Review: Enchanted [Blu-ray]
Review: Enchanted [Blu-ray] |
| Posted: ![Enchanted [Blu-ray]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61x4B5yOt5L._SL160_SS160_.jpg) By Amy Adams This film is a delight from beginning to end. It really is a film the whole family can enjoy. My 11 year-old was "enchanted" by it, my 16 year old son was laughing hysterically, and my wife and I were never bored once. This film falls into the "fractured fairly tale" genre much like The Princess Bride which is a difficult genre to produce successfully. To add to the difficulty level this film also tackles the switch over from cartoon world to the real one. "Enchanted" succeeds here as well. The cartoon world is a tribute in style to the old fashioned cartoons we all grew up with, but the comedy and approach of the cartoon component works and is in funny balance to the real world scenes. Amazon and other reviewers have done a good job summarizing this film and with the traditional elements of most Disney classic cartoons, there isn't much I can add here, so here is my hits and misses approach: The Misses: (1) The ending goes a little over the top with effects and seems a bit out of place, although it's still fun and interesting. (2) The songs are good, even above average in spots, but not nearly as good as prior Disney efforts. The Hits: (1) It's a great marriage of cartoon and real world storylines. (2) The film nails the fractured fairy tale genre right on the head. (3) The story is engaging no matter what your age is. My whole family truly loved this film. (4) For the genre this film has terrific acted. Amy Adams is someone anyone one of us would want to marry (or adopt).... |
