Amy Adams is amazing and James Marsden does wonders with the little screen time he has. The film starts off great as it completely embraces and machine guns through the traditional Disney story in about 10 minutes. From there on it masterfully pokes fun of it's own genre without actually making fun of it. The downside comes from the last 15-20 minutes where the film kind of reverts to what it avoided. Though I did appreciate the woman saving the man. Still it's great fun with tons of laughs.

In which Disney tries to have its magic apple and eat it too. The script isn't as pointed or clever as it could be, eventually caving in to many of the conceits it initially satirizes. What the film does have going for it is a pair of robustly realized performances. Marsden plays his charming prince with a vivid doltishness. Adams has to play the same cartoonish naivety but infuse it with the emotional grounding to make her character's arc meaningful, a tricky task she accomplishes with aplomb.

Mildly clever, but it lacks any truly biting satire - this is still Disney, after all, and they'll never take any real digs at their princess gravy train. OK for what it is. Adams is great, of course, but it's Marsden as the himbo prince who steals the show.

Disney magic spills into New York reality, and the result is...well...enchanting. I said of 'Junebug' that one great performance does not a great film make. 'Enchanted' proves me wrong by building the entire movie on the back of Adams' radiating brilliance. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face through the whole duration. I'm almost ashamed of how much I liked this movie, but I shouldn't be. The best (non-Pixar) family film in years.

Thank you, Disney, for having the balls to make fun of yourself like this. Of course, it's pretty trendy to be cynical these days, but it was still a heck of a lot of fun. The first 10 minutes really make me miss 2D animation.

Although I'm trying really hard not to, I actually like this movie. Amy Adams does a great job as the lost disney-princess; she really captures the laughable euphoria that is often seen in Disney-princesses' behaviour, but never really satirized proper. Until now, that is.

At first I thought this was actually a breath of fresh air for this genre. Playfully mocking at the different fairytales, but still not losing the magic and heart that these kinds of films really need. However, it does then go on to call upon the very traits of a fairytale they've been mocking towards the end to capture their clichéd happy ending. A bit inconsistent tonally but still a fun ride.

The third part of the film is way too easy and loses the energy and great satire of the first half. Adams is great at capturing the essence of the classic Disney princesses.

A really entertaining, creative, funny and enjoyable movie. One of the best Disney pictures in recent memory, and it certainly appears to be a return to form for their non-Pixar features (I hope it is, anyway). Amy Adams...unnfff. Goddamn.

The bookends to the movie are pretty average and way too unironically sugary, but everything in between is wonderful. Amy Adams is amazing and lovable and plays her role to perfection. The film has some pretty nice songs as well and made me laugh as much as most comedies do. It's not the most powerful satire but it is quite impressive, especially considering it's made by Disney.

A delightfully fresh and funny film. Amy Adams is absolutely great. It gets a little bit winded toward the final stretch, and Susan Sarandon barely makes more than an appearance, but overall it was actually really well-made.

While it's not the film you would expect if you've only seen a brief commercial for it, the movie was hilarious! Perfectly designed for all audiences, Enchanted knows exactly what it is supposed to be and delivers. It pokes fun at most every fairy tale ever made, all the while constructing a wonderful new one!

This movie just nails it how Disney movies work and turns it into a very funny parody and yet homage. Forget James Marsden as Cyclops from X-Men, he is even better as a singing prince!

Enchanted" is a clever spin on the Disney movie formula. It pokes fun at the cliches of the Disney love stories as well as celebrates them for the joy that they bring. While the entire cast is great, the real center is Amy Adams as Giselle. She attacks the role with a wonderfully adorable energy that you can't help but fall in love with her.

I enjoyed myself quite a bit. Adams is probably at her best here, and Marsden is surprisingly hilarious and convincing. It's really well acted and very entertaining. Definitely worth watching.

Simply put, Enchanted is delightful. Aside from one annoying little poop joke, it was a tasteful family film. It's full of great humor and fun references and parody of classic Disney films. As anyone will say, Amy Adams is a gem; a truly adorable and versatile actress. It would be easy to say that she made the film wonderful, but she is really just the shining crown on top of it all. There is so much worth seeing. Awesome!

I wanted to hate this movie. I even waited to see until I was on a 5 hour flight. I really wanted to hate it. I couldn't. I actually REALLY enjoyed it. Surprisingly well acted and almost believable. Very funny yet cutely romantic. It pulled off Fairy tale much better than Ella Enchanted (which was good) or Shrek (also good).

Amy Adams rescued this movie from itself when it strayed too far into being the very thing it tries to parody, and Patrick Dempsey rounds it out nicely. Pretty enjoyable.

Like Galaxy Quest, it plays two sides of the coin equally well, sustaining itself as a very funny and very meta parody of a genre (Disney-style fairy tale animation in this case) while existing as a fun, full-fledged, and well-written example of that genre. Amy Adams is absolutely electric on camera and utterly dominates every frame she's in.

In 2005, Amy Adams gave an award-winning performance in *Junebug*; two years later, in *Enchanted*, she gives another breakout performance, this time for a much broader and younger audience. Here, Amy Adams shows that she is a skilled comic actor, with superb timing and great energy She is beautiful enough to be a princess, and cute enough to steal scenes from a chipmunk. No doubt about it: she is a rising star with a bright future.

I have to say... pretty outstanding as far as live action fairy tales go. It subverts the classic Disney film in all the right places. Performances are amazing, great songs. It started out a little iffy I thought but transformed into something irresistable.

Ok, I know this looks bad, but its actually really pretty damn good. It does a good job of satirizing the classic disney fairy tale, while being original, fun, funny and engaging on its own. Amy Adams and James Marsden are basically perfectly cast in this, and pull off their exaggerated characters well. I wasn't a fan of the ending, which seemed forced and kind of lost the momentum of the humor the movie had been working with, but overall, this was a really nice surprise.

I doubt many people will share the complete joy I had watching this movie, but it would be hard for me to imagine anyone not liking Enchanted. Sitting there with a grin on my face from start to finish, Amy Adams and the rest of the cast put on a heck of a show. Complete with great music and a charming story that pokes fun at everything Disney has laid out for the foundation of family movies, Enchanted is not just one of the year's best family films, but one of the best of any kind.

The musical scene in Central Park is one of the most joyous on film in a decade. It's too bad the third act feels rushed and flawed (it only takes a squirrel sitting on the dragon to dispense of her - a threatening villain!). But at least it reminds us of the beauty hiding in our everyday lives. (Irony: the princess is really a joke/composite of Disney 'princesses' past, yet she's now included in the canon. Yay, marketing.)

A brilliantly ironic live action take on the 'classic' Disney film with an amazing amount of humour based mainly around Disney taking the piss out of itself, yet somehow still pulling off a very imaginative and romantic New York 'fairy tale'. Adams is absolutely perfect in this film.

Cute and charming. Funny songs and a sweet story line. Both stories and songs seem to poke fun at traditional Disney classics, but in a kind-hearted way, and as it was a Disney film, I didn't mind. I would have liked a tad more depth to the characters, but all-in-all a fun and enjoyable film!

Surprisingly enjoyable all-family entertainment. I had lots of fun watching it, and only towards the end it wrapped itself in plastic-ness and corporate values of recent Disney. Credit card as a replacement for fairy godmother? Oh, come on. Amy Adams is really charming, I only have good words for her. Not a Princess Bride, but close enough.

You have to be in a mindset that isn't too cynical to enjoy this. It's a happy piece of musical fluff that is surprisingly entertaining for what it is. The use of color, music, and sound is all pretty inspired. The film works for adults as well as kids which is a nice change of pace.

Enchanted is a sickeningly sweet Disney movie that functions as both a love letter to, and a parody of, animated Disney classics that you saw and loved as a child. It's smart enough to keep adults engaged, and kids will love to look for all the references to other Disney properties. Its cast goes all-in and it's because of this that the premise works at all. It's rare to see Disney turn out this kind of self-reflective project, and if for no other reason than that, Enchanted is worth seeing.

The LAST ACTION HERO for Disney films - the novelty of the concept (and the wonderful lead performance from Adams) help you forget this is just a standard issue rom-com in new clothes, but it is a lot of fun, if not quite as cutting or subversive as you might like it to be. Cluttered by too many characters (while Sarandon's evil witch is an amusing creation, she's really surplus baggage here) but still a good-natured and high spirited piece of entertainment.

It's a Disney picture ment to engage children? OK. But the film is able to envolve anyone who has ever heard a fairytale. Amy Adams acting as the clueless princess waiting for the prince charming is amazing - and even sarcastic at times... Oh, and there are the songs ("oh, please, don't sing" begs the guy - I surrended to the film right there...), but even them are acceptable: give the girl a break - not only does she have to find her real love, but also to clean the house and get a job...

The best way to describe Enchanted is that it's a parody of Disney princess movies, but at the same time is a Disney princess movie complete with music. It's just a feel good kind of movie with fun characters and many funny moments. The ending, how the villain is defeated, is a bit weak, but the movie stands up well even so, because it wasn't about the villain, but about wrestling with what love is. It won't be for those who dislike happily ever after endings, but I liked it very much.

It has a level of schmaltz comparable to a Disney Channel television movie, but 'Enchanted' is nonetheless a dazzling homage/lampoon/deconstruction of Disney's fairy tale filmography, with enough Easter eggs to sate some of the studio's most dedicated fans.
