I was surprisingly "enchanted" by this movie, it was actually very good.

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2008)

I was forced to watch this movie by my girlfriend who is really into chick flicks unlike me, who is mainly into crime dramas and action movies, however, I ended up thanking her for it. At first I was opposed to this movie because I figured it was another lame attempt by Disney to ruin its classics that were unparallel in uniqueness and greatness to other children's movies, by making sequels, and making cheesy, corny romance films. However, my assumption was pleasantly proved wrong when watching this movie. This movie is actually pretty sweet and heartfelt. It isn't the typical cheesy romance you would expect walking into the theater. It is actually a very good and pleasant movie.
The music is very appealing and euphonious. The lyrics are very good as well. It is the fact that nothing was done over the top that stopped the movie from killing itself. Demsey, playing an uptight single father, does a good job of being real and not going over the edge and turning the movie into a sappy pathetic disaster. Meanwhile, Adams, does the best job with her character. She's a great symbol of happiness and love and is perfect with every word and facial expression throughout the movie. She adds a great deal of humor to the movie by acting very nonchalant while embracing her childlike and innocent role.
In short, for someone who would put this movie as your bottom 100 movie to watch, i put it on my top 10. It was a really good movie and would be time well spent when watching just to get some enjoyment and childish emotion while watching a movie.
