Don't sing. It's OK, you know. Let's just walk - can we walk? Robert PhilipI decided to take a little break from the action and go outside the realm of Oscar winners, although Enchanted was nominated for three (best song) and Amy Adams was nominated for a Best Actress Golden Globe. Either way, I decided it was time for something a bit lighter in nature.
Overall, cute movie! Yes, it was cheesy, and yes, it was a musical with singing and dancing. But regardless of that, it was still fun to watch. Amy Adams made a great Disney princess - every detail from the airy voice and flowing hand movements. Patrick Dempsey was an even more charming bachelor here than on Gray's Anatomy. However, most amusing was James Marsden as Prince Edward. I especially like how Disney spoofed itself - in all the movies they have ever produced, the prince is rarely seen as coincided, yet here is one that finally is, and he is the most amusing of them all.
Like any Disney film, throughout the duration of the movie there are tons of references to previous movies. Everything from the bus driver's Mickey Mouse ears to the previous princess cameos, it was fun going through and picking out everything Disney. (For the record, "Ariel" is Robert's assistant Sam, "Belle" is the woman on the soap opera Prince Edward is watching and "Pocahontas" is the woman in Robert's apartment building with the five kids.) Highly recommended for anybody who enjoys a classic princess film, and more importantly a new twist on one.
4 stars out of 5
