The tale follows the beautiful princess Giselle as she is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land–and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn’t operate on a “happily ever after” basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid–even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home–she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

Since I usually prefer to watch horror/thriller/mystery/suspense genre movies (as they’re my favorites), I was very skeptical about this one. And the way it began, I really started cursing myself for renting it. However, after the first ten minutes, when Giselle falls in the well and pops out in New York, the movie started to entertain me. And thereafter, it really was a pleasant surprise. The actors delivered fine performances and the little cute girl was excellent. All in all, it was a nice experience, for a little change for me. Highly recommended watch!!!
