Movie Night tonight

It's Friday Night Movie Time! We'll be showing a movie in the Community Room July 30th at 7pm.  Here's the description - can you guess the title? (The movie is rated PG)  We'll have popcorn and drinks too.

The beautiful princess Giselle is banished from the animated land of Andalasia by the evil queen. She finds herself in the gritty streets of the real, modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that does not operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle find herself adrift in a chaotic world that is badly in need of enchantment. Giselle begins to fall in love with the cynical, no-nonsense divorce lawyer who has come to her aid. Little does he realize that this joyful, wide-eyed innocent is about to enchant him.
