The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Holy Crap this film is a decade old. For the record, I oppose any Disney movie about entitled princess that isn't content with her life, isn't taking responsibility for her own happiness but expect her happiness to be handed to her a man. This kind garbage is the very reason why millennials are such a dysfunctional bunch. If you want your daughters to not grow up being a attention seeking slut, you would do well in teaching her about taking responsibility and working hard for her own happiness.So, if you are living in the real world; Enchanted is a charming film that at the least, attempt to make the princess take some responsibility for her happiness and to at least try to work for it. Of course it's suppose to be silly and fun and for the most part it is. The songs are very catchy and infectious; reminiscent of 1960s Disney.Amy Adams plays the part of Giselle mostly well. She sings great but she overplays the doe-eyed maiden. It wouldn't be so bad if she was younger but unfortunately she's not that young to be believably naive. This also affect the way she tries to be cutesy and adorable; being cute and adorable only works if you are young enough to pull it off and Amy Adam barely managed to do it.This goes the same with James Marsden's Prince Edward. I think he is cast well as the dumb prince and Marsden certainly acts and sings the part, but the character is just too dumb to be believable. You are dumb and full of bravado because you are young and James Marden isn't that young to be believably dumb.Patrick Dempsey, Susan Sarandon and Timothy Spall played their part without any discernible flaws.Overall, the film is okay but not outstanding.
Why am I writing this movie so many years after it came out? My kids are adults. II have grandchildren. And all of us love this still, especially my seven year old grandson. I think the reason this movie is so popular is the time as of it. It is not bogged down with politics. It's not trying to give some sub textual message. It a simple movie that encourage you to jump on the bandwagon of innocence, getting rid of that heavy load of world weariness It encourages us to take part in that good feeling againAnd because they aren't trying to show politics etc we can really sit back and enjoy it Honestly in these times with ear quakes and hurricanes etc it is a breath of fresh air where we can sit down and just enjoy. A boy meets a girl who is unofficially engaged. And while he is trying to help her he falls in love. The girl teaches the worldly boy about what love is truly about
I like this movie's style. This movie use both animation and live filming styles. When I watched this movie at first, I was so exciting. This is one of the Disney movies. Especially, it is high quality. I think that Amy Adams who acts Giselle is a great actress. She completely expresses a view of the Disney's world. Of course, other actors and actresses express that, but Giselle is the best. I was impressed when see her hand motion. That is the real Disney's character. I want those who watch the movie to focus of that point. The story is also great. I recommend to watch this movie at least once. It takes us to Disney world.
At the first, Enchanted looks like ordinary fairytale animation. However we are surprised because the scene changed into the N.Y. city. Then we realize that this film changed fusion of real and fantasy. Disney masochistically pay homage its traditional princes story. It's make us fun. Firstly, we assume that prince married with prince. Zisel often sing a song of love. She teaches about love for Fillip. Her act gradually affect him. He remember fantasy of love. On the other hand, Zisel break the old woman's view. Finally, we realize what is the real and what is the true love. It images us the word "They lived happily ever after."
