Simply enchanting...

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2007)

Enchanted was, I could say, one of the best movies of 2007. It had all the right elements; a simple yet enthralling plot, lovable yet realistic characters, and a moving score. Knowing that the main character was a Disney Princess, I was expecting an over the top, cheesy performance, but instead I found a down-to-earth, touching performance given by Amy Adams, who was absolutely brilliant in all her princess glory. She hit all the right notes in her songs as well as in her comedic timing. Patrick Dempsey, who plays Robert was also great in his realistic portrayal of a divorce lawyer who incidentally falls head over heels for a Disney Princess (later in the movie). Enchanted isn't just about your run-of-the-mill Damsel in Distress and her Heroic Prince Charming (in fact there is a scene that ironically parodies this), it's about love, true love; in that it comes at a price and that not everything ends in "Happily ever after" just like they do in fairy tales.
