Enchanted- my review

Well I saw enchanted last night. It was really good! haha, I'll go into more detail in a minute. I also got to go ice skating with Kacey and Mel- these two girls at my youth group! We had such a good time. (I saw the movie with them too).
Well as I said previously, the movie was really good. The singing, I thought, was marvelous. It really captured the nostalgic innocent disney feel. Everyone needs a fairy tale once in a while. EVEN olive, the Uber Cynic of Doom!!! haha.
The clash with reality I thought was hilarious, which of course created most of the plot. It was very suspenseful at some parts. I loved it. Robert, played by Patrick Dempsey or whoever, was much more New York-y than I had gathered from the commercials at first. Of course Giselle, played by Amy Adams, warmed him up by the end. One thing the commercials had not advertised in the least was the presence of "nancy," played by none other than the infamous Idina Menzel!!! I was shocked to see HER, but greatly pleased. Granted, they have to leave some surprises for the actual film, but I thought it could have been a big draw for fans of the theatre. One of my favorite characters was Pip, the little chipmunk. I'm sure you could have guessed that one, but I just had to say it! He was really funny.
The movie was a lot deeper than you would originally think. Driving home Mel and her mom and I generated over 10 archetypes and hidden messages! Some of them are:
the comparison of relative happiness between reality and the fairy tale world
the beauty of love pure vs. in your face and all about
don't take candy (or poisoned apples) from strangers

Well...I hope those made sense. They sound better when explained I think. haha! Anyways, I totally plan on seeing it a few more times, so if you want to hit the theaters with me, gimme a shout out!
Happy
Thanksgiving
Good
Night
God
Bless
