Enchanted plot
"This fairytale princess is about to meet a real Prince Charming."
In the perfect animation world, a sorceress queen rules until her stepson finds a woman. When he accidentally meets a naive girl in the forest, he immediately asks her to marry him. However, due to her future mother-in-law, she ends up in present-day New York, where she obviously doesn't know what to do. But then she meets an attractive young father and her world changes dramatically. However, her Prince Charming has followed her, as has a servant of the evil queen, who throws her plans into chaos. Then she decides to put an end to the intended idyll between her stepson and the forest girl.

Enchanted, enchanted This magical place that we've found No one here but us and the sound Of the stars and the night owls Your breath and the rolling clouds Enchanted, I am, by you Ik zat in de bus terug naar Groningen en twijfelde of ik de middag nog een film mee zou pakken. 'Moordwijven' en het mij onbekende 'Enchanted' waren m'n enige opties. Komt er vanuit m'n iPod opeens *dit* liedje naar voren (Enchanted van Patrick Wolf). Nu ja, als *dat* geen teken is... Dus zat ik volkomen onvoorbereid tussen de giechelende tienermeisjes en vaders met kinderen naar het scherm te staren. Na tien minuten even de twijfel; ga ik dit echt afkijken? Nu ja, ik ben er nu toch... En dan, vanaf het moment dat Giselle de echte wereld instapt komt de klik. Heerlijk feelgooderige Disney romantiek met een werkelijk verrukkelijke Adams die van het scherm spat, de singalong in het park is bijvoorbeeld fingerlicking goed. Ook Dempsey is uitstekend in dit lekker naieve sprookje. Minpuntjes slechts voor de inderdaad wat lange intro en de onnodige slotscene met de draak, die werkelijk totaal niet paste in de sfeer vond ik. In alles een verrassende, leuke middag. 3,5*. Now love has come to me And set apart thee From all of the maddening crowds The orchard is leaning her bows To hear our laughter And we roll in the arder Enchanted, I am, by you
Enchanted, enchanted
This magical place that we've found
No one here but us and the sound
Of the stars and the night owls
Your breath and the rolling clouds
Enchanted, I am, by you
I was on the bus back to Groningen and doubted whether I would watch another movie in the afternoon. "Murder Wives" and the unknown to me "Enchanted" were my only options. Suddenly *this* song comes up from my iPod (Enchanted by Patrick Wolf). Well, if *that* isn't a sign...
So I sat completely unprepared among the giggling teenage girls and fathers with children, staring at the screen. After ten minutes the doubt; am I really going to watch this? Well, I'm here anyway...
And then, from the moment Giselle steps into the real world, the click comes. Wonderfully feel-good Disney romance with a truly delightful Adams splashing off the screen, the singalong in the park, for example, is finger licking good. Dempsey is also excellent in this naive fairy tale.
Only minus points for the indeed somewhat long intro and the unnecessary final scene with the dragon, which really didn't fit the atmosphere at all I thought. In all a surprising, fun afternoon. 3.5*.
Now love has come to me
And set separate tea
From all of the maddening crowds
The orchard is leaning her bows
To hear our laughter
And we roll in the arder
Enchanted, I am, by you

“And so, they all lived happily ever after.” De vrolijkheid straalt van deze film af. De liefde staat centraal en komt in al zijn gradaties aan bod. De ongeremde, grenzeloze, onbevooroordeelde en wat naïeve kant van de liefde botst op een leuke manier met de cynische kant. Amy Adams vertegenwoordigt de vrolijke kant van de liefde en doet dat subliem. Ze straalt van het scherm, haar verbaasdheid om zoveel cynisme als het op liefde aankomt, levert de leukste scènes op. Dempsey vertegenwoordigd de cynische kant en vormt een leuk duo met Adams. Het sprookjesgedeelte en de muziek had van mij weggelaten mogen worden, maar ik begrijp wel waarom hiervoor is gekozen. Het einde is ook wat vreemd (de draak) maar oké, het is een film met zoveel vrolijkheid vergeven.
“And so, they all lived happily ever after.”
The joy radiates from this film. Love is central and is discussed in all its gradations. The unrestrained, boundless, unbiased and somewhat naive side of love clashes with the cynical side in a fun way.
Amy Adams represents the happy side of love and does it sublimely. She radiates from the screen, her surprise at so much cynicism when it comes to love, makes for the best scenes. Dempsey represents the cynical side and makes a nice duo with Adams. The fairytale part and the music should have been left out, but I understand why this was chosen. The ending is also a bit strange (the dragon) but okay, it is a film with so much cheerfulness forgiven.

Leuk concept; sprookjesfiguren in de echte wereld. Het levert enkele erg leuke aspecten op. Adams en Marsden zijn perfect gecast als prinses en prins. Ik heb het gevoel dat de film met iets strakkere regie en montage, met vooral meer gevoel voor timing, de grappen beter over zouden komen. Het einde is absoluut over de top maar dat vergeef je makkelijk in deze film die sowieso een soort parodie op sprookjes is. Toch ben ik niet heel enthousiast; grote delen voelen te willekeurig en soms zelfs wat saai terwijl de film een vrij korte speelduur heeft. Leuk voor een keer maar zeker geen topper dit.
Nice concept; fairytale characters in the real world. It provides some very nice aspects. Adams and Marsden are perfectly cast as princess and prince. I have the feeling that the film would come across better with slightly tighter direction and editing, especially with more sense of timing. The ending is definitely over the top but you can easily forgive that in this film that is a kind of parody of fairy tales anyway. Yet I am not very enthusiastic; large parts feel too random and sometimes even a bit boring while the film has a fairly short running time. Nice for once, but certainly not a great one.
