Enchanted



Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in a forest dreaming of her one true love. Prince Edward (James Marsden) hears her singing and they fall in love and plan to wed the following morning. His step-mother the queen wants the threat to her crown removed so she pushes Giselle down a well where she enters the "real" world of New York. There, she meets a divorce attorney (Patrick Dempsey) who is about to become engaged and his 6 year old daughter. They fall in love while Giselle waits for Edward to rescue her. After an incident with a poisoned apple and being saved by true love's kiss, Giselle kills the queen who has turned into a dragon in order to save Robert from certain doom. Edward returns to the animated world with Nancy (Robert's girlfriend) and Giselle stays in New York with Robert and they all live happily ever after.

The music by Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken (in a return to brilliance) is terrific. The way that Giselle infects those around her with her innocent "Princess-esque" demeanor is really at the heart of what makes the movie so great. You cant help but feel all bubbly when the movie is over.
