Critic Reviews
Enchanted is festooned with extravagant set pieces -- there's a great number in praise of romantic gestures, and a ballroom scene to make even grown-up girls swoon.
Read the full reviewEven if its most ironic humor will sail over the heads of very little ones, Enchanted is that rare comedy that will appeal to the whole family.
Read the full reviewThe film works its magic largely by sending up, at times with a wink, at times with a hard nudge, some of the very stereotypes that have long been this company?s profitable stock in trade.
Read the full reviewA full-blown musical that commutes between Disney's patented cartoon universe and the "real" world with cleverness and grace, this splashy production reminds one of nothing in the Disney canon so much as "Mary Poppins," not least due to the "star is born" aura that surrounds Amy Adams here, just as it did Julie Andrews 43 years ago.
Read the full reviewMore important, it has a Disney willingness to allow fantasy into life, so New York seems to acquire a new playbook.
Read the full reviewWhile this is certainly not the first motion picture to blend drawn creations with real life actors, no movie to date has approached it quite this way.
Read the full reviewNot since Julie Andrews rode an umbrella to glory in Mary Poppins has Disney given us such a real-life doll (Amy Adams).
Read the full reviewAdams does offer quite a turn: Portraying a version of Disney's Snow White, she owns the character, down to every warble and twirl.
Read the full reviewThe sight of Adams gliding and beaming and chirping in this movie - a self-mocking cartoon that transforms into an inspired live-action musical farce - is just about the happiest time I've had watching an actor do anything all year.
Read the full reviewAs the innocent and indomitably chirpy Giselle, Adams gives the great female comic performance of the year so far.
Read the full reviewA sometimes clever, other times grating mix of live action and animation that plays tricks with levels of movie reality as the world of fairy-tale animation invades contemporary New York.
Read the full reviewAdams' winning performance and the light touch director Kevin Lima (a veteran of animation and live action) brings to scenes not tasked with advancing the plot all suggest that, silly as they may look once you take it apart, irony-free, romantic fantasy--animated and otherwise--still has a place on the big screen.

This si the Best Movie in the World!!!!
"A must see. This is an echanting movie that brings joy to the entire family. Once again, Disney has made a movie that is pure magic."
Excellent
"Enchanted, is excellent and very funny. It is romantic also, but in a sweet, not so x-rated way! I absolutley love the song So Close! The music is very catchy and makes this movie even greater. This movie is for all ages and is totally wonderful! Enchant Yourself!"
ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES
"I absolutely love this movie. I went with my husband the first time and he was planning to sleep through it. Needless to say he didn't. He loved it too, and was telling everybody we saw what a great movie it is. I went again and took some of my grown kids and grandkids. I have recommended it to many people and they have all loved it. It will be a keeper on video, but everyone should see it on big screen, hopefully with a good audience. We laughed and laughed."
Suprisingly excellent...
"I only went to see this movie because it was the only thing to do, day after CHRISTmas. To say that this movie is not as cute as a button is to say that Mickey is not a mouse. I was truely shocked at how I could not explain away how nice this moive really is. Take it from a guy that plays HALO 3, Call of Duty 4 and any other FPS game in order to KILL KILL KILL, this movie will break down the sturdiest of manly defenses. Word to wives, TAKE YOUR HUSBAND...or girls take your boyfriend. The magic of this movie is it really brings home the most important parts of relationships and family bonding. This moive can work like medicine in this REALLY crazy world we now live in. Don't miss out on a truely great feel good family movie that will test well over time."
Cute, Funny, Enchanting
"I read some of the other reviews that other people have wrote and I don't know what the people were thinking that wrote they didn't like it! I loved it! It is very rare to see a disney movie that is not animated and like it these days. It was unique while still keeping to the old fairytale stories."
See it
"Disney movies rarely spoof themselves with this kind of passion. It's the movie all the writers of the classic Disney fantasies wish they could have made. No Disney stereotype is spared but the humor is kind hearted and really funny, especialy if you grew up on Disney Classics. Good job!"
ENCHANTED IS ENCHANTING!
"One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It truly is enchanting and imaginative! Bring us more of this beauty...it puts a smile on our faces!!! The acting was excellent, too. My daughter who is 29 and my grandkids who are 9 and 12 loved it also. And we are big movie watchers....5 stars for this picture, A !!"
TERRIBLE-THEY LIED
"This movie sucked-the funniest parts are, again, in the commercials. I waited for it to get funny, interesting, good-didn't happen. I was greatly disappointed and almost walked out-but kept wanting something to happen. THIS MOVIE SUCKED-ZERO STARS."
great movie!
"i have to say this movie was cute and my favorite part was the ballroom dance. great costumes and it's good tolaugh and believe in fantasy once in a while"
KO movie
"I guess it was ok.I think it is good if you like fantasy stories."
