Enchanted is a fun family film, no doubt. Not brilliant, but fun and cute.
 If I were to say one thing to anyone who has yet to screen it, I would suggest that it is not necessarily a movie for boys. Some boys will surely fall in love with it, especially those who have been raised on Disney classics. But any boy who is not into this sort of thing is going to be utterly bored, and ready to snooze as all the ballgowns and cutesy animals and musical numbers go by.

I enjoyed the film, mostly because it's such a spoof of Disney fairy tales. But I cannot understand why they waited so very long to bring the evil queen into the real world; when Susan Sarandon finally shows up as a live action character, the film is nearly over. Oh, well.
I was very impressed by Rick Baker's makeup on Susan Sarandon as the hag/crone. Remarkable. It does not even look like her, but it is her. I haven't been so taken aback by fantasy makeup since Sigourney Weaver played Snow White's wicked stepmother in Snow White: A Tale of Terror (a very dark version of the story). Another fantastic hag makeup job in that film too.

All the in-jokes here are cute, and the songs aren't bad at all.  You know which man the maiden is going to end up with very quickly.
I only had a few minor issues watching this, such as why the writers felt that cockroaches and a swarm of flies were needed to help clean up the apartment. Not something I would've considered.

Bottom line here-- if you're a fan of classic Disney animation, this is a fun evening's entertainment. And it looks like Disney will continue its fairy tale tradition because their future animation projects involve princesses (The Princess and the Frog, and Rapunzel).
