Enchanted!

This weekend, I saw the movie Enchanted with the little girls I babysit. I have to say, it was really cute. It started out the typical fairytale. A beautiful maiden named Giselle was singing in the forest, hoping to one day find her true love. Then, a handsome prince sweeps her off her feet, saving her from a nasty troll, and hoping to marry her the next day. Giselle goes to the wedding, but is pushed into a fountain by her evil stepmother. She ends up in New York City, and is in disbelief about how everyone is so cold, and mean. Then, she is taken home by a handsome lawyer by the request of his daughter. Giselle originally believes in love at first sight, but ends up taking a different view on love. Her prince charming comes to rescue her the next day, but Giselle is not in love with him any more. They go to a ball in New York City, and you can tell she is really in love with the real life man. But it's not over yet. The evil stepmother comes to the ball, and poisons Giselle. She is awakened not by the prince, but the real man's kiss. The stepmother attempts to take over everything, but is slayed by Giselle and her true love. It ends with Giselle still in New York, and the prince with the lawyer's ex-girlfriend back in the fairytale land. Everything still ends up happily ever after, but not in the typical sense of a fairytale.
