Amazon.co.uk Review
If you're looking for signs that the modern-day Disney has lost neither its touch nor its savvy nature, then there's evidence in abundance in the smart modern-day fairy tale Enchanted. Bookended by the kind of old-style animation the studio is rightly famed for, the main, live action segment of the film finds Amy Adams' Giselle--an archetypal Disney princess in pretty much every sense--dropped slap bang into the middle of modern day New York. What follows is ingenious fun, as Giselle walks round very much as a fish out of water, followed quickly by James Marsden's prince who attempts to come to the rescue. Thing is, modern day New York and old style princesses don't really mix, and Enchanted studiously mines the comedy of the scenario, thanks to a smart and witty script. What also lifts Enchanted though are the delightful tips of the hat to classics of Disney old. And we're not just talking the show-stopping numbers: there are references to the likes of Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to be found here, and a star-making performance from Adams powering the whole film forward. One of the very best family movies of 2007, Enchanted does occasionally stumble through the odd twee moment (and it could really use a villain with more screen time than Susan Sarandon's wicked stepmother gets), but that can't hide the fact that it's terrific fun, lavishly made and, at its best, quite brilliant. A modern day family classic, and great to see Disney once again delivering the kind of entertainment it excels at. --Simon Brew

Not a bad movie, but NOT one for the boys. A real girlie film. A few funny scenes but you kind of think that 'it's been done before'!
 Fantastic fun family fairytale film! Now say it over and over... April 27, 2008

Very funny at times, and always full of fun. It's really just for kids and the young at heart (right up my street!). It can be a little bit of a fluffy romance film at times, which is more suited for girls, but personally I still greatly enjoyed it. A few people have said that the first few minutes are very familiar and unoriginal. But really, that's the point, it's meant to be a stereotypical traditional Disney turning into real life. It wouldn't have worked the same if the beginning was like something from Pixar. There wouldn't be the same contrast. So give it a chance, it's actually a very original and unique Disney film when you get past the start. And the acting was great, they have really captured the essence of Disney characters, which are utterly ridiculous in the real world. I have to say though, I was surprised at the absence of any real action. I'm not talking Die Hard obviously, but I expected there to be a few exciting moments of some kind. But it's completely a family comedy/romance, which is certainly not a bad thing, as it was thoroughly enjoyable all the way. Highly recommended!
 ONE TO WATCH AGAIN AND AGAIN....AND SING ALONG WITH! April 24, 2008

This is such a lot of fun, and Amy Adams should have won an oscar not only for her 'camped up' but absolutely necessary mannerisms, but also for her lovely (for an american) singing voice.
Simple summary, to keep her crown jelous mother-in-law queen sends to-be princess from world of disney animation (talking animals, happily ever after, etc.) to present day new york for the shock of her life (traffic, rain, rudeness, robbery, etc.), prince follows to find her, queens accomplise follows to kill her with poison apples, princess has a way with animals...even in new york....is befriended by divorcee with young daughter he is 'protecting' from fairy tales so as to prepare her for the real world, etc, etc.
Absolutely a must see movie if (a) you have children or (b) like musicals or (c) think Amy Adams is a babe!
Surprisingly Good April 19, 2008

I saw Enchanted on the plane home from Egypt and I was surprised how good it was. The story is about a princess called Giselle who lives in a place called Andelasia hoping that she will meet Prince Edward and marry him. The queen of Andelasia, who is Prince Edwards mum, does not want Prince Edward to marry Giselle as she will lose her throne so she pushes Giselle into a magic vortex and Giselle emerges in New York City. Prince Edward hears what happens to Giselle and along with a chipmunk called Pip jumps into the vortex to rescue her. From here the film shows Giselle's struggle to cope with life in New York and Prince Edwards schemes to get her back.
Enchanted is a good film that delivers a few good laughs and can be enjoyed by a lot of people.
Brilliant for all ages April 19, 2008

This really is Disney back doing what it does best. A very clever mix of cartoon (like the original Disney classics) and real time, mixed very well. The actors all work well for the film, and enough humour to satisfy the adult viewer. A MUST SEE film!
