Movie Reviews of Enchanted (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Worst movie ever
Summary: 1 Stars
I can not believe they actually made a movie this bad. Wow, it is truely awful.Movie Review: A delightfully fractured fairy tale!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a delight from beginning to end. It really is a film the whole family can enjoy. My 11 year-old was "enchanted" by it, my 16 year old son was laughing hysterically, and my wife and I were never bored once.
This film falls into the "fractured fairly tale" genre much like The Princess Bride which is a difficult genre to produce successfully. To add to the difficulty level this film also tackles the switch over from cartoon world to the real one. "Enchanted" succeeds here as well. The cartoon world is a tribute in style to the old fashioned cartoons we all grew up with, but the comedy and approach of the cartoon component works and is in funny balance to the real world scenes.
Amazon and other reviewers have done a good job summarizing this film and with the traditional elements of most Disney classic cartoons, there isn't much I can add here, so here is my hits and misses approach:
The Misses:
(1) The ending goes a little over the top with effects and seems a bit out of place, although it's still fun and interesting.
(2) The songs are good, even above average in spots, but not nearly as good as prior Disney efforts.
The Hits:
(1) It's a great marriage of cartoon and real world storylines.
(2) The film nails the fractured fairy tale genre right on the head.
(3) The story is engaging no matter what your age is. My whole family truly loved this film.
(4) For the genre this film has terrific acted. Amy Adams is someone anyone one of us would want to marry (or adopt). Her role of the misplaced Princess in New York City is difficult to get a handle on without grating on one's nerve, but she manages to get us to love and adore her. Patrick Dempsey is simply perfect in his role and who would ever think that James (X-Men Trilogy Marsden could sing and act so lightheartedly. Of course, Susan Saradon as the evil witch is perfectly cast and she manages to not go over-the-top as Glenn Close did as Cruella DeVille in 101 Dalmatians. The supporting cast of both familiar and unfamiliar faces are wonderful in their roles. This film is perfectly cast and makes one wonder why there isn't an Oscar category for casting as the person who did it for this film would surely have won it.
(5) Good blend of cartoon, real world, and special effects (even if the end goes a bit wild).
(6) The humor in this film will have you on the floor laughing until your stomach hurts. I kid you not, this film is absolutely hysterical as it pokes gentle fun as Disney's more traditionally family films. Some humor is a bit contrived in a few spots, but many seem like ad libs too.
I can't speak enough good things about this film. This is one to treasure and watch with your family over and over again. I'm sure that I will always find something entertaining in this film even on my 100th viewing.

Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in awhile and Amy Adams does a great job playing the typical Disney princess. Enchanted is a charming movie that strays slightly from the typical boy meets girl genre. As the average "guy" I normally am not a fan of "chick flicks" but Enchanted is one of the exceptions. This is a fun date movie or to sit down with the family and relax. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting some laughs.Movie Review: My whole family was ENCHANTED!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this due to great reviews in the theatre. I wasn't dissapointed. My almost 3-year old son loves the movie and watched it several times. I admit that I do like the movie. It has a unique storyline that only Disney can deliver. I got this in a Blu Ray format so the hidef features is awesome as well. I recommend buying this item, especially if you have a Blu Ray player.
