Adams is somehow more cartoonish than the animated version of Giselle at the beginning of the film.

Reviews for Enchanted
Wonderful family entertainment.
11/22/07
Adams carries Enchanted's fairy-tale conceit on her tiny shoulders - and on her, it floats as if sprinkled with pixie dust.
11/21/07
The gag wouldn't work with just anyone in the lead, but Adams' openhearted performance never winks. She really does want the best for everyone, and can't fathom why they don't all feel the same.
11/21/07
Maybe it's not a whole new world, but it's one you already know and love quite well.
11/21/07
Disney goes meta in this witty, exuberant musical comedy whose parody and nostalgia serve a sweet and affecting romance.
11/21/07
Portraying a version of Disney's Snow White, [Adams] owns the character, down to every warble and twirl.
11/21/07
An inspired Disney fairy-tale mash-up.

Enchanted is not a perfect movie ... But it is so thoroughly delightful when Adams is on screen you forgive its faults with a smile.
11/21/07
What could have been an epic Disney misfire is saved by the charming Adams.
11/21/07
Wonderful performances by Amy Adams and James Marsden as the real-life versions of a classic Disney princess and her prince charming. They are magnificent.
11/21/07
Enchanted isn't just a culture-clash fable, it's also a throwback to one of classic Hollywood's giddiest genres: the screwball comedy.
11/21/07
Charming. I wanted to sing all the way home and make some clothes out of my favorite curtains.
11/21/07
The film, anchored by an entrancing performance by Amy Adams and a strong ensemble cast, is cleverly written. The situations are funny, and the story feels effortlessly entertaining.
11/21/07
Surprisingly sophisticated riff on animated fairy-tale movie cliches.
11/21/07
How refreshing it is that Enchanted gently makes fun of Disney tradition while upholding it at the same time. There are no cheap or vulgar jokes, and sentiment never turns to treacle.
11/21/07
An irresistible blend of screwball comedy and Disney fairy-tale musical, Enchanted takes its enchanting premise and prances away with it, holding the audience happily captive.
11/21/07
Enchanted squeaks by on the charm of its performers, particularly Adams.
11/21/07
Enchanted hits every high note, and a great family film that entertains both the kids and adults is something we can all be truly thankful for.
11/21/07
The results look something like an overscaled Muppet movie (which ain't such a bad thing in itself).
