What happened to Happily Ever After?...
After
Virginia (Kimberly Williams), a twenty-something waitress
who lives in New York City with her ne'er-do-well janitor
father, Tony (Larroquette), befriends a stray dog (who
turns out to be a bewitched prince) on her way to work
at the Grill on the Green restaurant in Central Park,
she and her father are transported, via a magic mirror,
to the Land of Nine Kingdoms. In this alternate dimension,
an evil queen (Dianne Wiest) has escaped from the Snow
White Memorial Prison and is trying to usurp the throne
from Prince Wendell (Daniel Lapaine). Virginia and her
father get caught up in the intrigue and are pursued by
the Troll King (Ed O'Neill), his disgusting children and
the queen's evil huntsman (Rutger Hauer). They are aided
by Wolf (Scott Cohen), a handsome, sardonic and conflicted
wolfman who is allied with the queen, but falls in love
with Virginia. As Virginia and Tony try to find their
way back to New York (the 10th kingdom), they are caught
up in a series of bizarre adventures vaguely reminiscent
of familiar fairytale situations -- but always with a
slight twist. During their journey, Virginia comes to
realize that she has never dealt with her anger over her
mother's abandonment of her when she was a child. She
also begins to fall in love with Wolf, who is doing a
lot of personal growth in order to tame the beast within
and win Virginia's trust. With a little advice from an
older and wiser Snow White (Camryn Manheim), Virginia
comes to terms with her feelings about her mother. Now
strong and confident, Virginia battles the evil queen,
restoring Prince Wendell to his rightful throne. Wolf
successfully vanquishes his inner demons, and he and Virginia
return to New York where they live happily ever after
-- or at least until the next crisis in the Land of the
Nine Kingdoms.
