Ever So Silly, But Sweet Overall

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2007)

The opening animation is shaky, at best. This is devoid of Disney Magick AND Disney talent. But once it goes live action, the Disney charm shines through, and holds you throughout.
Medieval-Victorian Fairy Tale meets Aquarian-Age New York. I must admit, I was a bit turned off by this premise. Every Rom-Com endeavors to weave the Fairy Tale in a modern-day setting. Some succeed, but most fall flat. Enchanted does not attempt to weave a Fairy Tale, it IS a Fairy Tale, and a darned sweet and entertaining one, at that.
All in all? This is definitely a Friday/Saturday night movie for the family, children worried about a "wicked" stepmother, or dating couples, though probably not one for "the guys." I cannot say there is something here for everyone, because frankly, if you have a cynical eye for romance, this work will probably cause you to long for some Visine.
