An enchanting experience

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2008)

I really had no idea what to expect out of this movie. It was billed to me as a "chick flick," but with enough eye-candy to keep the guys interested. Boy, were they wrong.
The movie is simply enchanting and a deep story about love and all it should mean. Claire Danes has somehow escaped my notice until now, but after her fantastic performance in this film, I am going to be looking for more of her.
Michelle Pfeiffer was simply wonderful as the witch and really gave a great performance in every scene.
And, Robert De Niro. Just what can I say about his gender-bending performance? He was a real pleasure to watch.
The whole movie was hilarious, with jokes just spread throughout. It was just what you want from a fantasy film. You can have your hobbits, I'll take Danes, Pfeiffer, Kate Magowan, and Sienna Miller anytime.
