Enchanted... the real world meets the fairy-tale world!

"Enchanted" is a breath of fresh air. The movie is cheesy, with lots of music. If you are one of those people who hate cheesy movies, it is definitely not for you! I personally loved the movie. It is not real... totally fake! But well, who cares... it was fun!


Amy Adams as Giselle has done justice to her role... she is pretty and innocent, and her transformation from a fairy tale imaginary being to the real world person is well portrayed. Patrick Dempsey as Robert Philip, a father whose wife has run away, who has lost his belief in fairy tales, is credible and handsome... well, the Grey's Anatomy star just gets better with age, huh? ;)


James Marsden has nothing much to do in the movie other than being cute, cheesy and funny... he manages to deliver that with perfection! This photo just proves it... ;)

The other actors are great too... Idina Menzel as Nancy, the girl whom Patrick wants to marry till he finds Amy; Susan Sarandon as the evil queen; Timothy Spall as Nathaniel, the only character with shades of gray... all the actors and the movie as a whole is lovable!

The movie had a great song which I found totally adorable... "That's How You Know..." is totally overboard, but delightful nevertheless! I was almost ready to start singing and dancing with Giselle! lol... totally out of character for me, but well... I've started appreciating art more these days! I really want to attend a live musical or a concert one of these days ;)

Anyways, the movie also had some food for thought... would you be Giselle, who prefers coming to the real world to a fairy-tale existence... or would you choose to be Nancy, who prefers going to the fairy-tale world to the real one? Maybe, it is true that grass is always greener on the other side? ;) But, I guess it does not matter much as long as you are with the person you love and he loves you too... cheesy? of course! hehe... practically speaking though, I would say we need to have at least some bit of a fairy-tale in our monotonous life... it adds on a touch of magic, change, optimism? And it just makes it better! :)
