Enchanted
The real world and the animated world collide.
Beautiful princess Giselle (Amy Adams) is banished by an evil queen (Susan Sarandon) from her magical, musical, animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern day Manhattan.
Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (James Marsden) back home - she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

I loved this movie! I've always been a fan of fairy tales and the like and really enjoyed how this movie poked fun at them while also demonstrating some of the fairy tale qualities that should have a place in real life. I found myself wondering through most of the movie how it could possibly end happily given the turns that the relationships were having, and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.Another Surprise! - LadyBugAbode
Again, I was totally surprised by this film. I'm not a fan of Patrick Dempsey (too arrogant), even though I love Grey's Anatomy, so I had no intentions of every seeing this film. A friend felt the same way, but someone who has the same taste in movies told her to watch it, so we reluctantly watched it together, completely ready to shut it off the moment it got stupid.
Needless to say it wasn't what either of us expected, and while Patrick Dempsey was not brilliant, he didn't ruin the film.
Amy Adams was great in this movie. She was so believable as this naive princess from a far off land. Her voice and giggle was very "Disney-esque". At first I thought she was going to be supremely annoying, but once you get through the first bit, you realize she's playing the part perfectly. Susan Sarandon did very well as usual, she plays a great villain. There are some very clever lines in this film, which make it all the more enjoyable.
Well worth watching, and owning, actually. It's one the kids will watch over and over, but won't annoy the adults!great fun! - samiam1
Very entertaining. I enjoyed all the poking fun at the cliched fairy tale and the modern spin this movie takes on those cliches. Fun for the whole family, not just something for the whole family that only the kids will enjoy, but parents too. Amy Adams is pretty great, as always. I would have liked to see more scenes with Prince Edward, as his character was pretty f'n funny.
