Enhanted

Gosh darn goody golly indeed. Since the classic Disney prince-prince storyline is probably the most overused and clinched plot there is known to men, Disney really had their work cut out for them to come up with something new and different to the prince/princess franchise. And by God they've done it!
Enchanted was delightful. It pokes fun the other Disney works, shows more of the gray areas in happily-ever-after but still holds that distinct Disney-ness. You know, the one that makes you feel you believe in love and the goodness in men and that good will triumphs over evil. The same feeling you get when you watched their princesses movies when you were 6 and how you feel when you visit Disneyland.
Amy Adams was an innocent Disney princess personified, complete with graceful, over expressive hand gestures. James Marsden was adorable as the highly self absorbed and slightly clueless prince charming. Love the scene when he was eating hot dog on their date wearing that absurd SOL green crown. And I couldn't get enough of the Wicked Step mother and the bumbling man servant and Pip, oh lord, Pip was hilarious. Methinks the casting could've found a better Nancy. McDreamy was okay. He didn't have much to do except to look cool and bemused and dashing. He has the hair for it.
This movie is hilarious. Really, really hilarious. The part where she called all the rodents in NYC too help with the cleaning up; favorite. scene. ever. And the running gag with making her own dresses. And the song in the park. How...Disney. I was enchantedly entertained (a cornier play on words I've never heard, this is what Disney movies do to you).
I love it (if you cant already tell). For a moment right after I really felt that true love exists and there's goodness in everyone and the world is not such an ugly, twisted, dirty place and Disney is not another corporate capitalist bent on raping the world economy through celluloid and plater castles and disillusioning young minds to the saccharine plasticity that is essentially merchandised and retail happiness. Ahem.
So well done. Another classic, I say. Well done.
