4 out of 5 stars A movie worth watching   August 19, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

A very good romantic comedy, Enchanted, brings to the screen the story of a soon-to-be-wed cartoon princess who magically gets sent to NYC by her betrothed's evil stepmother. Although the dashing prince sets forth to rescue his beloved, things get a bit complicated when the princess falls for an unsuspecting New Yorker about to ask his girlfriend in marriage...
Enchanted is a film about human relations, hope and second chances, but most importantly about trust, love, and inner strength.
Amy Adams (who is GORGEOUS!), Patrick Dempsey, Timothy Spall (from the Harry Potter movies!), James Marsden, Susan Sarandon, and the rest of the cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least! The film is simple enough, but does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face. It just goes to show that simplicity is often far better than complexity, when trying to present issues of a human nature.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all very good!
Though not a masterpiece, Enchanted is a movie definitely worth watching as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment!



4 out of 5 stars Great movie. Fun for adults and kids.   August 18, 2008
This is a wonderful family movie because kids love it (mine range from 3-11 and all enjoy it) and there is plenty for grown-ups to laugh at also. It wouldn't make my list of best movies ever, but it is definitely worth watching. I'd stick to renting unless buying it as a gift like I did.


5 out of 5 stars All of the disney movies in one   August 9, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was waiting so long for a movie like this to clome along. It's about giselle who believes in true love's kiss and happily ever after. in the imaginary world .but when she falls down a well and lands in a suige of New York City the chances of Giselle finding a happily ever after won't happen .when she meets Robert she tries to tell him all about happily ever after and "Someday My Prince Will COME" he thinks that she's cracked at the end of the movie queen Narissa uses an apple just like on Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs to have Giselle fall into a deep sleep because the prince is supposed to find a bride so he can become king but queen Narissa doesn't want that to happen. so unless her true love will kiss her before the stroke of 12 she'll survive and live happily ever after but if not she'll die. so the prince kissied her with all his might but she doesn't wake up then the prince understands that she's in love with Robert so Robert has to kiss her and she wakes up then they have to defeat the evil queen Narissa and in the end Giselle stays in the real world with robert and his daughter morgan while the prince and robert's fiancee Nancy go back to andalasia and they all live Happily Ever After


2 out of 5 stars Adams raises this one notch above Disney's usual low-grade offerings   August 6, 2008

In Enchanted, Disney is content with shoveling us the same old s*** and calling it sugar.

I was hoping this would be a biting satire of the Mouse House's past fables but instead they played it safe and only increased their self-awareness: "Yes we know how silly the musical numbers were in those old cartoons, so let's ratchet up the camp level a little for this film!" Except for a bizarrely crude cleaning-song parody involving NYC's vermin (amusing in concept and maybe initially but like all the movie's good parts, the fun factor was quick and fleeting), I can't think of anything that makes this different from all the other cookie-cutter sludge the company churns out every year.

Disney really made it seem like they were going to town on all the soggy cliches clogging up their extensive family-friendly output but it's not like I was expecting this to star Sarah Silverman (though that would have been genius). Instead we get James Marsden beginning to belt an over-the-top "I've been dreaming of..." and then getting hit by a group of bicyclists in Central Park. That's about it.

All the scenes with McDreamy were snooze-worthy and highlighted the main problem of Enchanted: its tone. The real world scenes weren't crazy enough... in fact, they tried to act like this was reality and not, you know... a f***ing DISNEY production. No police or post-9/11 military personel patrolling the city at all? Not a single person thinks about sending Amy Adams to a psychiatric ward (though that might have been too darkly comedic)? It's either a total fantasy or not. You can't try to have it both ways.

In the end it's another dumbed-down kid flick. There are much worse injustices in this world and if you're satisfied with that then by all means, watch it with the whole Sunday School class.
