The totally unnecessary sequel is set in a fake suburb.

“It turns out New York wasn’t Giselle’s fairy tale after all,” a narrator says. Thousands of new Floridians will fall over laughing.Giselle didn’t sour on Manhattan because of crime, rising costs of living and rapidly deteriorating conditions, though.

Not sure of what to do, upset Giselle takes a wishing wand that her old flame Edward and his wife Nancy gifted her baby, and sings “I Wish We Had a Fairy Tale Life.” That spell turns Monroeville into something like the storybook village of “Beauty and the Beast” overnight. Townsfolk in silly hats and aprons dance in the square.Things get messy though. Giselle gradually transforms into an Evil Stepmother and competes with another villain, Malvina , an obnoxious mother from the high school.
