Welcome to Reel People. It’s a place where, you guessed it, real people like yourselves spout off on new movie releases. It works best if you - yes, we mean you - jump into the forum link below and tell us what you think of the movie, too.

This week, we’re watching Enchanted.

What I Liked: There are many stories that the Walt Disney World company can tell very well, but none as well as the classic fairy tale.  In their latest film Enchanted, Disney crosses the worlds of the magical fairy tale with the real world of New York, with hilarious consequences, all while still keeping the ideas and the feelings that true love can conquer all.  Amy Adams is delightful as she portrays the doe eyed naive Giselle, transported to New York courtesy of Susan Sarandon as Queen Narissa, evil stepmother of Prince Edward.  Amy Adams has the Disney Princess thing down pat as she sings about every thing, even cleaning of course, and how to impress the woman you love. Susan Sarandon’s performance will surprise you and will remind you of Glenn Close’s surprise delivery of her role as Cruella Devile.  James Marsden, known mostly for his action roles in such films as X-men and Superman Returns, is fantastic showing his comedic talent as the brave but simple minded Prince.  Patri ck Dempsey who plays Robert, the New York man who cant help himself in aiding the lost princess is remarkable as the straight man.  He really comes across as lost in the weirdness that follows Giselle, and a nonbeliever in fairy tales and happy endings.  He really brings the human aspect on love and reminds us how we all tend to forget that we make our own fairy tales.  The story is actually really well written and will bring out many laughs, especially for the Disney fan.  Just try not to laugh as the differences of the cute forest animals and the animals in New York come to light for the Princess.  Disney fans, keep an eye out for several Disney references.

What I Disliked: With all the talk about romance its kind of a bummer to see the real world intrude on fantasy relationships.  Gone are the days of love at first site.  The new fairy tale shows how you have to work at relationships.  It would also be nice to see more explanation on why Robert is still dating his girlfriend after five years.  If that spark is missing, let us see it.  Or is he just not working hard enough at the relation ship.  If he isn’t, again, then why?  Is there no spark?

Would I Recommend?: Children will love this film.  Families will love being able to see this film together.  Disney fans will love this film.  And those who love fairy tales and funny but happy endings most definitly should see this film.  Disney will make you remember what it is like to believe in romance, and everyone can live happily ever after...with a little work.

Score: 7 out of 10

What I Liked: ENCHANTED lives up to its name! Almost everything about the movie is enchanting from its two locations (“happy ever after” Andalasia vs. “happy never after” New York City) to its multi-dimensional characters (campy cartoons vs. reality survivors). Pip, the endearing chipmunk, steals the show in both worlds. Amy Adams, as Giselle the intrepid, out of her element Princess, is a perfect foil for Patrick Dempsey’s Robert, the staid and logical NYC lawyer who attempts to help her find her way home.  Both have true loves, but their providential meeting alters their perceptions not only of love, but of friends, family, and life in general.

What I Disliked: The stereotyping of characters, and some continuity errors, were a little disconcerting.  Yet the metamorphosis of those characters into believable people and the engaging storyline eradicated all of these concerns.

Would I Recommend?: If you love fairy tales, and their inevitable happy endings, see this movie.  ENCHANTED is a movie in which almost everyone finds his or her true heart’s desire, which could be exasperating for cynics, anyone who has no interest in romantic love, and those who abhor show stopping musical numbers.

What I Liked: I liked the silliness of this film.  It was so cheesy that I couldn’t help but laugh at most of it.  I’ve often snickered at some Disney films and it was kind of nice to see Disney make fun of themselves as well.  This movie was fun and family friendly.  It’s a nice change from blood, guts, horror and foul language.

What I Disliked: I didn’t like how the movie seemed to go a bit overboard in the portrayal of the characters.  I also didn’t like how easy it was to figure out the ending, but I guess it’s to be expected for a film like this.

Would I Recommend?: I would definitely recommend Enchanted to families because there are jokes for kids and adults.  In that sense it’s like Shrek because it makes fun of fairy tales while making all ages laugh. It’s a good clean movie.
