Enchanted (2007)

Posted : 1 year ago at Oct 29 13:25

''I seek a beautiful girl. My life partner, my one coquette, the answer to my love's duet.'' A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess who is sent to our world by an evil queen. Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer. Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world? Amy Adams: Giselle I was following Enchanted for a while appreciating the very original concept and design at it's heart. Disney succeeds and then some. Enchanted was a refreshing taste of comedy and the happily ever after formula. It did not follow the usual sappy result fortunately. However, I won't reveal what happened because you need to find out. Personally ver...Read more

Giselle (Amy Adams) finds herself in Manhattan and is befriended by Robert (P. Dempsey) and his daughter Morgan. Meanwhile, Edward's mother (S. Sarandon) will stop at nothing to keep Gisell from ending up with her son. So... will Edward (J. Marsden), Giselle's true love, find her? And is Edward truly Giselle's true love? A very entertaining romantic fairy tale, with splendid acting from all, especially Amy Adams. She clearly has a lot of talent, in acting and singing. Susan Sarandon is especially vicious as the stepmother. Marsden and Dempsey are fantastic too. Nice directing. Good photography. The transition between animation and "reality" was interesting and well done. The songs are rather kitsch, it is a movie for children mostly, so what else is to be expected? Enjoyable for a...Read more

When walking into the theater, you can't but expect this movie to be corny. And it is. The mere fact that the Prince decides to marry Giselle after just learning her name provides proof enough. It was strange to view transitions between animation and reality, but it did it well. The prince was quite a character himself, and added alot to the movie. The squirrel, named "Pip", is a sidekick with a very annoying accent (which fortunately leaves when he travels to the real world ;]) but really doesn't add as much comedy as you might think a talking chipmunk might add. Anyway, Patrick Dempsey does a wonderful job playing Robert, as does Amy Adams to Giselle. Me being a guy, there was quite a bit too much singing going on, but it still retained its comical theme. The best part of the movie, I...Read more

I actually really liked this movie. At first I wanted to watch it with my friends mostly as a joke, but I ended up watching it alone, and lucky was that because I really enjoyed it. The opening with the classic disney cartoon was just fantastic. Then they can to NYC, and Amy Adams came to life. She is just really heartwarming and funny as the soon to be princess. Patrick Dempsey seem a bit out of place but he gets the job done. The chipmunk is funny but it feels like almost every animated movie have a funny little cute animal sidekick these days. The prince is funny aswell. The musical numbers are great. The evil queen is ok. My only real problem with the movie is the ending. First the final boss fight ends really abruptly, and then they all live happily ever after. A better ending would h...Read more

Enchanted puts its own spin on the classic Disney princess story with great charm and humor.

The characters were all well cast with Amy Adams being the standout - being likable and innocent without being cloying.

And the musical numbers that you would expect from any Disney movie are a treat. I dare you not to sign along when Giselle starts singing "That's How You Know".
