2/5 stars
What happens after the beautiful young heroine meets her Prince Charming and they live happily ever after? This is the question posed by Disenchanted, a belated sequel to the 2007 musical fantasy hit Enchanted, which simultaneously celebrated and lampooned the traditions of the classic Disney fairy tale.
Amy Adams reprises her role as Giselle, the naive maiden from the magical animated kingdom of Andalasia, who was banished to the real world by an evil queen, only to fall in love with Patrick Dempsey’s divorcee Robert.
James Marsden and Idina Menzel also return, along with Oscar-winning songwriters Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.
Picking up the action years later, Giselle and Robert escape New York for the suburbs, in search of a quieter life for their newborn baby, much to the chagrin of Robert’s now teenaged daughter, Morgan (Gabriella Baldacchino).
