If you haven’t already been to see this film, run to your nearest cinema now! Not just one for children as this movie can be enjoyed on so many levels, you‘ll find yourself sitting amongst teens, students and the older ones alike. As do all good fairytales, Enchanted is a love story, whose main character Giselle, after falling from the cartoon world of Andalasia, has to survive in the harsh realities of Manhattan, helpfully acquiring true love on the way.Giselle is a very likeable yet naïve Princess, stuck in her cartoon ways, bursting into song on the streets to various responses from the public passing by. After meeting and falling in love with Prince Edward of Andalasia, Edward’s evil stepmother Queen Narissa attempts to ruin their love forever amidst the threat Giselle make to her throne, and pushes her down a mysterious well. The well leads to reality, and after fixing her hair after her fall, Giselle must face the prospect of live in the real world. Summoning up all her courage, Giselle attempts to find a way back to her world, meeting Robert and his daughter Morgan en route. Together they then try to escape the clutches of the evil Narissa as with her dopey assistant Nathaniel they set out to finish off Giselle once and for all.As stories go, this one is very predictable but has such a likable quality you will laugh out loud several times making it all worthwhile. The writers have cleverly made a film that appeals to all ages, and the tongue-in-cheek effect of travelling between the cartoon world and the real world bring back all the memories of our much loved Disney films from years ago. This film is a must see! Boy or Girl, this film can’t fail to entertain, for the full 1 hour and 50 minutes!
