Enchanted is worth seeing for Adams, and children will adore the slapstick performers, including a prominently featured CGI chipmunk.

Reviews for Enchanted
Adams' performance is the kind that deserves an Academy Award nomination yet seldom gets one.

Cute and clever enough to enchant little girls -- not to mention their mothers.
11/21/07
The film affectionally spoofs animated-fantasy formulas.
11/21/07
It's obvious but inescapable: Enchanted is as good as its name.

Top CriticDisney satirizes its own princess megabusiness -- but still goes for the standard payoffs -- with this funny story of a fairy-tale heroine who finds herself in real-life New York City.
11/21/07
There’s plenty to enjoy here.
11/21/07
It's novel, it's amusing and it can't help but peter out in the third act as the screenplay trucks toward a Big Apple showdown between good and evil. By this time, Enchanted is merely coasting on Adams' considerable charm. It's enough.
11/21/07
A gently meta fairy tale that pokes fun at Disney's animated classics, just never too hard to hurt.
11/21/07
Enchanted manages the trick of recasting sugar spun Disney fairy tales of old into a winning, modern-day comedy. Walt Disney would be impressed.
11/21/07
A heart-winning musical comedy that skips lightly and sprightly from the lily pads of hope to the manhole covers of actuality, if you see what I mean. I'm not sure I do.

Top CriticThe sight of Adams gliding and beaming and chirping in this movie is just about the happiest time I've had watching an actor do anything all year.
11/21/07
Adams is truly magical. She brews up her most transfixing expressions when words fail her.
11/21/07
The jokes rarely miss and the result is a refreshingly sardonic fairy tale.
11/21/07
Amy Adams is absolutely adorable as the enchanting fish-out-of-water princess.
11/21/07
Innovative concept meets gratingly dull plot. Take your 9-year-old, but bring your No Doze.
11/21/07
Silly yet never quite satirical, it's like Shrek without his teeth.
11/21/07
Smart, sassy and sweet but...never vulgar or mean, it's a knowing but not condescending modern family-friendly fairy tale.
11/21/07
Enchanted works its magic largely by sending up some of the very stereotypes that have long been Walt Disney Pictures’ profitable stock in trade.
11/21/07
Top CriticWe believe she is a Disney princess. No doubt Giselle will be joining her forebears at the theme parks.
