Disenchanted (2022)
1/10
The clue is in the title
18 November 2022
"Enchanted" mesmerized me back in the day as a kid, and did not lose any of its charms when I rewatched it lately as a grown-up. The sequel, however, lacks the original's cleverness, excitement and warmth (or enchantment, if you will).

There are (way too) many songs, but neither as memorable as "That's How You Know" or "Ever Ever After". The plot is all over the place at times. It is not a horrible movie, but rather just an average one. You will not find much of a love story - we are now told that memories are pretty much all that matters. No more carpe diem, I guess.

Well, perhaps the hidden message is to rewatch the original for nostalgia's sake and give up on crossing the threshold of "happily ever after".
