"With its buoyant combination of romance, music and fun, 'Enchanted' emerges as one of the most entertaining films of the year."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
3.5/5
"
Enchanted
is a sugar spun delight. It's as fluffy as a bunch of newborn bunnies and as cute as an entire collection of buttons."
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
B
"It's Amy Adams who lends the role a heart bigger than the frame can contain. I defy anyone to watch this movie and not fall hopelessly in love with her performance."
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Orndorf
"All the fairy-taley wrap-up is decidedly less wonderful than young Morgan's insight and gumption. Surrounded by calculated Disnifications, she's both imperfect and convincing."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
C+
"Innovative concept meets gratingly dull plot. Take your 9-year-old, but bring your No Doze."
EDGE Boston
David Foucher
B
"It makes for good family viewing."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3.5/4
"
Enchanted
proves that a motion picture can be light and frothy and yet still be intelligent and emotionally rewarding. As unlikely as it may seem, this is one of the year's best and brightest films."

Dustin Putman
B+
"This is a film Walt himself would have been proud of, a family flick that's marvelously gratifying no matter what your age."

Eric D. Snider
B+
"Smart, sassy and sweet but...never vulgar or mean, it's a knowing but not condescending modern family-friendly fairy tale."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/4
"
Enchanted
earns its label as a "family film" by virtue of its ability to captivate audience members both young and old."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"Tween girls whom the movie is aimed at will have a blast."

7/10
"Disney's idea is to postmodernize their own princess franchises, and instead of going after them with snark, the references are giddy and gleeful (and quite numerous)."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
3/4
"Simple, relentlessly charming fairytale conjures some old-fashioned Mouse House magic - and a star-making turn from Amy Adams."
Big Picture Big Sound
Joe Lozito
8/10
"
Enchanted
is, indeed, enchanting."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
5/5
"I walked in there all crabby, tired, bitter, and sad, and I walked out with a beatific smile on my face that not even Beowulf could remove entirely."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
B+
"Disney's gloriously tongue-in-cheek parody of its own princess genre is notable for how it's G-rated heroine makes us realize how far a bit of innocence and optimism can uplift our outlook in today's untrusting world."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
3/4
"Surprisingly sophisticated riff on animated fairy-tale movie cliches."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
3/4
"There are probably a few actresses who could play the role of an animated Disney princess come to life, but let's be thankful it's Amy Adams who is playing it."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
B-
"
Enchanted
bubbles over with good cheer, due in large part to Adams for the wide-eyed optimism and innocence she brings to her irony-free performance."
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
" It couldn't be whispier or more Disney-rific -- don't expect any grand philosophies on life beyond 'ain't true love grand?' -- but as a way to pass a couple hours in sheer movie-movie bliss, you can't go wrong."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/5
"The kids and adults can dig this one, though adults may be stricken with Disney deja vu by this point."
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
3/5
"Enchanting for most of its running time."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
3/4
"Amy Adams does something akin to what Johnny Depp did in the first
Pirates
picture: take a potentially generic Disney movie and invest it with a sublimely inventive performance that takes the overall product to a whole other level."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
B+
"No air quotes or winks at the audience, just a fresh, sweet story. And that's movie magic."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
2/4
"Eventually peddles the same old ass-backwards messages, equating physical beauty with goodness, and positing that a woman's greatest dream is that a hunk will materialize out of thin air and make her a contented homemaker and wife."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
"It quickly becomes obvious that instead of finding a fresh angle of approach, the filmmakers have simply given us yet another fish-out-of-water fantasy a la "Splash.""
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
4/5
"This witty romantic romp playfully spins its story with the required cuteness constantly subverted by a very sharp script."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B
"A very nice enjoyable fluffy movie."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
C+
"Given the possibilities it's not particularly inventive, but it is nice to see a comedy so affectionate with the conventions it spoofs."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
10/10
"This magical fantasy-in-reverse is perhaps the best family film of the year."

Susan Granger
8/10
"If the mere notion of Disney returning to their roots doesn't at least bring a tiny bit of a smile to your face, then you are, I'm sorry, completely dead inside."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
3/4
"This family film is fun, but essentially paint-by-numbers."
Oscar Guy
