Midweek Mention... Enchanted

Welcome back to another magical episode of Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're diving into the charming, whimsical, and downright delightful world of Enchanted.

Enchanted, released in 2007 and directed by Kevin Lima, cleverly combines the fantastical elements of animated fairy tales with the gritty reality of live-action. This Disney film begins in the animated world of Andalasia, where the typical fairy tale tropes are turned on their head when our heroine, Giselle, is thrust into the real world of New York City.

Amy Adams stars as Giselle, a classic Disney princess with a twist. Her world is turned upside down when she's banished from Andalasia by an evil queen and finds herself in the bustling, not-so-magical streets of New York. There, she encounters Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey), a divorce lawyer and single dad, who's as cynical as she is naively optimistic.

Enchanted stands out for its seamless blend of animation and live-action, bringing together the best of both worlds. The film is a playful nod to Disney classics while also offering a fresh, modern take on the genre.

This film is a delightful watch for the whole family. It's got romance, comedy, catchy songs, and just the right amount of nostalgia. Enchanted is clever in its self-awareness, poking fun at fairy tale clichés while still honouring the beloved Disney formula. The result is a film that's as appealing to adults as it is to kids.

We were surprisingly all quite positive about this one. You might have expected us to give this a right kicking, but not the case! So there!

So, whether you're in it for the nostalgia, the laughs, or just a feel-good family movie night, Enchanted is a perfect pick. Join us as we delve into the magical, musical world of Andalasia and New York City, right here on Bad Dads Film Review. 🎵👸🏙️🎬👨‍👧‍👦🍿
