The two stories are different as night and day, but "enchanted" and "magic" have some commonality, don't they? When she left Utah as a young widow, Laura Trudeau(Alexa PenaVega) left behind her father, her love of dance -- and an old heartbreak. Now, she must return home to spearhead the renovation of a derelict hotel, which must be restored in time for a Christmas Eve benefit dance performance. But Laura is shocked to learn that her old love, Ricardo Archuleta(Carlos PenaVega), the boy who jilted her for a professional dance career, is the star of the dance benefit. And when his dance partner Taylor walks out on the show for an out-of-town audition, Laura has to step in for her, reawakening her love of the dance, not to mention her old feelings for Ricardo -- a potent combination that has her head spinning.- imdb Director :  Terry Cunningham Writers: Catherine Fridey and Rick Garman THE MOVIE The long and short of it: I really lov...

I don't know why Woody Allen decided to end it that way , but I guess it worked because the movie was not a flop.  It was even a box office success. I know a lot of people like Jasmine.  Most of the time, when a person who had it all almost all of his or her life loses everything (or almost everything),  he or she could not cope.  He or she would ha...
