Amazon.co.uk Review

If you’re looking for signs that the modern-day Disney has lost neither its touch nor its savvy nature, then there’s evidence in abundance in the smart modern-day fairy tale Enchanted. Bookended by the kind of old-style animation the studio is rightly famed for, the main, live action segment of the film finds Amy Adams’ Giselle--an archetypal Disney princess in pretty much every sense--dropped slap bang into the middle of modern day New York.

What follows is ingenious fun, as Giselle walks round very much as a fish out of water, followed quickly by James Marsden’s prince who attempts to come to the rescue. Thing is, modern day New York and old style princesses don’t really mix, and Enchanted studiously mines the comedy of the scenario, thanks to a smart and witty script.

What also lifts Enchanted though are the delightful tips of the hat to classics of Disney old. And we’re not just talking the show-stopping numbers: there are references to the likes of Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to be found here, and a star-making performance from Adams powering the whole film forward.

One of the very best family movies of 2007, Enchanted does occasionally stumble through the odd twee moment (and it could really use a villain with more screen time than Susan Sarandon’s wicked stepmother gets), but that can’t hide the fact that it’s terrific fun, lavishly made and, at its best, quite brilliant. A modern day family classic, and great to see Disney once again delivering the kind of entertainment it excels at. --Simon Brew

Synopsis

With a fine cast and fun in-jokes, Disney's ENCHANTED is sure to cast a spell over both children and adults. It begins with a 2-D animation sequence reminiscent of the company's beloved past. Surrounded by dozens of cute animals, Giselle (voiced and later played by Amy Adams) sings about her desire to find her one true love. Meanwhile, a handsome prince (James Marsden) overhears her, and they meet and fall in love. In many Disney movies, this is where the story ends, but ENCHANTED is just starting out on its journey. The prince’s wicked stepmother (Susan Sarandon) can’t stand to lose her throne, so she pushes Giselle down a well, and the beauty ends up in the real world. Gone is the animated fantasy, and a live-action Giselle lands in the middle of Times Square in New York City. Her optimism and perkiness put her at odds with the New Yorkers she encounters, but she gets help from a cynical divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) as she waits for her prince to rescue her.


Fans of Disney classics from SLEEPING BEAUTY to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will be glad to see their favourite films referenced in ENCHANTED. Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel in THE LITTLE MERMAID) makes a brief appearance, and the evil queen threatens to kill Giselle with a poisoned apple a la SNOW WHITE. Though it reminds the audience of past favourites, ENCHANTED boasts its own script that is at once intelligent and heartwarming. But the true highlight of the film is the acting by the fairy tale couple. Marsden (HAIRSPRAY) couldn’t be funnier as the charming prince, while Adams (an Oscar nominee for 2005’s JUNEBUG) gives dimension to the heroine. As a result, ENCHANTED is a film that deserves to sit on a shelf with Disney’s classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanted Is Enchanting, 29 Feb 2008
By David Rush "Fasten your seatbelts, its going ... (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   
Finally, a film that does exactly what it says on the tin. This is truly a fantastic film for all the family. The film begins as a traditional, beautiful Disney animation set in a wonderful fairytale world filled with Princes and Princesses, magic and giants.

After an unfortunate encounter with a giant, Giselle, a lovely young woman meets Prince Edward and in classic fairy tale fashion, the two fall in love and plan to marry the next day. However, Prince Edward's evil stepmother, Queen Narissa, has other ideas and plots to get rid of Giselle, thereby keeping her throne. The moment when she pushes Giselle into a massive magical pit is when the film makes its ingenious transition from animation to live action. Giselle ends up in New York City - as Narissa evilly puts it "A place where there are no happily ever afters" - and is lost and alone. She eventually runs into a lawyer played by Patrick Dempsey, and his young daughter who is especially taken with her. Eventually, Prince Edward also ventures to the city to find his true love and after this happens, anything goes.

Amy Adams' performance as Giselle, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress - Musical or Comedy is a revelation. She shines in every scene that she is in with her wonderfully sweet and funny peformance, which has her singing at random and calling to her animal friends to help tidy up.

The film is an intelligent send up of classic Disney fairy tales as well as a genuinely heartwarming love story and exciting adventure. Children of all ages as well as adults will love this as it really has something for everyone. One of the best films of 2007, if not ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great acting and really funny - Disney gets this one right!, 12 July 2008
By L. Felthouse "Avid reader and published writer" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
Giselle lives in a forest in a lovely house with all her woodland friends, dreaming of her prince. She bursts into song as she describes to her furry companions what love is all about, and Prince Edward who is galloping around the forest catching trolls, hears her. He vows to find the woman that has such a beautiful voice and marry her. On discovering her, the two fall madly in love and decide they will marry in the morning and live happily ever after.

However, Prince Edward's step-mother, the Queen has been doing everything in her power to stop her step-son meeting a young woman and planning to marry. She is not willing to give up her throne for anyone. So when Giselle rushes to her nuptials the following day, the Queen disguises herself as an old hag and manages to persuade the naive young woman to look into the wishing well and wish for her heart's desire. As Giselle stands at the edge of the well, the old hag pushes her. Not to certain death - but worse. The bottom of the well leads to the sewers underneath New York, and that is where poor Gisele is catapulted to.

Completely unprepared for 'real-life', Gisele wanders New York and alarms more than a few people with her strange behaviour. Then she comes into acquaintance with divorce lawyer Robert and his six year old daughter, who is transfixed by this strange young woman in a beautiful dress. Exercising her famous pester power, little Morgan persuades her daddy to let the 'princess' stay at their apartment. Gisele has now introduced herself and told them of her plight, and assures them that her one true love, Edward, will come and rescue her. Convinced she is mentally ill, Robert takes pity on her and allows her back to the apartment to rest.

Back in Gisele's home of Andalasia, chipmunk Pip is explaining to Prince Edward what has happened. The Prince immediately jumps into the well to rescue his Princess. The Queen is incensed and sends her faithful servant after him to try and stop the two lovebirds finding one another.

This is where the fun really begins. As the dim-witted Prince searches high and low for his love, Gisele's attitude to life slowly starts to change, and she and Robert establish a connection, despite both of their best efforts to ignore it. New York descends into madness as the Edward and Gisele run around with their funny attitudes and have people singing and dancing in the streets, and being held at swordpoint. You'll have to wait and see what happens in the end, I don't want to give it all away!

I really liked this film. I was expecting it to be very childish (I'm not saying that's a bad thing), which it was, particularly in the parts which are in Andalasia. But I also felt the parts which were in New York were very well acted - as essentially Amy Adams who plays 'real-life' Giselle has to act like a naive cartoon character, and she was very convincing. James Marsden, who plays Prince Edward was also fantastic - playing the typical arrogant and rather stupid Prince. The silly pair were definitely the stars of the film, which I thought was great. It was really funny, particularly in 'real-life.'

This film is a credit to Disney. It's an excellent mixture of the cheesy (but great!) fairy tales of old and the more modern films they're making. It really is what they do best, and had many allusions to animated films gone by: The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves etc. But on that note, you don't really miss out on anything if you haven't seen those films, it just adds a little more comedy value if you have. Enchanted is fab. Girls from 3 to 63 will enjoy this - but doubt very much any guys will.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good, 19 April 2008
I saw Enchanted on the plane home from Egypt and I was surprised how good it was. The story is about a princess called Giselle who lives in a place called Andelasia hoping that she will meet Prince Edward and marry him. The queen of Andelasia, who is Prince Edwards mum, does not want Prince Edward to marry Giselle as she will lose her throne so she pushes Giselle into a magic vortex and Giselle emerges in New York City. Prince Edward hears what happens to Giselle and along with a chipmunk called Pip jumps into the vortex to rescue her. From here the film shows Giselle's struggle to cope with life in New York and Prince Edwards schemes to get her back.

Enchanted is a good film that delivers a few good laughs and can be enjoyed by a lot of people.
