Enchanted, I'm Sure
22/11/07 00:23Went to see this tonight en famille. From the trailers it could be heaven or hell, but the girls were very enthused and so, off we went.
It's a hoot. Not as deep as a thimble, but in the first five minutes Disney parodies most of its greatest hits; the talking animals helping with the housekeeping, the singing, the instant "my prince will come" romanticism. Then it turns it all on its head. Amy Adams is wonderfully wide eyed and un-ironic as the plucky Disney heroine, and Susan Sarandon is a swell combination of Maleficent and the Evil Queen from Snow White. And there are at least two hysterical songs--one involves cleaning up a New York apartment, the other is a big number in Central Park.
It's not so deep as a thimble, but it's fun.
