Summary

This week, your hosts sing along with Amy Adams (and some cockroaches) in ENCHANTED! Meta, satire, spoof, homage – ENCHANTED is all of the above. Filled with deep Disney nerd references (literally every name in this movie means something), sweet homages (the old men in the park were chimney sweeps in MARY POPPINS), and delightfully singable tunes, this movie was Amy Adams’ first starring role and she embodies what a cartoon would act like in real life while bringing an earnest sincerity to every moment. The central love story is pretty by-the-numbers, but that doesn’t matter. Keep your eyes on the three-way-tie in scenery-chewing that is James Marsden’s prince, Timothy Spall’s hapless henchman, and Susan Sarandon’s literal dragonlady. Laugh out loud funny, with a satisfyingly modern climactic rescue, ENCHANTED is, well…enchanting.
