Has It Been 10 Years Already?

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2017)

Holy Crap this film is a decade old. For the record, I oppose any Disney movie about entitled princess that isn't content with her life, isn't taking responsibility for her own happiness but expect her happiness to be handed to her a man. This kind garbage is the very reason why millennials are such a dysfunctional bunch. If you want your daughters to not grow up being a attention seeking slut, you would do well in teaching her about taking responsibility and working hard for her own happiness.
So, if you are living in the real world; Enchanted is a charming film that at the least, attempt to make the princess take some responsibility for her happiness and to at least try to work for it. Of course it's suppose to be silly and fun and for the most part it is. The songs are very catchy and infectious; reminiscent of 1960s Disney.
Amy Adams plays the part of Giselle mostly well. She sings great but she overplays the doe-eyed maiden. It wouldn't be so bad if she was younger but unfortunately she's not that young to be believably naive. This also affect the way she tries to be cutesy and adorable; being cute and adorable only works if you are young enough to pull it off and Amy Adam barely managed to do it.
This goes the same with James Marsden's Prince Edward. I think he is cast well as the dumb prince and Marsden certainly acts and sings the part, but the character is just too dumb to be believable. You are dumb and full of bravado because you are young and James Marden isn't that young to be believably dumb.
Patrick Dempsey, Susan Sarandon and Timothy Spall played their part without any discernible flaws.
Overall, the film is okay but not outstanding.
