The animated sequences are disappointingly flat, the real-life parts underwritten, but Amy Adams works hard and keeps a straight face in the lead, and the time passes amiably enough.

Overhyped family movie covered in a cellophane shrink-wrap of corporate Disney plastic-ness.

Beginning like the classic animated stories, with a beautiful princess being rescued by a handsome prince, it raises a laugh immediately with a brilliant send-up of the saccharin duets the young lovers usually sing.

Susan Sarandon is terrific as the Evil Queen; Timothy Spall pops up like a well-used wart; and James Marsden is the terrifically thick and handsome Prince.

Kicking off as a traditional 2-D animation before transforming into live animation when we hit the Big Apple, the film's title doesn't quite describe the film's likely effect on adults, but girls aged six-12 are sure to love it.

It's not quite as enchanted or magical as it could have been, but this family romp still manages to be good fun, and is lifted by fantastic turns from Amy Adams and James Marsden.

Subversive enough for older brother, sweet enough for kid sis, this cine-panto’s a safe if not spectacular choice for a Chrimbo family outing. The cartoon chipmunk almost steals it, but Adams’ dippy dazzle is the movie’s heart, soul and lungs.

It’s only when the story hits the streets of NYC and Adams starts hamming it up (much like Julie Hagerty did in ‘Airplane’) that we start seeing the fruits of a grand Mickey-take.

For the most part this is a perky delight that takes a cheeky glee in biting the gloved hand that feeds.

The dedicated fairy tale fan will have tons of fun spotting all the references. Adams, meanwhile, gives one of the comedy performances of the year.

This witty romantic romp playfully spins its story with the required cuteness constantly subverted by a very sharp script.

Enchanted is an enjoyable comedy with several hilarious gags and a genuinely charming performance from Amy Adams. Worth seeing.

It is rare for me to use a term like 'magical' to describe a film, but this movie deserves it.

...an admittedly overlong yet thoroughly engaging effort that brings a fresh spin to the old fish-out-of-water formula.
