugh Dancy looks like Will Young. Seriously, Google that.

First time seeing this, and I'm very glad I did. Super entertaining, clever twist on fairy tales, and Anne Hathaway is so adorable I want to die.
