 Excellent movie Jul 06, 2008
I am really glad I saw this movie, it has all the components of a great fairy tale adventure movie. The characters are from another world but end up in New York City where they are constantly suprised by the difference between our world and the fantasy world they come from, making for great comedy. Susan Sarandon plays the evil witch, and though her performance is excellent, it's strange because in real life Susan Sarandon is known as a selfless person who stands up for people who can't stand up for themselves, she has dedicated herself to so many causes, that seeing her as the villian is difficult to do, though her acting in the movie is spectacularly entertaining. The movie is also a musical and the princess character frequently breaks into song- and these are wonderful moments in the film. Another strong point of the film is that, unlike many fairy tale films, this one does actually have unexpected plot twists in it. It's not a formulaic movie like some might expect from fairy tales. Most important of all, the movie has a happy ending. So of course, great acting, great singing, great story, all of these are reasons to see the movie.
Didn't expect to love it Jul 04, 2008
4.5 stars. When the trailer of this movie came out, I thought Disney had finally fell off their mouse ears; but then there was a buzz about the movie and I just couldn't bring myself to believe it. Still, since I am a fan of most of their movies, I went ahead and watched it. I couldn't stop smiling and being completely charmed by the movie. There are some choppy editing parts, but as a whole, if there is the slightest romantic in you, you'll love this movie. I especially liked that the hero is the one that needed rescuing by the end. I'm glad I gave the movie a chance.
An absolute Joy ! Jun 30, 2008
We rented this movie a few months ago and I found it an absolute joy to watch. So funny and not boring, we watched it several times. Now I'm looking to buy it as a Christmas present (yes, its almost July, but I'm thinking about Christmas shopping !).
To the few who didn't like it : Don't overreact worrying that our little princess' will be all messed up looking for a man to save her (or whatever else you dont like) ~ its just a movie folks ! (You probably wouldn't like Ella Enchanted either...) Dont let yourself grow so old inside you can't enjoy a simple movie. Keep an open mind and stay young !
As for this 40 yr. old~ I can't wait to watch it again !
Loved it - Enchanting, Indeed Jun 29, 2008
I didn't know anything about this before I saw it. so, was really surprised and indeed enchanted.
My man, Norman, and I just watched it. We are not kids, we are old folk, and we found it truly sweet, funny, creative, and just lovely!
Enchanted is a nice, safe, fun family movie for one and all. So nice to have a night with no sex, violence, swearing, or cringing. No covering the little one's eyes, no having to explain anything immoral or creepy. Just delightful!
4 paws up, granny Sally.

Enchanted Jun 21, 2008
Delightful! Good clean fun. Everyone was perfect in their parts from the wonderfully naive heroine to the evil queen. It just leaves you feeling and uplifted. Highly recommend it for leaving all your problems behind and just going with the flow.
