All the fairy-taley wrap-up is decidedly less wonderful than young Morgan's insight and gumption. Surrounded by calculated Disnifications, she's both imperfect and convincing.

It's Adams who casts the spell.
01/14/08
Amy Adams provides the pixie dust that turns New York into a land of enchantment.
01/02/08
Enchanted bubbles over with good cheer, due in large part to Adams for the wide-eyed optimism and innocence she brings to her irony-free performance.
12/16/07
The songs, by "Pocahontas" Oscar-winners Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, are cleverly written, with each one evoking a Disney classic from another period.
12/15/07
This family film is fun, but essentially paint-by-numbers.
12/14/07
The animated sequences are disappointingly flat, the real-life parts underwritten, but Amy Adams works hard and keeps a straight face in the lead, and the time passes amiably enough.
12/14/07
It quickly becomes obvious that instead of finding a fresh angle of approach, the filmmakers have simply given us yet another fish-out-of-water fantasy a la "Splash."
12/14/07
A triumphant return to form.
12/14/07
The comic possibilities, once floated, eventually capsize.
12/14/07
Overhyped family movie covered in a cellophane shrink-wrap of corporate Disney plastic-ness.
12/14/07
Top CriticBeginning like the classic animated stories, with a beautiful princess being rescued by a handsome prince, it raises a laugh immediately with a brilliant send-up of the saccharin duets the young lovers usually sing.
12/14/07
Top CriticSusan Sarandon is terrific as the Evil Queen; Timothy Spall pops up like a well-used wart; and James Marsden is the terrifically thick and handsome Prince.
12/14/07
Top CriticKicking off as a traditional 2-D animation before transforming into live animation when we hit the Big Apple, the film's title doesn't quite describe the film's likely effect on adults, but girls aged six-12 are sure to love it.
12/14/07
It's not quite as enchanted or magical as it could have been, but this family romp still manages to be good fun, and is lifted by fantastic turns from Amy Adams and James Marsden.
12/14/07
Enchanting, fantastic fun for all the family.
12/14/07
Subversive enough for older brother, sweet enough for kid sis, this cine-panto’s a safe if not spectacular choice for a Chrimbo family outing. The cartoon chipmunk almost steals it, but Adams’ dippy dazzle is the movie’s heart, soul and lungs.
12/13/07
It’s only when the story hits the streets of NYC and Adams starts hamming it up (much like Julie Hagerty did in ‘Airplane’) that we start seeing the fruits of a grand Mickey-take.
