***1/2
"Enchanted" is a fish-out-of-water tale that is also an homage to "Snow White," "Sleeping Beauty," "Mary Poppins," and countless other Disney classics that have come before it. Here, a fairy tale princess (Amy Adams) crosses over from the world of animation to the world of live-action, without losing her cheery disposition and otherworldly charm in the process.
On the day she is to be wed to her long-awaited Prince Charming, the beautiful Giselle is tossed out of the storybook kingdom of Analasia by a jealous evil queen (Susan Sarandon) who has no intention of letting some pretty little upstart usurp her throne. When Giselle finally finishes falling, she lands smack dab in the middle of a live-action Manhattan that is only a tad less immaculate and a shade less colorful than the cel-animated world she calls home. The plucky heroine is both dazzled and a bit confused by this strange looking world where the people don't seem quite as friendly or optimistic about life as the inhabitants of Analasia. Giselle is befriended by an unromantic, decidedly commitment-phobic divorce attorney (Patrick Dempsey) who doesn't know quite what to make of this odd, undoubtedly deranged creature who, when she isn't inspiring critters to help her tidy up the apartment or breaking out into full-throated, spontaneous song, is extolling the virtues of true love and declaring her undying faith in happily-ever-after endings.
Most of the fun of "Enchanted" lies in watching this almost impossibly cheerful, utterly imperturbable former cartoon character going up against the harsh realities of the real world (as harsh as the "real world" in any Disney film can be, that is), yet maintaining her sunny disposition throughout. The filmmakers have devised some spot-on parodies of the typical Disney musical number, replete with high-pitched warbling, a chorus of singing animals, and lyrics that reflect an unquenchable conviction that all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds. At times, the idea of the film is better than its execution, opting, as it often does, for silliness and strained slapstick over sophistication and wit. And sometimes, even the concept itself falls flat, as when we are left to ponder whether these creatures, with their weird behavior and exotic garb, would really be all that out of place in Times Square. And, regrettably, the filmmakers couldn't resist throwing an utterly superfluous, CGI-generated dragon into the mix at the end.
Yet, for the most part, the movie is clever, bright and beguiling, and boasts a wonderfully ditzy performance by the lovely Miss Adams that brings the whole sugarcoated confection to life. The material many be stretched a bit beyond its breaking point, but "Enchanted" casts a spell over its audience anyway.
Movie Review: A wonderful love story, a very feel good movie!

Summary: 4 Stars
I had not watched this movie prior to purchasing it, but based on the screen trailers, I had high hopes. Although I wasn't totally let down, I was not entirely impressed when I watched it. It was a cute movie for the 8-12 year old girl range, but a little lacking for adults. Movie Review: Charming, but boys may be bored
Summary: 3 Stars
Enchanted is a fun family film, no doubt. Not brilliant, but fun and cute.
If I were to say one thing to anyone who has yet to screen it, I would suggest that it is not necessarily a movie for boys. Some boys will surely fall in love with it, especially those who have been raised on Disney classics. But any boy who is not into this sort of thing is going to be utterly bored, and ready to snooze as all the ballgowns and cutesy animals and musical numbers go by.
I enjoyed the film, mostly because it's such a spoof of Disney fairy tales. But I cannot understand why they waited so very long to bring the evil queen into the real world; when Susan Sarandon finally shows up as a live action character, the film is nearly over. Oh, well.
I was very impressed by Rick Baker's makeup on Susan Sarandon as the hag/crone. Remarkable. It does not even look like her, but it is her. I haven't been so taken aback by fantasy makeup since Sigourney Weaver played Snow White's wicked stepmother in Snow White: A Tale of Terror (a very dark version of the story). Another fantastic hag makeup job in that film too.
All the in-jokes here are cute, and the songs aren't bad at all. You know which man the maiden is going to end up with very quickly.
I only had a few minor issues watching this, such as why the writers felt that cockroaches and a swarm of flies were needed to help clean up the apartment. Not something I would've considered.
Bottom line here-- if you're a fan of classic Disney animation, this is a fun evening's entertainment. And it looks like Disney will continue its fairy tale tradition because their future animation projects involve princesses (The Princess and the Frog, and Rapunzel).
