Thoughts on This Film
Last night I watched Ella Enchanted, which I enjoyed very much. Like Shrek, it is a fairy tale which makes use of classic popular music, though I recognized most or all of the songs in Ella Enchanted and less in Shrek. I particularly liked the cover of Queen's "Somebody to Love." I can't compare it to the book which I haven't read, except to say that the author and others have remarked that the film varies significantly from the book. It shares actor Cary Elwes, and probably other similarities, with The Princess Bride. I can't think of any major reason why kids shouldn't watch it. They would probably love it.
