It had rave reviews and everybody said what a perfect film it was for Christmas so I had to go and see it. So last weekend me, my Mom and sister went to see it and I have to say it was probably one of the best films I have seen in a while as it was so enjoyable, cheesy and put a permanent smile on my face throughout.

I love Disney fairytales, and kids films in general, despite being probably a bit too old for them at 24! When I read the plot for Enchanted I thought it sounded like a good idea and seemed to have good reviews, so I bought it on DVD. ~The Story~ The story starts as an animation, and we meet Giselle (Amy Adams), who lives in the make believe world of Andalasia.

Her wishes come true when she meets and falls in love with Prince Eric (James Marsden) who is out riding in the forest. They fall in love and plan to marry the next day - as you ...  Read the complete review
