Enchanted (2007)

"Enchanted" is a perfect family movie. It is funny, has a endearing storyline, catchy songs, great acting and good direction making it one of this year's better fantasy movies.

The movie contrasts the positive and happy characteristics of the Disney classic fairy tale characters against the negative and empty lives of people in the real world. Like Shriek, Enchanted is a parade of Disney's most beloved characters like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella.

This movie could easily be translated into Broadway hit musical like the Lion King as it has great music by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. The choreographed song and dance throughout the Enchanted are excellent.

Amy Adams is outstanding as the would-be princess Giselle and she really lights up every scene she appears in. Amy was nominated for the Oscars for Best Performance from an Actress in a Supporting Role (Junebug in 2005). Patrick Dempsey's on-screen daughter, Rachel Covey bears a strong resemblance of a young Drew Barrymore.

Enchanted re-establishes Disney as the leading studio for fairy tale / fantasy movies and will be a movie everyone can enjoy.

Enchanted - Suitable for Young Children:

Enchanted is rated PG for some scary images and mild innuendo.

The scary images include cartoon violence whereby characters and animals are harmed. Off course, all fairy tales have an evil Queen who turns into a horrifying dragon.

There are mild sexual references here and there. The Queen and her henchman appear to be in some sort of sexual relationship. Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and his girlfriend, Nancy used to live together and Giselle (Amy Adams) assumes they have slept together. There is also a scene of Robert stumbling upon Giselle in the shower but birds carrying a towel cover her. There are at least two poop jokes.
