Check out my review of the film http://awesomereviewer.tumblr.com/post/21704204793/enchanted-review

For those of you who don't want to go to the site:

“Enchanted” is a fun movie about finding yourself, not losing site with reality, but also at the same time following your dreams. It is fairly well directed especially the choreography of the musical numbers. Use of special effect and to make it feel like an enchanted Disney fairy tale are quite mind blowing. Writing is top-notch and incredibly funny. It’s really fun trying to pick out all the Disney references in the movie, which are very intelligently implemented.

The characters are amazing and fun in “Enchanted,” and the actors do a great job of portraying them. Giselle, wonderfully acted by Amy Adams, is the typical Disney princess, she’s sweet, kind, and has an amazing singing voice. Amy Adams does a great job of bringing this character to life and adding so much likability to a pretty much Snow White like character in this day and age. She truly did and Oscar worthy performance and should have been nominated. Patrick Dempsey does a good job playing Robert. However his character is a little dull and more realistic to the other colorful cast. James Marsden, Edward, was another amazing performance. He really captured the clueless prince aspect of the character so well. As always he did a great job playing the deal third wheel we wish the main character will fall for. Narissa played by Susan Sarandon, is one of the wickedest villains in a Disney movie. She’s mean, nasty, and quite funny. Susan’s performance is great and the ending is battle is just amazing.

The most important part of any musical, the songs. The songs are done by the legendary Alan Menken and the amazing lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The music and songs in “Enchanted” are just amazing, some of the finest songs in a musical in a long time. “How Do You Know” is the great Broadway spectacular in this film. It’s such an amazing toe tapping sing along song that jsut captures the imagination. “Happy Working Song” is another fun song. It has so many fun and intelligent lyrics that are funny for kids and even funnier for adults. It’s a tune you will not forget easily and might even hum when doing your own house work. The other songs are fantastic too, but my favorite by far is “True Love’s Kiss” the most magical song in the movie. It takes me back to classic Disney love songs and makes you want to fall in love (again).

There are some segments of classical hand drawn animation which are beautiful. Fluid motion and vivid colors make it very appealing to the eye. Also some very moments are thrown in here.

Overall “Enchanted” is a fantastic musical and movie. It has lovable characters, amazing music, and a engaging story. You can really tell because of this movie Disney went on to do “The Princess and the Frog” and “Tangled” both of which are fairy tales with a twist. I personally think the movie should have won for Best Original Song at the Oscars. I also think Amy Adams should have been nominated for Best Actress and the movie Should have been nominated for Best Picture. It is that good. To me the film is the modern day “Mary Poppins” and Amy Adam is the modern day Julie Andrews. I give it a 4.5/5, engaging, fun, and a true classic.
