Disenchanted
Disillusioned with life in the city, feeling out of place in suburbia, and frustrated that her happily ever after hasn’t been so easy to find, Giselle turns to the magic of Andalasia for help. Accidentally transforming the entire town into a real-life fairy tale and placing her family’s future happiness in jeopardy, she must race against time to reverse the spell and determine what happily ever after truly means to her and her family.
Critics Sentiment
Giselle discovers she is transforming into wicked stepmother
Morgan feels like outcast at new school, meets Malvina Monroe
The film dramatically improves when Giselle makes her fairy tale wish and begins her villainous transformation, jumping from formulaic suburban comedy to inspired character work.
Disenchanted starts as a predictable suburban family comedy that critics found formulaic and uninspired compared to the original. The film finds its footing when Amy Adams transforms into a deliciously wicked stepmother, creating the sequel's most praised moments. However, the climax relies heavily on familiar Disney tropes and the resolution feels rushed, leaving critics appreciative of Adams' performance but disappointed by the overall lack of the original's fresh charm.
