Enchanted

Disney has done it again. For that matter, so has Amy Adams. Amy first burst onto my radar as the funny pregnant woman in Junebug who completely stole that movie. Now, she is delightful, beautiful and wonderful singing lead actress in Enchanted. Enchanted starts off being narrated by Julie Andrews who is an amazing legend so how can it go wrong from there. It can't. Deciding to poke fun at itself, Disney has hit another homerun with beautiful scenes, animation and especially music. Patrick Dempsey is his usual cute self and Susan Sarandon lives up to her own amazing acting ability in this toe-tapping, smile-placing movie. Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew aka: wormtail from Harry Potter movie fame) is a little typecast as the sniveling sidekick but enjoyable nonetheless. James Marsden is good too. With three songs nominated for an Oscar (Happy Working Song, So Close and That's How you know), this is a thumb-snapping treat to enjoy for the whole family. P.S. Don't let the cockroaches, rats and such cleaning the apartment gross you out! Tee Hee, Julie! :-)
