Enchanted (2007)
10/10
Excellent Film
22 November 2007
I just saw this film last night and absolutely loved it. Much as the plot would suggest, it's everything you would expect of a Disney fairy tale come to life, with a bit of a modern twist. Amy Adams had the difficult job of portraying a character that could have easily been very two dimensional and clichéd, but she was fantastic, making Giselle a character the audience could sympathize with and root for. The film really has something in it for everyone. The women, men, children, and teenagers in the audience I saw it with all seemed to truly enjoy it. It is an excellent romantic comedy, but also wonderful family entertainment. While it does have moments of humor and subtext meant for the adults to appreciate, this is a film you don't have to be afraid to take your children to see. It contains positive messages for both the young and old - even hints of female empowerment that are so lacking in many of the classic fairy tales. I highly recommend this film.
