Rated PG some scary images and mild innuendo.
Directed by Kevin Lima (Tarzan, A Goofy Movie)
Starring Patrick Dempsey, Amy Adams, Susan Sarandon…
Definitely worth my best score. Enchanted was one of the most creative films I’ve seen in years.
A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern day New York City in a story about an animated princess (Adams) who is pushed into a magic well that transforms her into a real person who must make her way around New York City. Her innocence is only met with harsh real-world attitude until she finally encounters a good Samaritan, a handsome lawyer (Dempsey) and his six year old daughter. Meanwhile, an animated prince and a chipmunk transform as well, making the journey to try to bring the princess home.
It’s nice to see something new. This film is creative, original and just plain fun. It combines romance, humor, and occasional musical elements in a movie that the whole family can watch.
I brought my entire family to the screening and we, along with the rest of the entire theatre, all loved it.
The film started strong and kept everyone’s attention throughout. The ending had some corny elements… but nothing catastrophic.
Go see this one in the theatre!
SHOULD KIDS SEE IT?
Yes. The film is completely clean. I flinched once when the fairytale princess stepped out of the shower in a towel… but that was the extent of it. The film was good clean fun.
