review by . December 19, 2010
It's good to see that even a film powerhouse like Disney can make fun of themselves sometimes. As much as I liked them when I was a young child, the Disney Princesses aren't very good role models, and the princess in this film, Giselle (played by Amy Adams) is just like that in the beginning, until she is tossed into the real world and becomes accustomed to the real world. The story is why I like this film so much, and why I think it's really underrated.      I like …

original, witty, and very entertaining. The plot is a spoof of typical Disney cartoon romances. I love how it mixes fairytale characters with the hustle of modern New York. The blend is seamless. The cast is really well-suited to their roles - both fairytale and modern. When the cartoons transform into actors, they become real people but never lose a sense of fairytaleness. However, Amy Adams shines through as the naive but charming Giselle. She is able to say the most insane lines while keeping …

Pros: The whole concept is just brilliant!     Cons: I guess it's still just more of the same when all is said...     The Bottom Line: My vote for Best Disney Princess is probably Jasmine.     Would you like to know the big difference between your favorite Disney fairy tales and the real world? According to Enchanted, the big difference is the Disney characters are all a lot happier. The villains in the Disney movies are villains because …

Pros: Pretty people      Cons: Pretty people acting very badly and terrible songs       The Bottom Line: Fluff fluff fluff.  Knowing that going in may save a few brain cells.  It is a good "cuddle" movie perhaps (which is why I don't give it one star).      Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie''s plot. Enchanted is a way for 4 actors to go back in time when all movements had …

Since Shrek, numerous studios have produced movies that overtly combined themes from classic Disney cartoons. So it was only time before Disney joined in; the result being this combination cartoon - live action flick titled "Enchanted". The story is simple enough, but the execution was actually very impressive. As a Disney movie, there is singing, and it was actually quite good. The comedy was original enough, and appropriate for both adults and children. The casting was also good, with Susan Sarandon …

Pros: Amy Adams' performance, McDreamy's cuteness     Cons: cliched, predictable, unfunny, cheesy; too many cons to list      The Bottom Line: I nearly vomited.     Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie''s plot. Maybe I’m becoming cynical in my old age, but I’ve hated every movie I’ve seen recently—even ones that were highly recommended. I feel like Elaine from Seinfeld in the episode about The …

Ingeniously incorporating a mix of memorable elements from earlier fantasy classics, including The Wizard of Oz, Men in Tights, King Kong, and their own fairy tale repertoire, the Disney folks, whose products are often annoying, have turned up a winner. Filmed like a musical, Enchanted is a delightful, sometimes fanciful , sometimes realistic tale about make believe characters who wind up in NYC because of the curse of an evil queen. Amy Adams and James Marsden are perfectly cast as the innocent, …

Pros: Excellent family movie, You will not be disappointed.     Cons: Nothing at this time     The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this for all children and adults alike. You will not be disappointed.     Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie''s plot. This movie first starts out in the animated world of Andalasia. (Giselle played by Amy Adams) loves to prance around and have interraction with all the animals …

When Mike Myers poked fun at fairy tales in the "Shrek" films, he did so by blending pop culture into the stories. The result was hilarious. Disney takes the humor up a notch with the live action/briefly animated family feature, "Enchanted." With a vast amount of excellent material to use as references, Disney took the generic story of a princess living in a fantasy land and smacked it in the face with a good dose of New York-style reality. The result this time was a film that …

You can get a review of the actual film and plot from various sites so this is just focusing on the DVD release. 'Enchanted' is by far one of the best movies of last year and one of the best Disney films. It's almost like the many spoof movies out there taking on the stereotypes found in Disney movies with the twist of setting the main plot in the 'real' world, though the animated and real world often are competing, showing the differences between what we hold as reality and the idealistic values …

A charming film. I loved the opening classic animated Disney style fairy tale. Headed to happily ever after until perfect princess Giselle falls into reality, in the form of a New York sewer, and charms most creatures who come into contact with her. I began to be less enchanted as Giselle changed, but as she grew I enjoyed the progression to the satisfying end.     A little bit of Shrek twisted fairy tales, a bit of the charm from Just Visiting and Kate and Leopold, it's a sweet …

In ENCHANTED the Walt Disney Company shows that the company does have a sense of humor and parodies itself in a mix of classic animation and live action. The story begins in the magical, animated world of Giselle (Amy Adams), a beautiful young woman who can talk to animals and has an impressive singing voice. Giselle dreams of meeting a prince. She meets Prince Edward (James Marsden) one day, the two fall in love, and become engaged to be married. However, Edward's stepmother, Queen Narissa (Susan …
