A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess from the past who is thrust into present-day by an evil queen. Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer. Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
I was quite embarrassed to see myself in a crowd of mothers and children while watching the film. Still, I wouldn't mind since I knew this was going to be a good movie. Was I right? Yes but it did fell below my expectations. The whole concept felt like another film released this year. It was called "Happily N'ever After" and that had a much better sense of humor because there were some jokes the adults could enjoy.
The jokes in this film were pretty basic and childish and maybe a few that were laugh-out-loud. But this film in't about the comedy, right? Well, for the most part, this is a very cute, entertaining, although sometimes dragging a bit, and for the whole family to enjoy.
Yes, the movie is predictable but the main reason why this movie worked, and I know people would agree, is because of Amy Adams! If another actress would take her spot, it wouldn't have been much successful as it is right now. She is just magical in her role, which was really good. James Marsden, Susan Sarandon, and Patrick Dempsey all played their role really well too.
The songs in here are a bit cheesy and overly cute, although it wasn't anything special. The special effects in the end were, I thought, was just unnecessary. Overall, it's good family entertainment for November and December but it's not a classic. It's just a worthwhile trip that people may forget until next year.
