Its success is largely due to the casting of Amy Adams who is simply sensational. She weaves some serious movie magic into this thing.

Reviews for Enchanted
Adorable fairy tale is a fabulous family flick.
11/20/07
While the tongue-in-cheek comedy plays a major role, there's also a warm, charming story here that makes the movie much more than simple satire.

Enchanted is a sugar spun delight. It's as fluffy as a bunch of newborn bunnies and as cute as an entire collection of buttons.
11/20/07
Eventually peddles the same old ass-backwards messages, equating physical beauty with goodness, and positing that a woman's greatest dream is that a hunk will materialize out of thin air and make her a contented homemaker and wife.

It’s silly and sweet, but never cloyingly so
11/20/07
Enchanted is easily the best Disney movie in years. It could even be the best film of the year.
11/20/07
a great, clever concept, and it's family fun
11/20/07
a rare, fun, loving lampoon of what made Disney great, and one of those special treats you look forward to at holiday time.
11/20/07
Given the possibilities it's not particularly inventive, but it is nice to see a comedy so affectionate with the conventions it spoofs.
11/20/07
It couldn't be whispier or more Disney-rific -- don't expect any grand philosophies on life beyond 'ain't true love grand?' -- but as a way to pass a couple hours in sheer movie-movie bliss, you can't go wrong.
11/20/07
No air quotes or winks at the audience, just a fresh, sweet story. And that's movie magic.
11/20/07
The best Disney fantasy-musical since Mary Poppins, a hilarious, dazzling send-up of the thing that made Disney what it is today fairy-tale princesses.
11/20/07
Adams is daffy and delicious in a star-making role, and the script, direction and music are spot-on.
11/20/07
[Amy Adams is] every Disney princess in one ebullient package.
11/20/07
Enchanted charmingly reworks all the old [Disney] favorites while incorporating fresh twists of its own.
11/20/07
Disney's gloriously tongue-in-cheek parody of its own princess genre is notable for how it's G-rated heroine makes us realize how far a bit of innocence and optimism can uplift our outlook in today's untrusting world.
11/20/07
A hugely entertaining, clever comic fairy tale. Most of the credit goes to Oscar nominee Amy Adams.
11/20/07
This charmer of a film runs a little long and is heavy on the CGI dragon. The real special effect is Adams, who sings the Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz songs with brio, complementing her vivacious performance.
11/20/07
It's Amy Adams who lends the role a heart bigger than the frame can contain. I defy anyone to watch this movie and not fall hopelessly in love with her performance.
