Enchanted

Not enough can be said about Amy Adams and her sterling commitment to her character and this concept. She is pitch-perfect as she sings and waltzes her way through several big musical numbers, lacking even a hint of irony. Her co-stars Susan Sarandon and James Marsden bring their "A" games as well. Alas, the script is the poison apple. The motives of the villain are foggy and the pace suffers when the goals and directives of the story change. The second half is less funny and more clunky, and the conclusion feels rushed and lackluster. All things considered, the songs, the music, and Amy Adams make this worthwhile, if imperfect.

    I loved Enchanted! A delightful play on fairy tales and a wonderful performance by Amy Adams. I don't expect her to be putting out an album anytime soon, but she sang well and was fabulous to watch.
