Enchanted Reviews

I was dying to see Enchantedwhen it came out last holiday season but I couldn't talk my husband into going and my nephew had already seen it.  So I added it to my Netflix queue and waited patiently for it to come out on video.  It came out last week so I watched it on the day it arrived and liked it but wasn't totally wild over it. 

Enchanted is about Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) who is a animated character who is much like Snow White in her pureness, sweetness, and propensity to attract cute forest animals but the mere sound of her lilting voice.

When Giselle meets and plans to marry the local...

Disney has such an fantastic catalog full of amazing films, wonderful classics that span nearly a century.  Amazingly, the newest addition, Enchanted is the best of all.  That's right, better than Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.  Wow, that it a bold statement, but while I love this movie the most, it wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable without the history of all these films.  Enchanted referrences so many Disney classics, and part of the fun in recognizing all of them, that is if you can.

The movie is about a beautiful maiden named Giselle who lives in...

Such a sweet movie!  If you still believe in positive, uplifting love stories, then this is for you!  Very creative and good for all ages.  Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams were very believable as the main characters and the plot was very cute!

Ok, I don't have toddlers anymore - I took my daughters to see this movie last weekend (they are 18 & 21).  We all enjoyed it!  Ok, so we really went for McDreamy Patrick Dempsey.

 The movie did bring us back to the Disney days (Little Mermaid, etc).  Ok, so it was a little cheesy but it was definitely a feel good movie.  I have to admit we've been singing a few of the songs around the house all week.

Good for all ages!  Very entertaining.

"Enchanted" is the first film in ages that just about anyone can go to and find something to enjoy.  For moviephiles, there are excellent performances by Amy Adams (Giselle, the princess) and James Marsden (as her rather dense Prince), and vocally by Susan Sarandon (as the Evil Stepmother/Queen), though her actual screen appearance is a bit campy.  The supporting cast is also good, especially Timothy Spall as Sarandon's bumbling henchman who comes to doubt his actions.  Only Patrick Dempsey, unremarkable as a cynical New York divorce attorney and Idina Menzel, wooden as Dempsey's girlfriend...

If I could give this film more than five stars I probably would!  Some have said that the animated beginning of the film is cheesy.  Well it is!  That is fun of it!  I'm not sure I have ever seen a film that was completely devoid of cheesiness.  The storyline is great with a good moral center.  Be yourself no matter what!  It also has a good love story.

The acting is also superb!  Amy Adams (Giselle) is one of my new favorite actresses!  She played Giselle with a light innocence that was always believable.  Her character was often clueless but Amy made her lovable instead of annoying. ...

"Enchanted" just happened to be the movie showing on our 20th anniversary...and it was perfect!  In our 60's and looking for something light and humorous it really fit the bill. We didn't really know anything about it but were very pleasantly surprised by the smooth flow, humor (that caused us to burst into, at minimum, bouts of chuckles and laughter), ironic events, references to previous 'fairytales' and childhood, expressions of pure joy (the young actress was perfect for the part), the combination of human/animal reactions of her forest friends, and the LACK  of crude/rude behavior and...

Enchanted-A new Disney movie

My almost seven year old daughter and I have been waiting for this movie to come out and let me say, it was worth the wait. We loved it!

In the theater were all ages of children, boys and girls. All seemed to enjoy the movie. There were ALOT of funny parts, fairy tale dreams, the usual wicked step mother and poisoned apples and a dramatic ending.

I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone so I'll just say that I feel like it was worth my time and money to go see it. Patrick Dempsey was great as a single dad raising a little girl, the young lady who played Princess Giselle(?)...

"Enchanted" was a fun movie to watch.  While the cartoon side wasn't as well drawn as Disney is usually known for, it was basically just to set the scene for the human actors after all.  I loved the chipmunk character, and that Giselle's belief in her prince and in true love could not be stomped out by the McSteamy character (yeah, I forgot his name... sorry!).  And the musical scene in the park was so fun! The movie is supposed to remind us of four Disney princesses - I can see Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, but someone said there's also reminders of Belle of Beauty and the Beast......
