Life is idyllic in the fairytale world where conflict is minimal and breaking into song solves every problem, but what happens when a princess from the fairy world gets magically transported into the real world? Enchanted begins in the animated fairytale world of Andalasia where Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) is destined to marry Prince Edward (James Marsden) and live happily ever after. Problem is, Edward's step-mother Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) doesn't want to give up the throne and will do anything to get Giselle out of Edward's life. Queen Narissa's solution is to push Giselle into a well that magically lands Giselle smack in the middle of the real world--the center of Time Square in New York City, to be exact. This launches the live-action portion of the film where Giselle immediately realizes that things are frighteningly different in this new world and that she is ill-prepared for the callous ways of the people who inhabit it. Giselle finds herself alone on a stormy night in the wrong end of town, but a chance encounter with Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and his princess-loving daughter Morgan (Rachel Covey) leads to a warm, safe place to spend the night and the beginnings of a complicated, yet compelling relationship. As Giselle begins to question the fairy-tale truths she's always inherently believed, Robert's outlook on life and love also begins to change significantly. Parallels to the classic Disney fairytales, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty abound in the form of a King's and Queen's ball, small animals and rodents who clean house when called, the threat of poisoned apples, characters impulsively breaking into song, and the power of the kiss of true love and the absurd juxtaposition of fairytale idealism and stark reality is hilariously funny. Features music by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz of Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame fame, Wicked's Broadway Elpheba Idina Menzel as Nancy, and even a brief appearance by former Princess voice talent Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas). Enchanted is one of the best, most entertaining Disney films of the year. (Ages 6 and older with parental guidance due to some scary images and mild innuendo) --Tami Horiuchi

Just a cute movie all around. Modern day parable October 10, 2008
J. Powell (New York, NY United States)
If you enjoy modern day fairy tales, and also enjoy movies filmed in New York City, then you will most likely love this movie. The star is a little dopey, but dopey in a cute way. She charms the proverbial single parent, father of a small child, and the rest is mystery. Good special effects. The counter person, at the store where I bought this said, "this is my daughters FAVORITE movie...she can watch it over and over again.." It was a good, unsolicited testimonial, and it turns out the kids is pretty much right. This movie has something that most people will find appealing. The only downside about the movie is Susan Sarandon's part of the "Evil witch". It seems forced, and almost like she's pandering to the kids. Other than that it's all "happily ever after". Some of the specific NYC scenes that people will enjoy are the "time portal" directly in Times Square, which any NY'er or tourist can connect with. Others include a funny scene where a homeless person steals her tiara, and bolts down the street. Funny stuff.

I waited and waited and watched the postal trace. Finally it could not be delivered because the seller did not put my address on the package. The Post office told me that it was going to be returned to the sender.

Downhill Disney October 4, 2008

Disney films have pretty much gone downhill since the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" animated movie. In that film, the heroine kicks men in the groin to make her escape and the comedy relief is provided by a stone gargoyle that relieves itself by passing gas.

In this film, we have a live dog urinating on the leg of a prince and a chipmunk that defecates when frightened.

Is this what passes for family entertainment these days?

I saw this movie at the theatre and liked it. I thought it was cute, and then sort of forgot about it. Months later, my kids rented the DVD, and I watched it again. Then I really liked it, and I ordered a copy for our DVD library. When I was watching it again today, I realized that I truly love this movie, and I needed to write a review of it. It's only after repeated viewings that I have finally recognized genius in this film. Disney has pulled out all the stops to make a hilarious live-action parody of its own invented genre of animated fairy-tale romance. I bet I have watched this movie ten times now, and I find something new every viewing.

Amy Adams is an amazing actress. I loved her in Junebug and The Wedding Date (Widescreen Edition). In Enchanted, she really makes you believe that she is the animated character of Giselle, come to life. Her dippy hand gestures and her wide-eyed straight delivery of truly goofy lines are superb. But what makes the performance even more amazing is the gradual transformation of Giselle from cartoonish to human before our very eyes. Adams never loses her Disney-princess innocence, but she becomes fully three-dimensional in her movements and her line readings as the film moves to a satisfying happily-ever-after for the stars. It's an inspired performance.

The other actors are equally good. Patrick Dempsey is now a confirmed hunky leading man -- I still recall him so clearly as a geek in his early teenage movies. James Marsden is also sigh-worthy. And Susan Sarandon as the Evil Stepmother -- what can I say? The woman is ageless, gorgeous, and can play anything.

And the songs? Marvelous. When I took my kids to New York this past May, we spent half a day in Central Park, our Ipods plugged in, swooping around and singing out advice on "How does she know you love her? How does she know you care?" while we checked out all the places where they filmed the scenes from that number. (Yes, if you were in the park that Tuesday, that was us -- and no, we hadn't been drinking.)

Anyway, if you do not own a copy of this movie, and if you have a romantic funny bone, buy it (in the widescreen version, of course) for your permanent collection.
