Giselle (Any Adams) lives in the blissful animated world of Andalasia, where magical beings frolic freely, animals are talkative companions and musical interludes punctuate every interaction. Though Giselle is currently engaged to the handsome and valiant (and bumbling) Prince Edward (James Marsden), her fate takes a turn for the worse when his stepmother, the villainous Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon), throws her through a magic portal, apparently to her doom, in order to keep her son single and thus remain queen.

But Giselle's plunge into darkness lands her in a strange new world - the unforgiving live-action world of modern day New York City. As the cruelty of this new place wears down the fairy-tale idealism of the once carefree princess, such as a homeless man stealing her tiara, the frightened Giselle meets Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey), who takes her into his apartment despite belief that she is a little crazy, and he is nervous for his daughter, Morgan. Rob is a divorce lawyer who is serious and doesn't believe in Giselle's gushings of happily-ever-after and true love's first kiss. The next morning he becomes aggravated when he and his daughter find Giselle has rats and other vermin cleaning their apartment and constructed a dress using material cut from the curtains. Nancy (Idina Menzel), Rob's soon-to-be-fiancee, walks in to find Giselle in her towel and leaves assuming the worst. Giselle also starts to sob at Rob's office when she finds a couple is getting a divorce which causes an incident that causes Rob's boss to reprimand him. At the end of his patience, Rob gives Giselle some money and tells her to go find her prince. Giselle promptly gives the money to an old woman, which leaves Rob to shake his head in pity and join her.

Queen Narissa's henchman, Nathaniel (Timothy Spall), goes after Edward and Pip the chipmunk who journey off to save Giselle. They stop at a motel, where Nathaniel sneaks out to give Giselle a poisoned apple while Pip, unable to speak in this world, has a frustrating time alerting the Prince of the minion's intentions. Rob is shocked when Giselle tells him that she and Edward only knew each other for a day, while Nancy and he have dated for five years. She starts a song, and Rob claims he never sings or dances - ever. Spontaneously starting a musical production number with everyone in the park uncannily able to perform with her, Giselle ends up sending Nancy a wreath of flowers as an apology from Rob along with tickets to a ball. Charmed, Nancy promptly accepts. Nathaniel fails twice to poison her, only to be stopped by Pip, and Narissa becomes infuriated. Giselle stays another night, to which Rob tells her he will help her because he doesn't believe Edward will show up. She yells at him, and becomes giddy when she finds out that she is experiencing anger. They both stare at each other for a moment, and when Rob leaves she falls into a chair realizing she is falling for him and he does the same on his bed.

Edward finds Giselle the next morning, and they agree to leave right after the ball, for she is reluctant to go. Giselle and Morgan go shopping with Rob's emergency credit card for the perfect gown. Giselle and Robert dance at the ball, where he sings quietly as they dance. Nancy is smitten by the romantic Edward, but keeps her eyes on the couple. As Giselle and Edward go to leave, Narissa appears as the old hag. Seeing Giselle upset as Nancy kisses Rob, she offers her an apple that she says will make Giselle forget the whole experience. She takes it and collapses on the floor. Edward returns and Narissa claims she fainted as Rob and Nancy run over. Nathaniel appears and admits the plot that she was poisoned, sadly with his help. If the spell isn't broken in a minute (which will be midnight) she will die.

Remembering her belief in true love's first kiss, Rob tells Edward to kiss her, only to find it doesn't work. Edward turns to Rob and realizes the reason is because Rob is her true love. Rob promptly denies this, but Nancy says it's okay and to kiss her before it's too late. He does, and Giselle wakes up. Narissa then transforms into a dragon and says she will have to kill them all. She plans to start with Giselle, but Rob intervenes (and is promptly seized). Narissa climbs on top of the building and Giselle grabs a sword and follows, leaving a slipper behind.

Giselle chases the Narissa-dragon to the point at where it falls off the Woolworth Building, thanks to help from Pip, and dissolves into glitter.
