Review:
You might want to remember the name Amy Adams. It’s star-is-born
time for the Colorado Mormon, who won a supporting-actress Oscar
nomination for 2005′s Junebug, which few saw (dumb move).
Enchanted has the makings of a supersize sugarcoated hit,
and Adams is just the spicy princess you want to take home and
PG-love. Not since Julie Andrews rode an umbrella to glory in
Mary Poppins has Disney given us such a real-life doll.
Actually, Adams’ Giselle starts off as a cartoon, a princess who
finds her prince (James Marsden), only to have his bitch-queen
mother (Susan Sarandon) banish her to hell. That would be Times
Square, where the characters take on flesh and blood. OK, it’s
corny. Script contrivance, thy name is having Giselle take refuge
in the Manhattan apartment of a McDreamy divorce…
