My plans to see Enchanted motivated me to make it through the last few days of school...and I was not disappointed!
Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey were already on my list of favorite actors ( "Can't Buy Me Love"--a classic starring P.D., and "Junebug"--showcases Amy's skills). Amy, as Giselle, is adorably innocent while Patrick, as Robert, is believably chivalrous. James Marsden spends the entire movie in Prince garments, supplying several LOL moments. He is the embodiment of 'melodramatic'. Talking animals, poison apples, a magic mirror and one glass slipper are weaved into the tale, lending a bit of nostalgia for Disney veterans.
The score is fresh and catchy--we went straight to the Disney store and picked up the CD! Ms. Adams has a gorgeous voice, not unlike that of Jodi Benson/Ariel (who, btw, appears as Robert's secretary). If seeing a movie is part of your Thanksgiving weekend plans, be sure to take a few children with you to "Enchanted". The looks on my little ones' faces were scrumptious!

Glad to hear you liked it. I've been thinking about checking it out too. It's been nearly forever since the hubs and I went to the theater.

Could I take my girl? I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate. She's 4 now, going on 13....

I loved that movie! I didn't think I was going to enjoy it so much.
I should get me the CD.

I went and saw it here in Mx with my daughter, dubbed in Spanish no less, so I didn't her her voice. But it was enchanting nonetheless!
