Echantingly different kind of romantic comedy!

***I'm not sure if there's a spoiler in this...but I'll put up a warning JUST IN CASE!***
As I was a little girl, I was content with watching my Disney favorite princesses meet the man of their dreams. Now that I am a teenager, I often found myself watching "real" movies. It seems as though animated features weren't for me anymore. But what do you know? Disney came up with something "real" and animated, satisfying my thirst for seeing a princess reach her dreams once again...in a very different way.
Enter 'Enchanted'. It has Disney trademarks - the characters suddenly breaking into song and dance number in many scenes, the songs every viewer will learn to cherish and the sappy love scenes and happy endings that leave us feeling good.
So, what's different about it? For one, two different worlds collide (literally!) Then, there's less of the drama and more of the comedy, spoofing a lot of our beloved fairy tales, without making us hate them for it!
Amy Adams was awesome as Giselle, the "lost" princess. as pointed out by a user on this site, not many actresses can pull off playing a princess, acting "stupid" in the middle of New York City. She has a lovely voice too!
Patrick Dempsey played Robert Philipp's part well too. Robert is a lawyer with a little daughter, Morgan (played by adorable Rachel Covey). I do not watch 'Grey's Anatomy' but Patrick Dempsey's name was the first familiar name I heard when I looked up the film. That is, until I learned James Marsden was going to be in it.
This man is hilarious! James Marsden played Prince Edward's role to perfection. Most of the one-liners I remember from the movie are his! He makes me crack up in every scene he's in. Despite his antics and silly comebacks, everyone finds themselves loving this egotistic prince charming. James Marsden charmed his way through this movie (and possibly into the hearts of every fan!)
If you're looking for a different kind of romantic comedy that the young and the young at heart would love, then 'Enchanted' is the right film for you. Go see it with your siblings, your kids, even your parents and grandparents. I saw it with my friends and we still laughed about the film even after we've seen it. And if you've already watched it then, you probably get what I mean. No wonder it's such a hit in the box office!
Thanks for making such a great film, peasants (Disney)! *wink*
