fantastic movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2007)

The first thing I saw about Enchanted was at Euro Disney, Paris. I thought I'd check it out when I come back home. And I did. I visited Disney's site about the movie and here you can see some highlights of the movie including the "that's how you know"-song in Central Park. I saw the trailer and this song and I was able to tell I'd like this movie. Having to wait several weeks to see, it was only yesterday I could make it to the theater to see movie. Still I wasn't to know what was coming.
The movie turned out to be funnier and more romantic than I expected it be.I won't tell you the whole story because it has been done several times already. The animated part was better than I expected. When Giselle arrives in New York, the immense wedding dress she wearing gives her a lot of trouble, laughs all around here. The dresses she made were quite beautiful, my favorite was the flower dress. During the movie I felt a switch from pure comedy to more romantic comedy. The most romantic part was the dance and all comes to a happy ending, when the evil queen Narissa felt from the tower. She is one of the most weird looking dragons I saw on movie screens.
The movie was over before I realized it and this means a big deal, I guess. Amy Adams makes the movie as Giselle, before I saw the movie I doubted if I would like her, but I totally fell for her portrayal of Giselle. She totally was a fairy tale princess. Patrick Dempsey was likable as divorce lawyer Robert, Timothy Spall did a fine job as Nathaniel. James Marsden did an excellent job in portraying the cocky prince Edward.(one of the finest moments of the movie are coming on his account) The chipmunk was lovable and steals the show a couple of laughable moments. Susan Sarandon makes a fine evil queen but has too little screen time. The songs and music deserve some special attention. The songs are typical Disney songs and especially the "That's how you know"-song i'll never forget. Remembering the scene, it makes me laugh. "So close" is another beautiful song. The other Disney songs are quite lovable and the happy working song is quite funny, seeing the scene before you.
So Disney poking a little fun out their own movies is quite endearing to see and it makes the best Disney movie in years. It is more of an homage. This movie is definitely worth a visit or two. Go and see it!
