If you are anything like me when it comes to movies; every now and then you want to take a break from your daily routine, sit down, slow the pinballs in the brain and just laugh. This is the movie to watch. I fell in love with Amy Adams (The Muppets, Julie & Julia) as Princess Giselle in this film. Imagine when a Disney type fairy tale world smacks into present day Manhattan. The evil Queen Narissa played by Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking, Thelma & Louise) banishes the princess to New York City, where her fairy land sensibilities get tested. Waiting for her prince to come and rescue her, she meets divorce lawyer Robert Philip played by Patrick Dempsey (Made of Honor, Valentine’s Day) and her belief of living happily ever after begins to take on a whole new meaning. This movie is perfect for all ages and if I can end here with one last thought–picture the wonderful Amy Adams singing with a pack of rodents. Need I say more?
