Enchanted movie review
Enchanted
2007
Starring: Amy Adams, Julie Andrews, James Marsden, Patrick Depsey, and Susan Sarandon
Rating: 4
Enchanted is a classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess who is sent to our world by an evil queen. Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer. Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world? You'll have to watch to find out.
Enchanted is definitely not the best movie I've ever seen. The acting is good, but it's not great. The story is good, but it too is not great. Why did I like it so much? Because I loved all the Disney movies growing up, and this is a great compliment to them.
Of course, we all know shortly into Enchanted how it's going to end, but that doesn't stop us from wanting to see it again. Maybe this time with a young girl in tow. I would definitely recommend that you see this with your little girls if you have them. If you don't have any, but were once a little girl dreaming of being a princess someday, then you'll probably like this movie too.

After an incident with a poisoned apple and being saved by true love's kiss, Giselle kills the queen who has turned into a dragon in order to save Robert from certain doom. Edward returns to the animated world with Nancy (Robert's girlfriend) and Giselle stays in New York with Robert and they all live happily ever after. courtesy imdb
