Disney's new film Enchanted is a charmer. Although parts of the plot may feel forced, it's anchored by a sparkling Amy Adams. The former Muskie really commits herself fully to the role of a fairy tale princess who finds herself in our world and the unfriendly streets of the Bowery in NYC. Adams' ability to show various shades of joy, fear and confusion proves that her prior Academy Award nomination was no fluke. I look forward to seeing more from her in the future. As for the rest of the cast, Patrick Dempsey is stoic and a bit dull, while James Marsden is cavalier and clueless.This movie will appeal to older kids, and to adults eager to escape into a world of a smart fairy tale.

I really liked Amy Adams in "Junebug." I'll probably see this one soon - Lord knows I love a good fairy tale!
It was fun...there were certainly parts I like much more than others.
