Customer Rating:      Summary: Stuck watching Disney Comment: Having three little girls that believe they are all princesses I have to endure many Disney movies. Enchanted is different from many other Disney movies in that it kind of makes fun of the basic FairyTale formula Disney has relied upon for years. As an adult male with the children I found the movie funny and I laughed in places my kids did not get. For having to sit through this on a long drive it was pretty good. Despite not having any car chases or fiery explosions I still liked it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: PRECIOSIDAD DE FILM!!! Comment: Simplemente Maravillooosaaa!!! no se que decir, pocas veces se ve una pelicula tan llena de realismo y al mismo tiempo de fantasia como esta; que contraste tan bien logrado, la dulzura de los cuantos de hadas enfrentada a la insipida y estresada vida de la gran ciudad (New York); es interesantisimo el traer a una "princesita disney" a la cruda vida de carreras, automoviles, empleados...y ladrones. Maravillosas las escenas en que Guiselle canta a las ratas, palomas y cucarachas para que aseen la casa!!! increible laforma en que se gana el cariño de la gente y hasta hace que un matrimonio a punto de divorciarse se reconcilie!!! pero sobrte todo la preciosa escena del baile, hace suspirar a cualquiera!!! uno de los papeles inolvidables es el de la ARDILLITA...chistosisima!!!
la princesa...UN AMOR, el principe...PATETICO, y el abogado...UN CIUDADANO COMO NOSOTROS.
¡INDISPENSABLE PARA TODA LA FAMILIA!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: How do you know he loves you? Comment: Well, this particular movie has been on my must-see list for absolutely weeks. I've heard lots about how it turns the whole fairy tale story onto its head in a family fun way and wanted to see for myself.
To recap, Giselle lives in Andalasia, a fairy-tale cartoon land. When an ogre comes to eat her, Prince Edward rushes to her rescue. Immediately, the two fall in love and go off to marry.
Enter wicked witch/step-mother. She doesn't want to lose her reign, so she tosses Giselle down a waterfall to land in New York. There, Giselle meets up with Robert, a divorced lawyer, and his young daughter and completely changes their lives (and they also change Giselle a little bit too...).
The movie starts out really corny...love at first sight, sappy songs, etc. but this is all to contrast it with the New York parts latter on (so if it's annoying, just hold on, it gets better).
Amy Adams absolutely shines as Giselle. She sings so beautifully (the songs are adorable and catchy, particularly "The Working Song" and "How do you know?") and is charming. McDreamy as Robert is perfect as the charming, skeptical divorcee. I adored Susan Sarandon as the wicked queen (perfect casting, absolutely perfect).
The plot is crisp and fluid. The story really takes the typical "love at first sight" concept and turns it on its heels in a delightful way.
If there are any annoying parts there are two primary ones. The first is that Susan Sarandon is not in enough of the film (mostly appearing as a cartoon figure in a bowl of soup or a glass of water). The second is more critical.
SPOILERS! If you don't want the ending ruined, stop here and go to the end!
START: The theme of the movie at the beginning seems to be you can't fall in love with someone you hardly know. Robert has been dating Nancy (Idina Menzel) for five years after all and is finally thinking of proposing to her. He in fact tells Giselle that love is something that takes years to work at and includes dating to get to know someone. But at the end of the film, Nancy goes back to Andalasia with Prince Edward, whom she has known all of one day, and Giselle goes with Robert, whom she has known barely a week. This conclusion seems to contradict in every aspect the theme so carefully set up at the beginning. So, are they being satirical, that true love takes time to cultivate, or are they reinforcing the idea, that true love can appear in a moment? END
I adored the film until the end. The conclusion really ruined the movie for me. However, the excellent casting, beautiful songs, and really good story at the beginning could not be completely erased. Definitely fun for everyone.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very cute Comment: Very cute movie, my daughter who is almost 3 loves it, she is very into princess movies and I enjoy it as well when we watch it several times a week! Only thing that can get to you after 30 times of watching it is Amy Adams high pitched princess voice, but great songs too.
