Plot
The film explores the untold stories of Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty who discover that they are all engaged to the same Prince Charming. After a fairy spills a large amount of charm dust on Charming, Prince Charming, led by the heroine Lenore, a woman who is incapable of love, must go on an epic journey to find his true, true love.
Lenore, played by Demi Lovato, is a bandit who sees opportunity to make some money by tricking Prince Charming into a journey, in which they begin to catch feelings for one another, and break the curses that would initially keep them apart.
