Just watched this again. I really enjoy it!

Got the song stuck in my head though...

Yeah. Enchanted was great.

Yeah, this is one of those "wow, Disney can still do something right without Pixar's help now and then" movies. I very much enjoyed it.

No need to hand in the man card. The movie was amusing, and Amy Adams is smoking hot. I was actually just telling a coworker that one of the wierd things about going to Disney World is ignoring that all of the park princesses are hot.

I really loved that scene, I want to see my musicals where people notice how the situation is.

Saying "Amy Adams" is hot and that being the only reason you watched it is plausible.

But those guys (straight) saying it was a "fantastic film" need to switch teams, or at least admit they need to.

Amy Adams is hot. I watched it because I live with a seven year old girl. And it wasn't a bad movie. It didn't change my life or anything, but it wasn't bad. It made me laugh a couple of times.

Man, you're harsher than Charissinger when it comes to people liking movies.

My wife loves all kinds of Fairy Tales (Disney and alternatives) so I watch with her. There are some films I don't like but this film is not bad.

well.. she did say straight guys (like me) may need to switch team if I like the film. I'm comfortable with my sexuality to like this film

Also, I'm not hating, if you're into movies like Enchanted and Freaky Friday, just make it a trifecta and go buy your copies of Twilight.

Oh no. Trust me, I hate Twilight and all of its travesties along with the rest of them.

When it comes to films, I am a HUGE geek when it comes to the subject. However, I am not the type of movie lover who is focused into solely films for their artistic genius (i.e. Citizen Kane) or dramas that examine real life (i.e. The Bicycle Thieves). Don't get me wrong, I do believe in having a good story for a film. I've also watched plain dramas and I do like them. I'm just more of a movie lover who enjoys a good piece of entertainment. In fact, based on my DVD collection, I'd say that I'm a bit of a genre guy.

For example, let us take Steve Spielberg. I have watched his films like Schindler's List and Munich and I do consider them great films. However, in my movie collection, you're more apt to find works of his like Indiana Jones, E.T. and Jurassic Park. This is just me personally, but those films have more rewatchability for me.

And yet you said Freaky Friday was good.

It completely invalidates that entire post you just made.

How? As I said, I enjoy a nice piece of entertainment. I thought it was a nice bit of entertainment. Let me note, however, that I've only seen it once and that was in theaters. My opinion might change if I were to revisit it.

Still, that post sort of covers my general philosophy on film. Your mileage may vary, of course, but there's nothing wrong with a difference in opinion.

EDIT: Also, I said Freaky Friday was pretty good, not good. To me, pretty good means a movie that has some good stuff, but it's ultimately one you don't need to see.

Nice piece of entertainment if you're a "Disney Brat" sure. I'm sure you though Hannah Montana was just fine too.

A GOOD Disney film. There's a lot of shit in the Disney vault.

Speaking of the vault, I hate it. Sometimes I wanna buy a friggin' Disney movie. Why the hell can I only get Fantasia off Ebay right now? Luckily Pixar movies aren't in that position.

Are you saying there aren't any good live action Disney films? I disagree. "The Parent Trap" (original, not the remake), "The Absent-Minded Professor", "Mary Poppins", "That Darn Cat!" (original), "The Black Hole", "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "The Rocketeer", "Newsies", "The Muppet Christmas Carol", "The Princess Diaries", "The Rookie", "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and more prove you wrong. Not to mention that "Midnight Madness" is a bad film that's fun to watch.

I liked Enchanted. It was a fun semi-parody of Disney's animated fairy tales.

This is no way changes the fact that you thought Enchanted and Freaky Friday were "nice entertainment".

Disney has a big market in low budget, dvd direct releases. They practically revolutionized the idea and are hereby responsible for most of the crap that hits shelves. There is no doubt of that.

But every year or so they get at least one good live action film out.

Enchanted was one of them.

I liked this film until the last 20 min or so.

It killed me to see her throw away everything that made her special and unique and admirable and resort to saving the day with daddy's emergency Gold AmEx. And then she opens an expensive-looking 5th Avenue fashion store, again probably with his money.

Admittedly, it probably wouldn't have annoyed me quite so much if the previous 3/4 of the film hadn't been such a clever subversion and affirmation of the Disney princess routine.

I thought having the little girl play the part of the fairy godmother was charming.

The princess designs clothing shop was an interesting choice, but it didn't seem terribly out of place - a business loan, her talents (plus free labor), and her obvious charm and appeal to little girls - such a business should be very successful in NY.

But the business could have been cut from the film completely and it would make no difference for me.[/QUOTE]

odd... I actually liked that bit...

...My interpretation was that the film "aesop" was sort of "accepting reality" but without losing your kindness and hope, Giselle becomes less pure as the film goes by, but this ends with her growing as a person, while the guy becomes less cinical and growns as well.

Then I think it's safe to say that the "reality" I saw being accepted was very different from what you took away.

Again, I can see why you think differently, just sayin' why I do.
