Film #58: Enchanted (2007)

Directed by: Kevin Lima

Starring: Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Susan Sarandon

Remember when you were younger and you used to watch all those Disney films? They always had happy endings and singing and dancing.

This film is basically all that singing and classic Disney magic but in the real modern-day world.

Giselle lives in a forest (as all Disney characters) and finds her prince. Unfortunately, the Prince's mom doesn't want to share and so casts a spell on Giselle and sends her to the real world. The prince goes after her along with his servant and a chipmunk.

While there, Giselle finds a man and eventually falls in love with him instead.

The singing and dancing is still in there but has a funny slant on it, e.g. Giselle sings and calls animals to clean the apartment a la Cinderella, but they are vermin like rats, cockroaches and pigeons.

It's a funny film with some heart-warming moments that bring the old Disney magic back. It's like being a kid again.
