Synopsis: With a fine cast and fun in-jokes, Disney’s ENCHANTED is sure to cast a spell over both children and adults. It begins with a 2-D animation sequence reminiscent of the company’s beloved past. Surrounded by dozens of cute animals, Giselle (voiced and later played by Amy Adams) sings about her desire to find her one true love. Meanwhile, a handsome prince (James Marsden) overhears her, and they meet and fall in love. In many Disney movies, this is where the story ends, but ENCHANTED is just starting out on its journey. The prince’s wicked stepmother (Susan Sarandon) can’t stand to lose her throne, so she pushes Giselle down a well, and the beauty ends up in the real world. Gone is the animated fantasy, and a live-action Giselle lands in the middle of Times Square in New York City. Her optimism and perkiness put her at odds with the New Yorkers she encounters, but she gets help from a cynical divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) as she waits for her prince to rescue her … (Read more of this Rotten Tomatoes synopsis?)
Patrick Dempsey as the prince to this princess’ happily ever after? Like I could possibly not like this.
It’s a little known fact that I’m a born romantic. Peel back the sarcasm and I go as goo-goo as the next girlie for a little Disney romance. So when I saw this advertised when we went to see Ratatouille, I KNEW that I had to see it and it didn’t let me down. The mix of 2- and 3D worked wonderfully, and Giselle’s wonder and surprise at everything our world has to offer could bring a smile to the most cynical face. Obviously - as with most Disney films - there’s an element of reality-suspension (really - who would pick up a woman dressed as a princess wandering around NYC? You’d be running in the other direction) but if you can get past that, it won’t disappoint. :) Yay for Prince Dempsey!
