Enchanted

Finally watch Enchanted during the weekend after watching the first trailer and hearing reviews from friends who say they don't mind watching it a second time. The first time I saw the trailer, it really reminded me of good ol' Disney cartoons that I grew up watching (with the songs, the magic...etc). It started off the typical Disney fashion way, narration (voiced by Julie Andrews) followed by pop-ups of the book. And then, you see the Disney "princess" in her cottage, singing her heart out, looking for true love. Of course, the scene won't be complete with her furry forest friends. Really nostalgic moment (reminded me of Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella).

Amy Adams really comes alive as the doe-eyed, optimistically in-love Giselle. She truly inhabits the role that continues to captivate you even after the credit ends. Enchanted won't be as enchanting if not for her brilliant acting. James Marsden did a commendable job as the vain, self-absorbed Prince Edward whereas Patrick Demspey does what he does best every Thursday Night; McDreamy.

One of the better movies I've seen this year. A feel good family movie that leaves you in a happy, singing mood once you leave the theatre. Great movie, great soundtrack, suited for everyone to watch. Yup, it is the good ol' Disney Movie. One that I won't mind watching again.
