Enchantment only goes so far in Disney's Enchanted, a sometimes clever, other times grating mix of live action and animation that plays tricks with levels of movie reality as the world of fairy-tale animation invades contemporary New York.
Top CriticOne of those rare pieces of 'all ages entertainment' that will actually work for all ages, Enchanted succeeds most of all as a showcase for its superb leading lady.
The only thing about the film of any lasting significance is Amy Adams, the bewitchingly good actress who plays the princess.
Amy Adams shines in this fabulous fable about what happens when the fairy tale world takes a bite out of the Big Apple.
There are some enchanting aspects in Enchanted -- the most enchanting being Amy Adams.
When it's funny, it's good. But when it takes a turn for the heartwarming, it feels more like a Disney knockoff than a send-up.
The charm of the actors, the unabashedly romantic goofiness and the clever winks at classic Disney set pieces make the movie not only kid-friendly but a guilty pleasure for adults as well.
A shimmering pastiche of missed opportunities.
Enchanted proves that a motion picture can be light and frothy and yet still be intelligent and emotionally rewarding. As unlikely as it may seem, this is one of the year's best and brightest films.
That rare comedy that will appeal to the whole family, as it indulges in all the dreams of fairy-tale romance while making a few 21st-century adjustments.
Enchanted isn't something to get worked up over -- not only because it's so boring, but because it can't even be bothered to adhere to its own internal logic.
An expert blend of comedy, romance and adventure, Enchanted will be just as fun for adults as for children.
Simple, relentlessly charming fairytale conjures some old-fashioned Mouse House magic - and a star-making turn from Amy Adams.
Amy Adams is this movie.
More than lives up to its title. A full-blown musical that commutes between Disney's patented cartoon universe and the real world with cleverness and grace, this splashy production reminds one of nothing in the Disney canon so much as Mary Poppins.
Top CriticEssentially postmodern and deconstructivist, what could have been a mishmash of animation and live action, fantasy and realism, CG effects and handdrawn segments, under Lima's inspired helm becomes a unified entertainment suitable for kids and adults.
Adams is the wish your heart makes when you want a storybook princess for the ages. She's wicked good.
Works like a charm!
Tween girls whom the movie is aimed at will have a blast.
June 25, 2008:
A dark fairy tale turned contemporary urban romance tossing together time zones and centuries, and animation and real humans with mixed-company kid fare. Time will tell, depending upon the zone of preference.
