Enchanting

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2008)

Enchanted really is enchanting. it is a fairy tale and its corny and predictable. but it is also sweet, funny and magical. its not so much about two worlds colliding but more of the two different worlds merging together.
the plot is quite simple but it is a fairy tale after all, and they are not supposed to be complicated. it also has a Disney moral which is wonderfully true.
it has a wonderful cast. Patrick Dempsey as a closeted romantic hiding behind a sober and cynical mask. Amy Adams is innocent and childlike but beautiful in a fairy tale kind of way and you believe easily Robert would fall for her. James Marsden is perfect as narcissistic and slightly dumb Prince Charming. and Susan Sarandon, she is the Wicked Witch with Class.
then there are the songs. now I finally understand all the Oscar nomination. they are simply beautiful. I couldn't choose a favorite if I wanted to.
so what is the verdict? well, its nice to be able to believe, even if it is only for two hours.
