A new take on the classic fairy tale of Cinderella: Ella's
father marries an unpleasant woman whose two abusive daughters do their utmost
to make Ella (Anne Hathaway) miserable. In this version Ella is given the "gift"
of obedience at birth by a fairy, and she has no choice but to obey any command,
by anybody. As Ella gets older it becomes more difficult to keep the spell a
secret from people who wish to take advantage of her inability to say no. Also
with Hugh Dancy, Joanna Lumley, Cary Elwes, Minnie Driver and Steve Coogan.
Directed by Tommy O'Haver. [1:36 - PG]
