This film, featuring Mila Kunis as Queen Bayarmaa Woksapiwi Illimani Pagnanelli III and Johnny Depp as Ipo Giovannetti, is a perfect mixture of hilarious antics and the passion of a forbidden love. The Queen’s quest to find the perfect pair of shoes for the biggest ball of the year finds herself falling for the awkward yet charming shoemaker. The shoemaker has been recently widowed and although his affections stir for the queen, he also must desperately try to conceal from her the quintuplets that his wife left behind. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, this 191 minute film is sure to please the whole family.

Queen Brunhilda Marigold has everything she could want. Transported from a shoddy tenement apartment building to the magical land of Zoort, Brunhilda learns that she is the only child of the kingdom’s dying ruler, and sole heir to the throne. Over the years she has become a wise and terrible ruler, truly integrating into the two dimensional stereotypes of this storybook land. But there’s just one problem: no arch support!

Fed up with spiked heels and their only alternative, two pieces of leather strapped together over the feet of a diseased and suffering peasent, the queen’s only recourse is to abandon her kingdom and, with the help of her trusty cat, Bartholomew, go on an adventure back to the present that you will never forget! But once there, will she begin to long again for the simplicity of modern life? And, when she finds the handsome shoe designer, Derek Smith, will she come away with more than she bargained for? This rollicking romantic comedy will have you rolling in the aisles one moment, and reaching for your date’s hand the next.

It’s A shoe, a shoe, my kingdom for a shoe!

In theaters everywhere.

They met when his custom design was selected for the Queen to wear during a promotion on the telly.

Some said he was too young, and she was too old. She was as noble as could be, and he was a simple man. But others who like bad puns would say that fate was one size fits all. Or that love was on the other foot. They would even say, with no shame or sarcasm, that they would walk a mile in each other's shoes. Others still would say that it was just a writing prompt, and that attempting to flesh out the story was pointless.

But they all agreed on one thing: love will always find away when the shoe fits.
