Disenchanted starts off years after her happily ever after. Giselle, Robert and Morgan move to a new community and Andalasia (a magical kingdom) and the real world are thrown off-balance. Disenchanted is a sequel to Enchanted, which came out 15 years ago.
The movie Disenchanted took 15 years to make while fans thought there wasn’t even going to be a sequel. The main character, Giselle is a woman who is burnt out while her husband Robert plays along, more of a caricature of a picture perfect husband than Giselle’s princess role in the first film. Adams, Marsden, and Rudolph carry the movie, as Dempsey is content playing the supporting arm candy, taking a backseat to the mounting drama.
To plot the summary, Giselle, Robert, and Morgan move to a new house in the suburb of Monroeville with their newest addition. The community is overseen by Malvina Monroe, who has nefarious intentions for the family. When problems arise, Giselle wishes that their lives were the perfect fairy-tale. The spell backfires, with Giselle rushing to save her family and her homeland of the Kingdom of Andalasia before the clock strikes midnight.
The first part of this movie is very confusing mainly because so much is going on. I watched Enchanted (the first) a long time ago and I barely remember what happened in the movie. I believe that if watches are gonna watch Disenchanted watch Enchanted before. The movie was a 6/10 on disney plus but I give it a 7/10.
The movie was necessarily boring, the first parts of the movie were fun to watch but as it got near the end it started to get more boring. Much like its message, Disenchanted reminds us that every moment has the potential for providing us with a happily ever after, but it’s the good and the bad that makes it ever more enchanting. Did we need a sequel to Enchanted? No, not really, but it’s cute enough to cast a bit of an idealist spell this holiday season.
