Bis sich dessen Gefühle melden. Doch dann kommt Märchenprinz Edward (James Marsden), um Giselle zurückzuholen.
Mit einer dicken Portion Ironie kollidieren überzuckerte Kitsch-Märchenfiguren im heutigen Lärm der Großstadt New Yorks mit desillusionierten Menschen, die an nichts mehr glauben. Kevin Lima ("König der Löwen") stellt in dem Weihnachts-Highlight Disney-Klassiker auf den Kopf.
The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
