Her city misadventures eventually lead her to Robert (Patrick Dempsey), a divorce lawyer separated from his wife and trying to raise his daughter Morgan (Rachel Covey) by himself. Problem is, step-mom wouldn't allow anyone to take over her throne so she poses as an old woman and pushes a clueless Giselle into a well that transports to - ahem - our world, where her quixotic perspective sets her apart from everyone else.

They meet, fall in love in a whim, and decide to marry the next day. He turns out to be Prince Edward (James Marsden), a dashing debonair who happens to be the stepson of the wicked witch Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon). There are some funny-scary moments: the fake theatre audience that they make out of broomsticks, old overcoats, and painted faces on paper bags, who are accidentally brought to life, and after the performance, quite reasonably really, want to be put up for the night in a 'decent hotel'.Combining elements of modern day Manhattan with romanticized fairy tale settings, 'Enchanted' tells the story of Giselle (Adams), your typical Disney leading lady living in a cottage, singing with innocent creatures, awaiting the day she would meet her prince charming. It turns out to not be a good idea to just wish to be rich - the ring has its own economical way of balancing things out and determining precisely what it costs you to get rich. When they finally learn that the ring grants wishes, their wishes are almost always not quite put perfectly, and get them into more trouble than they bargain for. Excitement mounts as they slowly unlock its powers, and get advice from the living statues in the garden on how to use the ring and things more strange then their wildest dreams come to life. It gives them wild adventures with invisibility, crooks who rob stately homes, and a giant dinosaur in the garden.

The sleeping princess they awaken with a kiss in the enchanted garden may be playing some tricks on them - to her all the magic is pure imagination - but soon they stumble across a magical ring that has belonged to the house for many centuries.

A hundred years ago three schoolchildren discovered a secret way into a very grand old English stately home whose family is down on its luck.
