Very entertaining Disney film

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2017)

Disney's Enchanted (2007) is a very entertaining well thought out movie for all ages. Amy Adams is a perfect pick to play the lead here, she's bubbly, endlessly cheerful, and fits the princess perfectly. Patrick Dempsey is great in his role as well, he plays the widowed successful divorce attorney father raising a young daughter. He is very distant and detached in the beginning of the movie but as the film progresses and as he falls for Amy Adams, he starts to break from that and become more warm and we get to learn a lot more about his character. The character depth in the movie is very well executed and is more satisfying than most run of the mill family oriented films. And then we get to Susan Sarandon as the evil queen, which in my opinion was the best casting decision in the whole movie. She is so effortlessly evil and deliciously wicked. The visual effects are masterful and very cool to see, it's obvious that a large amount of effort was given to special effects, which is a very necessary thing for a film like this. You get an overall good feeling while viewing this movie, and the well written good hearted characters and great actors to play them are largely due to that. The movie incorporates different classic Disney animated films in the monumental ending. Such as leaving behind a glass slipper (Cinderella), a fire breathing dragon (sleeping beauty), and others, which was neat. I suggest this film as good well done entertainment. 8/10.
