A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story
about a fairytale princess (AMY ADAMS) from the land of Andalasia who is
thrust into the heart of New York City by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON).
Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life
and love after meeting a handsome lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY). Can a storybook
view of romance survive in the real world?

For the lovely Giselle (Adams), life is a fairytale
literally.
She has everything needed to make a perfect princessa beautiful countenance,
a pure heart, a lovely singing voice and an uncanny ability to communicate
with animalsall the good things one would expect in her world of Andalasia
which just happens to be animated. Giselles wish to meet the handsome
prince of her dreams and share true loves kiss comes true
when Prince Edward (JAMES MARSDEN) hears her lilting soprano raised in song
and rushes to her side.
The very next day, on her way to wed Edward, Giselle falls under the spell
(literally) of Queen Narissa (Sarandon), who will stop at nothing to keep
this girl away from her throne. Giselle is banished to a place as far away
from this fairytale kingdom as you can get
no longer an animated character
in a colorful, musical land, she is transformed into a very real woman and
transported to a very unmagical place: modern day Manhattan.
Coming to her aid in this strange new place, the almost-princess is befriended
by a no-nonsense divorce lawyer, Robert (Dempsey), and his young daughter,
Morgan (RACHEL COVEY). When Giselles no-longer-animated Prince Edward,
along with his servant, Nathaniel (TIMOTHY SPALL), and Giselles best-friend

colliding and finds herself wondering whether her storybook view of romance,
complete with happily every after, can survive in our world.
