''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 very much enjoyed this turn of events, to the typical plot contrivances for this genre. The comedy seemed like it could appeal to all age ranges.
The makers packed in many jokes perfectly into the plot. Not once did the comedy seem crass or even bizarre, almost every joke was funny. Very many parts of the old fairy tales were used in some parts of the plot, such as Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. However they were used in such a stylistic manner that it all seemed to seamlessly blend together with the rest of the story. The villains were very despicable, and the good guys were very lovable. Overall the plot was very solid and very well written. It carried all the magic and the entertainment factor of all the classics before it.
''Remember, when you go out not to put too much makeup otherwise the boys will get the wrong idea and you know how they are...''
The sound mix was surprisingly good considering the film's Genre. Once again, another engrossing quality of the film. Skywalker Sound really does a good job with every film the do the sound mixing for. There were many ambient effects from all around the theater perfectly placed, which added a sense of depth to what was on screen.
The Visual effects were very well done. There was one sequence that involved a massive dragon roosting at the tip of what I think was the Chrysler Building. The dragon seemed very believable, and the digital rain and lightning in the scene reflected very well off of the dragon's scales. I have no nitpicks here.
''Everybody has problems. Everybody has bad times. Do we sacrifice all the good times because of them?''
Performances are top notch. We get to see some amazing characters.
Amy Adams as Giselle is lovely, charismatic and really uses her voice to blast her character into new levels of masterful likability.
Patrick Dempsey as Robert Philip, Man Of Honor star, Grey's Anatomy heart throb gives us a likable, ordinary every day New York man hero.
James Marsden as Prince Edward, X-Men & Superman Returns star, surprises us with an over the top prince intent on getting his bride to be.
Timothy Spall as Nathaniel, Spall seems to have a penchant for these kind of movies, whether it be Sweeney Todd or Harry Potter, he is a fascinating actor who breathes life into his respective characters.
Susan Sarandon as the Queen Narissa, presents us with a very good nemesis yet I do find she was under used in the movie apart from the use of her voice. But she was a menacing presence.
Along the way of telling this remarkable story, we get to see a very challenging film production featuring two distinct worlds and their accompanying designs, and the interweaving these two worlds. It's occasionally heavy on visual effects and animated sequences as stated before, but the effects are always story-driven and never overly gratuitous.
A surprising enough thing nowadays that it's worth taking note of. Strong film-making skills, with an old-school sensibility, are in play making this a must see for adults and children alike.

MCT:October 20, 2008The real world and the animated world collide.
Director:Kevin Lima
Writer (WGA):Bill Kelly (written by)
Genre:Adventure | Comedy | Family | Fantasy | Musical | Romance
Starring: Amy Adams, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Julie Andrews, Susan Sarandon
"We're so close to reaching that famous happy ending. Almost believing this one's not pretending. Now you're beside me and look how far we've come. So close, so close, but still... so far."
THE MOVIE OUTLINE
"Once upon a time in the kingdom of Andalasia, a beautiful young maiden named Giselle lives in a cottage in the forest. But before she can marry the dashing Prince Edward, Giselle is sent tumbling down a magical well - and finds herself in the non-animated, extremely disenchanted world of modern-day New York City. There, she befriends a cynical divorce lawyer, Robert, who isn't so sure that her prince is coming to rescue her. Giselle's spontaneous singing and fairy-tale demeanor enchant everyone around her as she waits for Prince Edward. But she's about to discover that love in the real world isn't always as easy as sharing a single True Love's Kiss - and that she'll need courage, spunk and maybe just a little enchantment if she's ever going to find her own happily-ever-after. "MY APPRAISAL
Another Disney's work of art! Ultimately enchanting and highly recommended for everyone. The casts make it even more enjoyable. Gosh, I would watch this for the 100th times. The soundtracks are incredible (but never topped neither August Rush' Raise It Up nor Once Falling Slowly). But Enchanted's So Close and Happy Working Song aren't ones you would missed.
After screwing around with their High School Musical, finally AN ENCHANTING MEGA-HIT!

This movie was perfectly casted! Amy Adams does such a great job, James Marsden plays the perfect prince, and Patrick Dempsey is SOO gorgeous and funny! I really enjoyed Enchanted it was sooo hilarious and cute, I LOVED all the little references they make to the classic Disney films and how they poke a little fun at the fairytale cliches. The dance scene at the ball when Patrick is singing along to the song in her ear, that was so romantic, squeee!!!!!

MCT:November 30, 2008It was a little too cheerful for me at times and I could pretty much see where the plot was going but I have to admit it was better than I expected. Giselle's turnaround near the end was a nice touch.

What I liked here MOST was that it shows the princess can sometimes save the prince as well - she too can be the hero. They pay homage to all the old Disney movies too with little secret clues - some are obvious and some not so obvious but if you utilize the Blu-ray options they will actually pop-up on screen and show you - very very clever. So it's like a hidden game within the movie. A lot of fun.

I ended my review of this movie with possibly the weirdest metaphor I have ever used in my entire life. I just... I felt like I had to point that out to someone. It's truly, sincerely bizarre.
