great disney movie, fun to watch [Posted on 2008-09-19] I've seen this several times already and have it on dvd. Its a great and fun movie to watch and the music and singing is catchy. Its so funny tooo .. I love watching the expression of the characters especially when Giselle and Prince Edward are ignorant and unaware of the evil characters such as when the rodent is trying to warn Prince Edward and then when Giselle is given the caramel apple and apple martini. And alot of the other disney princesses characteristic are used in this movie, sleeping beauty, cinderella, snow white, etc and one part reminds me of swan princess which isn't a disney movie.
This film belongs in your permanent collection [Posted on 2008-09-19] 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.
Family Pleaser [Posted on 2008-09-24] This film is excellent all the family enjoy watching it. The tunes are very catchy our boys aged 2 and 5 sing them all the time. A must buy for any one who enjoys Disney films
Downhill Disney [Posted on 2008-10-04] 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?
No address [Posted on 2008-10-08] 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.
