DVD Reviews of Enchanted (Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: Serviceable Romantic Comedy. . .
Summary: 3 Stars
Amy Adams stars as Giselle, a fairy tale princess banished by wicked, power-hungry Narissa, her mother-in-law to be (Susan Sarandon), from Andalasia, her idyllic cartoon-land to the live action, hardened streets of New York City. Patrick Dempsey plays Robert, a single-parent and divorce lawyer who becomes Giselle's unlikely rescuer and real life Prince Charming. Needless to say, Giselle eventually wins everyone over--including of course Dempsey's cynical character. With her own Prince Edward (James Mardsen) and an evil minion of Narissa in hot pursuit, Giselle gradually adapts to her new world, while maintaining a storybook innocence and cheerful affect that's straight out of Neverland.
As a whole, this comedy probably looked better on paper than it comes across on film. While the idea of "Enchanted" is a charming twist on the musical and fairytale genres that combines elements of "Sleeping Beauty," "Snow White," or "Peter Pan," the film is only mildly amusing. True, there are inspired bits such as Giselle's fairytale-speak and Prince Edward's clash with a city bus driver and his later attempt to break into song just before being trampled in the streets of Central Park. But "Enchanted" isn't knowing, hip or even alive like recent comedies such as "Juno." Indeed, this wholesome film is appropriate for children, though adults may find it somewhat underwhelming. The actors gamely play their parts, the direction is seamless and the production values high, but one can't help feeling that, in the end, "Enchanted" only comes across as passable, when it could have been so much better.
DVD Review: Made by committee.
Summary: 3 Stars
Fairy-tale characters enter the real world. Great idea. An excellent actress plays princess Giselle and sings well. Entertaining. Yet, a missed opportunity. Whoever at Disney thought cockroaches helping the princess clean the house was a good idea, should be committed to a mental-institution. The writers having the characters make poses from past Disney fairy-tales, shows the writers unfocused from writing a better story.
The actress playing Giselle the princess does an excellent job portraying fairy-tale innocence. The writers should have had the innocent fairy-tale characters have heroic character and heroic acts that wow us. Instead, they portray the prince as a dummy. I did not like the idea of one guy stealing the other guy's girl.
Worth watching for some good ideas and some good scenes, but frustrating for lack of purity. This movie was made by committee with some smart people starting great ideas and some other weird people spoiling promising ideas.
DVD Review: So Cute! Even if Susan Sarandon is a little creepy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is pretty much exactly what you'd expect: a cute story with a happy ending and just a hint of a twist in the middle. Still, it is executed very well. The music works perfectly, and the acting is done very well. Everyone seems to do a good job of hamming it up without going over the top. As noted in the title, Susan Sarandon seems a bit of an odd choice for her role, and it's a little creepy, but overall she pulls it off.DVD Review: The original is better
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a parody of "The Sleeping Beauty", a classic that is now coming to Blu-ray. But unlike that wonderful, carefully planed classic which took the Disney studio almost a decade to develop, Enchanted lacks sincerity.
It pretends to put the fairy tale world upside down and teach a couple of things about "true love", but instead ends up reaffirming the fairy tale concepts, but without the class and elegance of the original. In fact, bad taste is all over the place: Almost-nudity, a joke involving faeces, talk about boys wanting "only one thing", easy jokes copied from Shrek and "Splash", a nauseating musical number in Central Park...
If you're still itching to know what Enchanted is all about, rent it before buying. And buy The Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray.
DVD Review: Just a cute movie all around. Modern day parable
Summary: 5 Stars
If you enjoy modern day fairy tales, and also enjoy movies filmed in New York City, then you will most likely love this movie. The star is a little dopey, but dopey in a cute way. She charms the proverbial single parent, father of a small child, and the rest is mystery. Good special effects. The counter person, at the store where I bought this said, "this is my daughters FAVORITE movie...she can watch it over and over again.." It was a good, unsolicited testimonial, and it turns out the kids is pretty much right. This movie has something that most people will find appealing. The only downside about the movie is Susan Sarandon's part of the "Evil witch". It seems forced, and almost like she's pandering to the kids. Other than that it's all "happily ever after". Some of the specific NYC scenes that people will enjoy are the "time portal" directly in Times Square, which any NY'er or tourist can connect with. Others include a funny scene where a homeless person steals her tiara, and bolts down the street. Funny stuff.
Description of Enchanted (Full Screen Edition)
A fairy tale comes to life in this thoroughly original new Disney Classic. Drawing inspiration from its classic heritage Disney creates an inspired story unlike any you've experienced before. Filled with excitement fun and incredible music from the legendary Alan Menken ENCHANTED is the ultimate fish-out-of-water adventure. For princess-to-be Giselle life is a fairy tale -- until she's banished from the animated land of Andalasia and thrust into the very unmagical live-action world of modern-day Manhattan. When a cynical no-nonsense divorce lawyer comes to her aid little does he realize that this joyful wide-eyed innocent is about to enchant him.ENCHANTED -- the musical comedy that will have your entire family under its spell.System Requirements:Running Time: 107 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?PG UPC:?786936716023 Manufacturer No:?05238800Life is idyllic in the fairytale world where conflict is minimal and breaking into song solves every problem, but what happens when a princess from the fairy world gets magically transported into the real world? Enchanted begins in the animated fairytale world of Andalasia where Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) is destined to marry Prince Edward (James Marsden) and live happily ever after. Problem is, Edward's step-mother Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) doesn't want to give up the throne and will do anything to get Giselle out of Edward's life. Queen Narissa's solution is to push Giselle into a well that magically lands Giselle smack in the middle of the real world--the center of Time Square in New York City, to be exact. This launches the live-action portion of the film where Giselle immediately realizes that things are frighteningly different in this new world and that she is ill-prepared for the callous ways of the people who inhabit it. Giselle finds herself alone on a stormy night in the wrong end of town, but a chance encounter with Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and his princess-loving daughter Morgan (Rachel Covey) leads to a warm, safe place to spend the night and the beginnings of a complicated, yet compelling relationship. As Giselle begins to question the fairy-tale truths she's always inherently believed, Robert's outlook on life and love also begins to change significantly. Parallels to the classic Disney fairytales, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty abound in the form of a King's and Queen's ball, small animals and rodents who clean house when called, the threat of poisoned apples, characters impulsively breaking into song, and the power of the kiss of true love and the absurd juxtaposition of fairytale idealism and stark reality is hilariously funny. Features music by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz of Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame fame, Wicked's Broadway Elpheba Idina Menzel as Nancy, and even a brief appearance by former Princess voice talent Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas). Enchanted is one of the best, most entertaining Disney films of the year. (Ages 6 and older with parental guidance due to some scary images and mild innuendo) --Tami Horiuchi
