Simply an Enchanting Movie! Take it to Broadway!

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2008)

Amy Adams is simply delightful as Giselle, the engaged woman of Prince Edward, in a land called Anadalusia, a land where it lives in Animation. The beginning is a bit slow and typical. Once Giselle is tricked and pushed into the wishing well by a witch who is really Edward's evil stepmother. The cast is first rate with Amy Adams as Giselle, James Marsden as Prince Edward, Timothy Spall OBE as Nathaniel- the queen's henchman, Susan Sarandon as the wicked stepmother, Tony Winner Idina Menzel who won for playing Elfaba on Broadway's Wicked plays Nancy, the girlfriend, of PAtrick Dempsey's character, Robert. Robert takes Giselle in because his six year old motherless daughter, Morgan, insists that she is a princess. Of course, this is a Disney film. I'm sorry that one of the songs didn't win the Academy award for Best Original Song. I think this movie can be adapted into a Broadway musical since Disney pretty much dominates Broadway shows especially musicals.
