Well, mostly for the worse, Enchanted is precisely what you would have expected from a PG-Rated (Could have been G) Disney movie that wasn’t produced by Pixar. Throw in some crass commercialism and a predictable plot, and you have a relatively bad film. No real reason to waste anyone’s time explaining any more about that, especially since it’s not as if we’re the target audience.

But Amy Adams was nominated for a Golden Globe, and has some buzz surrounding her for a possible Oscar nod. She does bring charm and pluck to the role as Giselle and embodies the cartoon-in-the-real-world rather well. But…I just can’t seem to get all that worked up over her performance.

To her credit, Adams made Enchanted remotely watchable. With a lesser actress, maybe the film is unbearable…but I can’t see that distinction making her worthy of a nomination.
