Enchanted

Release date: 20 October 2007 (London Film Festival)

If you're looking for a wonderful twist on a classic fairytale, look no further than Enchanted. Starring Amy Adams (as Princess Giselle), Patrick Dempsey (as Robert Philip, her modern-day Prince), James Marsden (as Prince Edward, her fairytale Prince) and the great Susan Sarandon (as the oh-so-evil Queen Narissa), Enchanted challenges the line between modern-day love and fairytale love. When Queen Narissa whisks Giselle from the saturated, colourful world of fairy tales to modern-day New York City, she begins to rethink all her fairytale notions of love. Soon after arriving, she meets Robert Philip, a lawyer, who befriends her unaware she is a real fairytale Princess. The comedy that results is great and is enhanced when both Prince Edward, nasty Queen Narissa and her sidekick Nathaniel all appear in NYC. Charming in its innocence and revealing in its morale, Enchanted is a watch.

My rating 8 out of 10.
