Movie Review: "Enchanted"

This newest Disney release features a fairy tale princess, Giselle, who is betrothed to handsome Prince Edward. Giselle is banished to current real world Manhattan by Edward’s evil step mother Narissa (played by Susan Sarandon). Innocent, idealistic Giselle is befriended by Robert Phillips, a handsome, but cynical divorced divorce attorney. Giselle searches throughout Manhattan in search of true love. The story incorporates elements of Cinderella, Mary Popkins, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & The Beast, The Littlest Mermaid and King Kong. The excellent choreography, musical score and story line will probably lead to a run on Broadway. Patrick Dempsey and Timothy Spall gave exemplary performances as Robert Phillips and Nathaniel, Queen Narissa’s assassin.
