Enchanted: DVD, Blu-ray Review (2008)

“Enchanted” DVD, Blu-ray

Disney’s hit, fish-out-of-water comedy succeeds as well as it does because it understands the affection surrounding the studio’s earliest animated projects, and because it knows there always is room for some good-natured hair pulling, which is what gives this enjoyable movie such a surprising edge.

Amy Adams is Princess Giselle, who is set to marry Prince Edward (James Marsden) and naturally live happily ever after when Susan Sarandon’s Queen Narissa complicates everything by sending Giselle out of their animated world and into the real world.

There, she meets Patrick Dempsey’s Robert, where romantic complications ensue, particularly when Edward comes to fight for her hand.

Marked by Adams irrepressible charm, several complex musical numbers and a clever script, this movie lives up to its name.

Rated PG. Grade: A-
